CARMEL, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Baker Hill, a leading financial technology provider, delivering solutions for common loan origination, risk and relationship management, CECL, and smart data analytics, was named an awards finalist by Finovate, bringing together banks, fintech firms and individuals to honor the very best of the industry.
Recognized as a company that is driving fintech innovation forward, Baker Hill is a finalist for its flagship product, Baker Hill NextGen®, and its substantial impact on offering quality products and an exceptional digital experience to the financial services industry. Baker Hill NextGen® provides a framework to automate, integrate and streamline commercial lending processes, including lending for small, mid-sized and large enterprises, allowing financial institutions of all sizes to create efficiencies while minimizing risk. Baker Hill’s platform allows institutions to address all their lending needs – from prospect to deal structure and credit analysis – all within a single platform.
Niles Bay, CTO and COO of Baker Hill, said, “Our powerful cloud-based banking solution empowers financial institutions with unprecedented core strength combined with risk management and powerful insights – and helps our clients deliver the exceptional digital experience their customers demand. With the most advanced, flexible and scalable technology stack in existence today, it is the intelligent choice for those who want to boost productivity, maximize convenience and lower costs of ownership.”
Today, Baker Hill and Baker Hill NextGen® have experienced tremendous success, including the rapid expansion of its client base following the completed development of Baker Hill NextGen®, already supporting more than 20,000 bankers to originate loans. Additionally, its financial institution clients are realizing substantial success, including a 60 percent time improvement in the creation of commercial credit memos for clients; a reduction in small business turnaround times from 7 days to less than 3 hours; and a 50 percent expansion of new loan opportunities with the Baker Hill online loan application solution.
Financial institutions have repeatedly commended Baker Hill for its technology, with numerous banks and credit unions either expanding existing relationships or tapping the company for its solutions. Recently selecting Baker Hill NextGen® for Commercial and Small Business Lending, Massachusetts-based de novo bank New Valley Bank & Trust partnered with the company to help develop efficiencies in the lending process and modernize and digitize the borrower experience.
