THE DIFFERENCE

The next era of recapture will be won by intelligence.

Comprehensive data, real-time speed, and cross-channel activation capabilities to meet borrowers so intuitively, winning them again feels inevitable.

Intelligence

One data suite, built for recapture

Real-time credit, property and equity, consumer and life-event signals, plus off-the-shelf models for refi, cash-out, HELOC, and prepayment — all run through your own risk logic.

Instant

Real-time monitoring and predictions

Predictive models flag borrowers most likely to take action before they raise their hand. And when a borrower takes action—such as submitting an application elsewhere—real-time alerts enable immediate, same-day engagement.

Interoperable

Deployed wherever you need it for 1-to-1 outreach

Individual borrower-level intelligence flows seamless into your current tech stack: data warehouse, CRM, agent prompts, AI application or marketing tool. Nothing to rip out, nothing to adopt.

How it works

Predict. Monitor. Act. Measure.

One layer connecting borrower signals to servicing action across the full lifecycle — from the borrowers you are at risk of losing to proof that you won them back.

The Impact

One missed signal. Years of lost value.

Every lost borrower carries a real cost to the business. On average, this means approximately $5-$6k in servicing revenue, in addition to $11k in average acquisition costs to acquire another loan to take its place.

FAQs

You have recapture questions. We have answers.

Recapture is the share of your paid-off and refinancing borrowers that you win back into a new loan instead of losing them to another lender. It now sits on the executive dashboard next to delinquency and MSR value.

The signals that drive recapture live outside the servicing system, and batch cycles surface them only after a competitor is already in the conversation. The typical lender keeps fewer than four of every ten past borrowers. Recapture is a data problem, not a platform problem.

Around $4 to 5K in lost servicing revenue when the MSR ends, plus roughly $11.1K to backfill that runoff with a new origination, for an average impact near $16K per borrower (MBA, Q3 2025).

A purpose-built borrower intelligence layer that delivers real-time credit data, property and equity signals, life-event triggers, and predictive models into the systems you already run, compliant by design.

No. Borrower-level intelligence flows into your existing data warehouse, CRM, AI application, or marketing tool. It is an intelligence layer, not infrastructure. Nothing to rip out, nothing to adopt.

Know them. Keep them. Borrower intelligence at full throttle.
