FinPal's Financial Planning CRM Adds Support for Mortgage Brokers

FinPal has announced that the next release of its software will include support for mortgage brokers. FinPal's software is built on Microsoft's Dynamics 365/CRM and will quickly become a full featured solution for brokers, according to FinPal's CEO, Stephen Handley.

"Building a capable software system is all about the data. Because data required for advisers and brokers is almost identical, it is relatively easy for us to add support for the lending industry," Handley siad in a statement.

The initial release will focus on automated workflows and support for mortgage commissions, Handley stated. In addition, data specific to the mortgage industry will flow through to existing features such as FinPal's client portal and document generation system, he said.

In future releases, FinPal plans to connect to complementary technologies to further expand capabilities for the lending industry, according to company officials.
