Our AI platform, Betsy™, runs on Tinman®, our rules-based decision engine that matches consumer and property attributes with the underwriting criteria across 45 of the nation’s largest investors. This technology has enabled us to help American families save an average of $20,000 over the life of their loan. We’re committed to building the future of home finance by making it cheaper, faster, easier, and just plain Better.”
