FundMore, powered by Opta's data, enables frictionless lending for Canadian banks

OTTAWA, ON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - FundMore, an award-winning mortgage underwriting software, is pleased to announce an industry-leading integration with Opta Information Intelligence (Opta), Canada's largest property location intelligence provider and a Verisk business. 

This collaboration enables lenders to retrieve property information from Opta's databases which contain details on 18+ million Canadian properties. Automating the process for property details and valuations during the application procedure can expedite the process dramatically; improving the time to close a file.

"Our award-winning platform is now even more efficient through our integration with Opta's leading property data solution," says Chris Grimes, CEO of FundMore. "Underwriting is now a one-day process, and lenders of all stripes should be rethinking their legacy systems for this industry paradigm shift. Powered by Opta, we continue to give the digital tools and automation they need to keep up with changing consumer demands and regulatory requirements."

"Our goal is to help streamline the mortgage process by leveraging the industry's most accurate property data sets," says Greg McCutcheon, President of Verisk's Opta.
