  • Built for large institutions, retrofitted for community lenders
  • Staff spend hours on data gathering instead of credit decisions

how ned works

Automated underwriting,
connected by live data.

Most loan underwriting software stops at the application. Ned connects intake through closing with automated cash-flow analysis — so every underwriting decision is grounded in real borrower data.

01

Qualify with live data

Borrowers connect their bank accounts from day one. Ned surfaces real cash-flow data so your team can assess creditworthiness immediately — not after days of manual document review.

Cut first-decision time from days to hours
02

Automate the intake

Digital intake, e-signatures, and automated data collection remove friction for borrowers and eliminate back-and-forth for your team. Applications move forward — not sideways.

Fewer document requests. Faster closes.
03

Underwrite with confidence

Automated cash-flow analysis, deal structuring, and scenario modelling give your credit team a complete financial picture — decisions are faster, more defensible, and less reliant on instinct.

More defensible credit underwriting decisions
04

Monitor after close

Automated repayments, real-time portfolio monitoring, and early risk signals keep you close to every borrower — without adding work to your team's plate.

Catch risk before it becomes a loss
built for smarter underwriting

What automated underwriting
means for your institution.

Faster credit decisions, every time

With live cash-flow data in hand at every stage, your underwriting team spends less time chasing documents and more time making sound credit decisions. Shorter cycles mean more volume — without more staff.

🔍

Risk you can actually see

Ned doesn't just help you underwrite — it keeps watching your portfolio after close. Real-time borrower health signals mean you're never the last to know when something changes.

📈

Scale without the strain

Ned's automated underwriting platform grows with you. Add volume, expand programmes, or launch new loan products — without rebuilding workflows or hiring additional ops staff.

🤝

A better borrower experience

Borrowers stay informed and in control — with a transparent portal, status updates, and clear next steps. Faster underwriting means faster answers and stronger relationships.

🛡️

Compliance built in

Audit trails, role-based access, and secure data management are part of the platform — not add-ons. Ned keeps your institution compliant and defensible without adding overhead.

🎯

Intelligence that travels with the loan

The cash-flow data you collect at intake doesn't disappear after approval. Ned keeps it connected, current, and visible — so every team member has the same picture at every stage.

questions underwriting teams ask us

We've heard your concerns.
Here's the straight answer.

"We don't have the IT resources for a complex implementation."
Ned is cloud-based and deploys in 4–8 weeks with a dedicated implementation manager guiding every step. No heavy IT lift required. Your underwriting team stays focused on credit decisions — not technology.
"How does connecting borrower bank accounts work securely?"
Ned is SOC 2 compliant with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, and full audit trails. Borrowers connect accounts through secure open banking integrations — and you own your data, always.
"Can Ned work alongside our existing underwriting tools?"
Ned is modular by design. Start with automated cash-flow analysis for underwriting, then expand as you're ready. APIs and integrations allow Ned to sit alongside or replace existing point solutions in your underwriting workflow.
"How do we know staff will actually adopt it?"
Every implementation includes admin and team training, best-practice playbooks based on real lender deployments, and ongoing support. Ned is built to be intuitive — not another system your team works around.
"Does automated underwriting mean we lose control over credit decisions?"
Not at all. Ned automates the data gathering and cash-flow analysis — your credit team stays in control of every underwriting decision. Think of it as better information, faster, with full configurability to match your credit policy.
"We're not sure we can justify the investment right now."
Every week of manual underwriting carries its own cost: staff hours, slower approvals, missed risk signals, and lost loan volume. Ned pricing is transparent monthly SaaS with no hidden integration fees — built for institutions like yours.
