Meridian Community Bank restructured its underwriting workflow to move from a 12-day average approval time to just over 4.
Meridian Community Bank's loan approval pipeline relied on manual document handoffs between five separate departments, each with its own queue and turnaround expectations.
By consolidating document intake into a single digital workflow and automating routine compliance checks, the bank cut average approval time from 12 days to just over 4 — without adding headcount.
