How to Eliminate Verification Bottlenecks and Protect Your Margins

Key Takeaways

• One verification vendor protects margins: M&T went from 12 providers to one and cut verification costs by 28–46%.

• Point-of-sale verification speeds closings: Instant and payroll checks inside Blend skip pay stub requests and reach clear to close 6–7 days faster.

• Change management matters more than tech: Run automation first, request documents only when needed and train each role on the new steps.
