Built’s online solution will simplify and enhance the lending experience
for borrowers and builders
Minneapolis (Feb. 11, 2021) U.S. Bank Housing Capital Company (NYSE:USB), a division of U.S. Bank that specializes in offering full-service banking solutions to private and public homebuilders, announced today that it has partnered with Built, the leader in construction finance software, to offer an online solution for managing homebuilder construction loans.
The innovative new platform is part of U.S. Bank’s strategic plan to invest in new solutions that save its customers both time and money. U.S. Bank is committed to innovative, customer-focused technology, and the adoption of Built is yet another example of the Bank’s customer-centric culture and decision-making.
“The ability of Built’s platform to manage risk, maximize productivity, and improve the customer experience strongly aligns with U.S. Bank’s risk management discipline and strategic priorities,” said Jason Park, Senior Vice President, Housing Capital Company (HCC) President and Commercial Real Estate National Head of Underwriting, U.S. Bank. “Our mission has always been to offer best-in-class service to homebuilders across the U.S. With the advanced capabilities of this new platform, Built has created a seamless customer experience for our Housing Capital clients that will accelerate our capabilities in an increasingly digital world.”
U.S. Bank HCC decided to partner with Built because of Built’s unique ability to act as a cloud-based hub for all data, files and communication between the Bank, its vendors, and most importantly, its customers. Everyone involved in the loan process can now view relevant information, such as availability of funds, inspection status, and the status of collateral (including single-family residences, apartments, commercial buildings and land). Thanks to improved transparency and a single communication medium, draw requests, disbursements and collateral additions will be processed faster than ever.
“Our focus is on helping U.S. Bank Housing Capital Company create a seamless digital process that empowers borrowers and builders and frees bank staff to add more value throughout the process,” said Chase Gilbert, CEO at Built. “Innovative lenders like U.S. Bank Housing Capital Company understand that customer satisfaction drives growth. Solutions like Built, which make construction finance management efficient and seamless, are essential to ensuring that experience.”
