ULEND Academy is a lending GAME CHANGER. No more wasted hours in classes with great ideas that are hard to implement in real life! ULEND Academy is a hands-on, customized experience that propels lenders from transactional to consultative, meeting members' full financial needs.
The curriculum guides lenders from foundational to advanced skill levels in all lending communication channels and across all stages of the loan process - origination, underwriting, and closing - with cross-selling, consultation, and compliance woven throughout.
ULEND Academy is set up as virtual learning workshop within three daily sessions where participants will discuss, learn, and then apply. This occurs within manageable sessions, so application can happen immediately. ULEND Academy graduates will return to work knowing how to use the skills and concepts learned in their daily interactions with members. Are you ready to empower your lenders to create and keep loyal members through an EXCEPTIONAL MEMBER INTERACTION?
