I have not experienced any other system that can do what Blend does as easily as Blend. It's very well suited for the mortgage industry and its ability to communicate with Encompass. I don't think it would be a great CRM tool for a company that doesn't need multiple touch points to a client, for instance, if you simply need a name, phone number, and email address Blend would be overkill. Blend is designed specifically to capture a lot of specific details about a client's financial position.

Xoom is best suited to send and receive money between two people who live in different countries, not only that we can also send money to our friends, colleagues, family members directly in their bank accounts. They have a great currency exchange functionality that directly converts our received money into our local currency, and deposits it into our bank account within a few minutes. The only drawback is that not many people know about it, it needs good marketing so that more people can use this service, and from my experience, I can say it is very secure and a good competitor of Payoneer.

Cons
  • Adding non occupant co-borrowers can be challenging
  • I wish we could mirror the client's screen in real-time so we can see where they are in the application
  • The user side can be a little challenging, some fields are required to be filled out even though they are not important to the application

  • transfer fee could be waived for large transaction amount
  • They could offer referral for new users
  • the exchange rate, though quite competitive, but can be better specially for larger transactions

The implementation was largely successful. Since this was a large shift from normal practices, we faced a few teething problems, but largely I'd say it went well.

Our team has preferred Xoom because it is an efficient and safe way to transfer funds. We are able to be as detailed as necessary with every transaction, which gives us the confidence of knowing where our money is going. We appreciate the ease of use and the free initial account when signing up.
