About Ascent Platform

Ascent is the next-generation platform that provides lenders with the ability to streamline any and all product applications and forms without disrupting existing systems and processes. Ascent replaces the patchwork of full-stack product applications, static web forms, and PDFs with intelligent applications and forms featuring prefilled data, optional prescreening rules and logic, and collaborative document collection. Most important, the platform learns from every interaction, and uses those learnings to make subsequent experiences more contextual, with fewer questions for the customer and less work for the lender. Using a no-code builder, institutions can rapidly configure and deploy beautiful bespoke applications and forms at their own pace.
