Mortgage Loan Processor

Clara is a new kind of lender that harnesses the efficiency of technology and the power of data in entirely new ways. By streamlining and customizing the lending process, we strive to give everyone greater confidence over the outcome.

Mortgage processing is trade. And until recently, a trade that’s been executed in a pretty consistent manner: with lots of trouble-shooting and very little technology. Clara is changing that: we’re re-imagining the lending process and working to transform the severely antiquated mortgage industry by implementing technology to the very core of the mortgage bank.
