MACON, Ga. /Mortgage and Finance News/ — LBA Ware(TM), provider of the leading automated incentive compensation and sales performance management platform for mortgage lenders, announced today that Georgia-based United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: UCBI) (“United”) has deployed CompenSafe(TM) to automate loan originator (LO) and processor commissions.
The FDIC-insured community bank has been using CompenSafe to efficiently and compliantly automate commissions for its 80 LOs and supporting loan processors since August. CompenSafe’s built-in integrations with the bank’s payroll provider and Ellie Mae(R) Encompass(R) loan origination system (LOS) helped make the bank’s transition away from spreadsheets a smooth one.
“Before CompenSafe, our commissions process was arduous and ate up a lot of man-hours,” said Mike Davies, president of United Community Bank Mortgage Services, the mortgage lending division of United. “Our outdated process required several steps with manual input that we knew would not be sustainable as our company continues to grow.”
“We wanted a more efficient process – something that would stand up to audits and that could be monitored, managed and scaled for growth,” Davies continued. “CompenSafe was a brilliant choice for us because of its out-of-the-box integrations with our payroll and origination systems. It’s greatly simplified the commissions process and given our HR, accounting and audit departments a high degree of confidence that everything is done with exactness and thoroughly documented.”
CompenSafe gives United much-needed flexibility to control its own compensation schedules, including the ability to specify multiple KPIs and payout tiers. For example, while the bank’s LOs earn commissions based on the number and volume of loans closed, its processors are bonused based on performance metrics like speed and quality. Commission projections are updated automatically in CompenSafe as loans close and are available to LOs and processors on-demand to help motivate performance.
“We’re proud to offer United Community Bank a flexible solution for automating not just LO commissions, but also performance-based bonus payouts for loan processors, whose quality and speed of work is essential to delivering an exceptional borrower experience,” said LBA Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. “CompenSafe helps producers stay motivated and lets banks say goodbye to manual, spreadsheet-driven processes without missing a beat when it comes to maintaining a compliant audit trail.”
