As part of Change Machine’s commitment to promoting Black-led fintech products on our platform, we interviewed Frank Pollock, Home Lending Pal‘s Chief Marketing Officer. Home Lending Pal is a consumer-centric mortgage research and education platform that matches first time homebuyers with lenders that specialize in their financial scenarios.
The fintech’s artificial intelligence (AI) engine helps forecast the likelihood of approval and future interest rates based on the consumer’s credit score and verifiable income and assets.
How is Home Lending Pal helping homebuyers?
While Home Lending Pal has a broad base of consumers, our target market is first-time millennial homebuyers. Through the power of AI, Home Lending Pal forecasts your likelihood of approval, the time it will take to get approved, and your future interest rate. As a result, consumers are fully prepared to walk into a conversation with a mortgage lender and negotiate the best deal possible. This level of transparency democratizes the process of buying a home.
