Making a Difference

BETTER LENDING THROUGH ELECTRONICS

Superior Financial solutions Nabs Lending Luminary Award

Congratulations to Kurt neeper, president of superior Financial solutions llC, a subsidiary of superior Credit Union in lima, ohio, for earning a Luminary in Lending Award from PROGRESS in Lending, a trade group and online source of strategic lending information and resources.

Neeper received the award this past October for his work with electronic mortgage closings. Keeping the homebuyers’ experience convenient and simple was the impetus behind Superior’s push for eClosings. Due to Neeper’s persistence, Superior became the first credit union in Ohio to provide a true, end-to-end eClosing solution for borrowers.

“Due to advancements in technology and recent changes to the Ohio Revised Code, I knew we could get to a place where borrowers could close a mortgage loan without all the paper and, if necessary, without even coming into a branch or law office to sign,” says Neeper. “My staff invested a lot of time and energy into making the closing process faster and easier for our borrowers. The pandemic and accompanying shutdowns — during a peak mortgage cycle no less — only further exacerbated our belief in the need for the ability to close loans electronically, remotely, and securely.”

Since 2007, Superior Financial Solutions has assisted other credit unions nationwide in originating secondary market-quality mortgage loans. The firm offers mortgage products designed to help member credit unions increase their mortgage production, ranging from correspondent lending to full-service mortgage lending and including everything from application to closing the mortgage loan.
