HandsDown Digital

HandsDown Digital builds a digital lending tool that helps consumers deal with their mortgage lender. The company began in the learning industry and noticed how confusing borrowers often found the mortgage process.

What HandsDown Digital offers

• Online loan applications — borrowers can apply through a digital channel.
• Document upload — supporting paperwork can be sent whenever the borrower chooses, which can shorten approval.
• Guided home financing — a digital route that walks people through financing a home.

Who it works with

Mortgage lenders and financial institutions that want to give borrowers a clearer, more secure online experience. The company says it wants to fill a gap in financial services by combining education, security and convenience in one digital setting, and it presents the tool as a way for lenders to speed up approvals.
