Better, a direct lender that has funded more than $100 billion in mortgage volume since 2017, also offers processing and underwriting of digital mortgages for other lenders — notably Ally Bank, which Better has worked with since 2019. By partnering with Infosys — one of the mortgage industry’s most prevalent digital service providers — Better is looking to secure partnerships with more lenders.
