What is a loan origination system?

A loan origination system (LOS) takes a borrower from application through underwriting to funded loan. Codiot builds custom LOS platforms for lenders whose credit box, products, or volume have outgrown off-the-shelf tools: borrower portals, broker portals, underwriting engines, and the integrations between them.

The moment you're probably in

You'll recognize one of these.

The workaround web

Your team runs deals through the LOS, then re-runs them in spreadsheets because the system can't hold your actual credit policy.

The product ceiling

You want to launch a new loan product. Your vendor's roadmap says maybe next year. Your competitors say thanks.

The volume wall

Underwriting that worked at 50 loans a month is drowning at 500. Headcount isn't the answer, throughput is.

What we build

A loan origination system, end to end.

Animated hand-drawn flow: a loan application travels through underwriting to funding

ApplyUnderwriteFund

Borrower portal

Application, documents, status, a front door borrowers don't abandon.

Broker portal

Submissions, pipelines, and commissions your broker network actually adopts.

Underwriting engine

Your credit policy as rules and models, decisions in seconds, with an audit trail.

Document pipeline

Collection, extraction, verification, the paper chase, automated.

Integrations

Credit bureaus, KYC/AML, valuation, servicing, Salesforce, wired in, not bolted on.

Reporting

Pipeline, pull-through, cycle times, the numbers that run a lending business.

Systems we speak

Your stack, not our preferences.

Is this right for you?

When it fits, and when it doesn't.

Signs you need this

·Applications are handled across email, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools.
·Underwriting decisions are slow, inconsistent, or hard to audit.
·Adding a new loan product means months of manual workarounds.
·You cannot see pipeline, pull-through, or turnaround time in one place.

What's included

·Configurable application intake, document handling, and decisioning.
·Rules engine plus bureau and verification integrations.
·Approval workflows, adverse-action handling, and audit trails.
·Clean handoff of funded loans to servicing.

What's not

·Credit policy itself: we encode your rules, we do not set them.
·The servicing system, which is a loan management system we can also build.
·Bureau or data-provider contracts, which you hold directly.

When this isn't the right fit

·One simple product at low volume that a configured product already covers.
·You need it live in a week with no integrations.
·Your origination policy is undocumented and not yet ready to define.

FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly.

How much does a custom LOS cost?

A focused first release is a much smaller build than a full multi-product platform. We scope against your loan volume so the system pays for itself in throughput, and we'll tell you plainly if off-the-shelf is the better answer for your stage.

Build vs buy, when does custom win?

Buy when your products are standard and volume is low. Build when your credit box is a competitive advantage, when vendor limits shape your roadmap, or when per-seat pricing scales past what a build would cost.

How long does an LOS take to build?

First lending workflow live in 3-4 months, full platform typically 6-9 months, shipped in stages so your team is originating on it long before 'done.'

Can you work with our compliance team?

Yes, audit trails, permissioning, and fair-lending explainability are designed in from the first sprint, not retrofitted for the audit.
