Benjamin Dinkins has joined digital mortgage origination platform provider LenderClose as sales executive.
Dinkins has extensive contract negotiation and financial services sales experience for Fortune 100 firms. He joins LenderClose from SkySon Financial, where he served as regional sales manager.
Prior to his position with SkySon, Dinkins held a variety of roles, including risk management, procurement, data analytics and relationship management with Nationwide, Syngenta and Morelity, LenderClose says in a release.
In his new role, Dinkins will focus on building relationships with credit unions and community banks, introducing them to the Web-based LenderClose platform.
The platform uses API connections to bring everything lenders require to originate a mortgage or HELOC – from credit scores and income verification to title reports and notary signings – under a single access point.
This allows lending staff to run a streamlined and vastly accelerated underwriting process, the company claims.
Since its launch in March 2016, LenderClose has added 100 lenders to its client list. The firm’s leadership recently announced a growth investment that will allow the company to add 25 employees in the next 12 to 18 months.
In addition to its lender-facing digital hub, LenderClose will soon launch an online dashboard for borrowers. By logging into a secure portal branded with the lender’s logo, loan applicants will be able to monitor in real-time the underwriting and approval of their loans.
