Re-Founding Incumbents for the AI Era with Sequence Holdings Co-Founder and CEO Michael Lee

What was said

"We've started to roll out commercial loans underwriting over the last few months and we functionally have taken the average loan at the bank which used to take 30 days to go go end to end to 11 days."

Michael Lee of Sequence Holdings says BankSouth’s rollout of commercial-loan underwriting tools cut average end-to-end loan turnaround from about 30 days to 11 days. He also says loan volumes doubled in Q2 versus Q1, and the bank handled the increase without changing underwriting standards despite fewer underwriters.
