Athena Home Loans Partners with Q2’s Cloud Lending to Provide Digital-First Mortgage Lending Experience

Leveraging the power of CL Originate™ and CL Loan™, Athena chose CL for its digital-first capabilities, highly configurable solution, security features and Salesforce integration designed to enhance the customer experience.

“Athena was founded to upend the Australian mortgage lending industry, which by nature is designed to keep people in debt to their loans,” said Nathan Walsh, co-founder and CEO of Athena Home Loans. “We’ve created a loan approval process that is 100 percent transparent and is designed exclusively for the borrower. Cloud Lending’s platform also creates new efficiencies for us on the back end, allowing us to pass those savings onto our customers, who are now getting a superior experience, competitive interest rates, faster payoffs and no fees all in the same place.”

Founded in 2017, Athena formally launched its platform in February 2019, surpassing $250 million in home loan applications within the first three days of launch. Through Athena’s loan platform, powered by CL, users can apply for a loan in as little as 15 minutes and receive a decision in a matter of minutes.

“We’re proud to partner with Athena to fulfill its vision of a simpler, better borrower experience,” said Snehal Fulzele, senior vice president and general manager of Cloud Lending at Q2. “Through Cloud Lending’s platform, Athena can originate, settle and manage loans through configurable and automated workflows to scale its loan portfolio and transform the digital lending process for its customers.”
