🚀 Intro to Chimney Home: Turn Your App Into the #1 Source for Home Loans

May 19, 2025

In a world where 80% of mortgage-ready homeowners don’t borrow from their primary financial institution, Chimney Home exists to flip that stat on its head. This is not another widget. It’s your new growth engine: a low-lift, high-impact platform that transforms your digital banking experience into your #1 source of home loans.

🔥 Why financial institutions choose Chimney Home

Chimney Home helps you identify, engage, and convert borrowers - all within your existing app infrastructure. No more missed opportunities. No more flying blind.

  • Get Better Data: Access real-time home values, lien data, equity, and mortgage info.
  • Convert More Leads: Target the right member at the right time with personalized loan offers.
  • Automate Everything: From campaign deployment to loan triggers, Chimney runs in the background, 24/7.

Institutions using Chimney see 2x application completion rates and 25% higher pull-through rates.

🙋‍♂️ The key personas who buy Chimney

Chimney wins when we align to one of these three roles:

  • Chief Marketing Officer / VP Digital: They want to increase MAUs, own member engagement, and improve NPS.
  • Chief Lending Officer / VP Consumer Lending: Their mandate is clear: drive more qualified applications and reduce fallout.
  • Product or Innovation Teams: Seeking fast-to-deploy, easy-to-measure tools that don't eat up engineering resources.

💡 Why homeowners love Chimney Home

Homeowners aren’t looking for a mortgage. They’re looking for confidence, control, and clarity. Chimney Home delivers:
