CompenSafe\u2019s built-in integrations with the bank\u2019s payroll provider and Ellie Mae\u00ae Encompass\u00ae loan origination system (LOS) helped make the bank\u2019s transition away from spreadsheets a smooth one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore CompenSafe, our commissions process was arduous and ate up a lot of man-hours,\u201d said Mike Davies, president of United Community Bank Mortgage Services, the mortgage lending division of United. \u201cOur outdated process required several steps with manual input that we knew would not be sustainable as our company continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted a more efficient process \u2014 something that would stand up to audits and that could be monitored, managed and scaled for growth,\u201d Davies continued. \u201cCompenSafe was a brilliant choice for us because of its out-of-the-box integrations with our payroll and origination systems. It\u2019s greatly simplified the commissions process and given our HR, accounting and audit departments a high degree of confidence that everything is done with exactness and thoroughly documented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CompenSafe gives United much-needed flexibility to control its own compensation schedules, including the ability to specify multiple KPIs and payout tiers. For example, while the bank\u2019s LOs earn commissions based on the number and volume of loans closed, its processors are bonused based on performance metrics like speed and quality. Commission projections are updated automatically in CompenSafe as loans close and are available to LOs and processors on-demand to help motivate performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to offer United Community Bank a flexible solution for automating not just LO commissions, but also performance-based bonus payouts for loan processors, whose quality and speed of work is essential to delivering an exceptional borrower experience,\u201d said LBA Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. \u201cCompenSafe helps producers stay motivated and lets banks say goodbye to manual, spreadsheet-driven processes without missing a beat when it comes to maintaining a compliant audit trail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About United Community Banks, Inc.:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>United Community Banks, Inc.
