Smartr365 has added new features to its HomeBuyer app that will allow users to verify their identity, follow their case progress, and track the value of their home. 

The end-to-end mortgage and protection platform for brokers allows consumers to purchase a property entirely online, with the new features set to further simplify the process.

Borrowers will now have a new additional option to verify their identity through embedded Digidentity ID software to streamline the service, while direct, real-time status updates can now be sent to the borrower’s phone, reducing reliance on paper.

The updates also mean that when a borrower completes their mortgage and moves into their new home or finalises their remortgage deal, they can use the Smartr365 app to stay updated on their home valuation and keep information on the equity position in their home.

The new features are in addition to the existing capabilities of the app, which already allows borrowers to scan a broker-generated QR code or tap a Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip in an estate agent window, on a property search site or in an email, and automatically and remotely enter their details, share them with a mortgage broker and connect instantly to begin the application process.

Smartr365 CEO, Conor Murphy, commented: “Keeping pace with consumer demand is paramount in our service-first industry, and these new features only go further to improve our users’ experience.

“Our ambition is to make each step of the mortgage journey better, and this frictionless end-to-end journey gives consumers more choice and control than ever before, while allowing brokers to acquire verified leads via the app.

“Offering benefits for both borrowers and brokers, we’re confident that this type of technology is the future of the mortgage process.”
