PNB Housing Finance accelerates its digital journey as Ace 2.5 eases customer on-boarding process

As more people across India seek to buy their dream homes, digital technology is facilitating faster loan disbursals through seamless verification processes. PNB Housing Finance’s unique digital platform Ace 2.5 – an upgrade of its existing platform Ace 2.0 – offers an entirely automated, end-to-end home loan on-boarding process. This includes data collection, verification and lead generation via various digital channels. Customers can upload their documents online with backward integration of the verification processes such as PAN, Aadhaar, digital signature and video-based KYC, including geo-tagging. These are integrated into the company’s underwriting platform for digital transmission of the application, validation, verification of property and loan details leading to final sanction and loan disbursal in the shortest time possible.
