Automatic Lender

Automatic lenders process loans or assumptions without necessarily submitting the credit package to an insurer or guarantor. Instead, these lenders use automated systems to underwrite and approve loans based on predetermined criteria such as credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and collateral value. This allows them to quickly process and provide funding to borrowers without needing manual review. 

One advantage of automatic lenders is their speed and efficiency. Since they don't have to wait for approval from an insurer or guarantor, loans can be processed and approved within hours, providing borrowers with much-needed funds in a timely manner. However, this speed can come at a cost, as automatic lenders may only sometimes consider certain nuances or extenuating circumstances that could impact a borrower's ability to repay the loan.

An automatic lender may process a loan or assumption without submitting the credit package to the insurer or guarantor for underwriting review. However, this is limited to lenders regulated and examined by a government agency. If the lender is not controlled and inspected by a government agency, the insurer or guarantor must approve the lender before an automatic loan or assumption can be processed.

 It is important to note that the insurer or guarantor may still require some underwriting review when approving the lender and that the lender is still subject to the insurer or guarantor's credit policies. Furthermore, the lender must maintain a high level of compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as adhere to the insurer or guarantor's credit standards, to ensure that the loan or assumption is processed safely and soundly.

While this method can expedite the loan approval and processing process, it does come with some caveats. Firstly, automatic lenders tend to fall into two categories – those regulated and examined by a government agency and those that are not. For regulated lenders, the insurer or guarantor will generally have procedures to ensure the process is safe and secure. However, those not held may not have such rigorous guidelines in place and could pose more of a risk to both the lender and the borrower.

Secondly, even for regulated lenders, the insurer or guarantor may require a more thorough loan review before signing off. This can involve examining the borrower's credit history, the value of the collateral (if any), and other elements. Any sign of risk or any areas of concern may still lead to rejecting the loan package, even after the initial review.

Another potential disadvantage of automatic lenders is the lack of personal interaction and guidance that borrowers may receive. Automated systems can only provide a certain level of support, and borrowers may need to take advantage of the insights and advice that human underwriters can offer. Nonetheless, automatic lenders have become increasingly popular in recent years as technological advancements have allowed lenders to streamline their processes and provide faster service to borrowers.

Finally, it's important to note that even if a lender offers automatic loan processing, the insurer or guarantor may still require specific approval for every loan submitted. This means that, even though the process may be automated, there is still a need to work closely with the insurer or guarantor to ensure the loan is approved promptly.

In conclusion, while an automatic lender may offer the potential to expedite the loan approval process, it is important to consider all potential risks and caveats associated with this approach. In addition, it is important to remember that any loan submitted to an insurer or guarantor may still require specific approval before it is approved, regardless of whether it was initially processed through an automated lender.
