Loan officers should be able to manage their pipeline from wherever they are.
This fall, we're releasing Navigator Mobile, an AI agent that helps loan officers do just that. It identifies which loans need attention, helps take the next steps, and lets loan officers review and approve actions before they're executed -- all from mobile.
Get a first look with Nima Ghamsari at MBA Annual on Monday 10/12, 12:30 CT.

Most credit unions already have the data to build a mortgage pipeline. They're just not using it.
At #BlendForum2026, @ACUMACommunity, @MeridianLinkUS, and BCU broke down why members still go elsewhere for a mortgage, even when the relationship already lives on the balance sheet.
Headed to #MBAAnnual - Join Blend CEO Nima Ghamsari on October 12 for an exclusive first look at our latest AI agent for Loan Officers.

"Here's where you work, how much you make, click yes, pre-filled, you're done."
That's how @MandT_Bank borrowers described instant income verification in Blend, powered by @Truework. For loan officers, it meant no longer opening every file with a request for paystubs and W-2s, so they could focus on advising borrowers and moving loans forward.

What does Autopilot save a lender? Our model says $793 per funded loan:
• $498 in fulfillment labor, from fewer hands-on hours on every locked file
• $276 from higher pull-through, the same spend spread over more funded loans
• $19 in carrying cost, from fewer locked days on the hedge and warehouse line

AI that answers questions is useful. AI that can take action and move a loan forward is something different.
Introducing Navigator, now generally available to Autopilot customers.
Loan officers can ask Navigator what's happening on a loan, then tell it to take action:
• Price a loan
• Pull credit
• Submit to AUS
• Send a borrower request
• Generate a pre-approval letter
All without leaving the loan file. Learn more: https://t.co/Qy0h5Q4TNu

Primary account holders carry 10x more deposits.
Yet while 92% of banks call primacy critical, most struggle to convert consumer lending into primary accounts.

Members are not trying to finish a mortgage application. They are trying to get a home.
That is the idea behind Journey Home from @AlliantCU: one connected experience that takes members from saving for a down payment to finding a house, financing it, closing, and moving in. Most of the industry still sells the pieces. Alliant is building the whole path.
We are excited to announce our partnership with Alliant and to power the mortgage engine inside that journey. Blend delivers prequalification, application, and a digital close so the financing step fits the experience instead of interrupting it.
Congratulations to the Alliant team on putting the member's real goal at the center.

You can't fix a slow closing at closing.
Autopilot fixes the application file at intake, so closing disclosures reach borrowers 2-4 days sooner. In a three month study, 70-75% of lender segments got got closing disclosures out faster with Autopilot.

Manual verification checks remain one of the fastest ways to lose borrower momentum and inflate fulfillment costs.
Today, we're going live with Joseph Semrani (Mortgage Operations Leader at @MandT_Bank), Tim Watkins (Blend), and Felicia Lee (@truework) to reveal how modern lenders are slashing verification costs by up to 50% and saving 14,000+ fulfillment hours.

When lenders evaluate Autopilot, the question is almost never 'Can it calculate income?' It is 'How do I know the number is right?'
Fair question. Our answer has two parts. Autopilot calculates income from authoritative guideline text and the document on the page, and when it doesn't have enough to be sure, it asks for documents instead of producing a number. And because it ships continuously, accuracy improvements reach every lender in days, not quarters.
