Blend Labs, Inc. today announced its partnership with Talk’uments, a provider of digital language technology and solutions for the mortgage industry, which will enable lenders and borrowers to navigate the mortgage lifecycle in multiple languages.
Through this integration that embeds Talk’uments into Blend’s mortgage technology suite, “borrowers now have seamless access to Talk’uments’ innovative language support capabilities,” a press release from Blend disclosed.
“At Blend, we are committed to expanding access to financial services by removing barriers in the lending process,” said Nima Ghamsari, co-founder and CEO of Blend. “Integrating Talk’uments into our platform enables lenders to better serve diverse communities with multilingual support, helping more people navigate the mortgage journey with confidence and ease.”
The integration offers lenders the ability to cater to and include multilingual borrowers, as well as provide mortgage disclosures, documents and borrower communications in multiple languages.
“In an increasingly diverse lending landscape, clear communication in different languages is more critical than ever to originate more loans,” said George Baker, founder and CEO at Talk’uments. “Our partnership with Blend empowers lenders to better serve their borrowers by breaking down language barriers and fostering trust and transparency throughout the mortgage journey.”
San Francisco-based Blend offers a suite of programs for the mortgage and consumer banking sectors, as well as a unified platform that it says can serve any consumer banking product.
The partnership follows other recent steps for growth, including the hiring of Srini Venkatramani to lead product and technology growth at the end of 2024.
After recovering from several losses in Q1 2024 and Q2 2024, Blend’s latest earnings report reveals that the company achieved strong top line growth in Q4 2024, with total revenue increasing to $41.4 million, a $5.3 million increase, or a 15% increase from the same period last year.
