Press Release – Afterburner
Afterburner and the Loanptions.ais Alliance have the potential to increase productivity across the digital lending space, resulting in faster settlements and improved customer experience.

The recent Australian Economic Roundtable considers the implications of AI for employment and productivity, but innovators have already implemented AI-driven solutions.
Among them are Afterburner AI and LaNoptions.ai, two businesses, and just entered a strategic alliance set up to redefine the digital lending landscape. The collaboration will integrate end-to-end, AI-driven productivity, compliance and profitability improvements into mortgage advisory operations across New Zealand and Australia.
Although both companies are individually recognized as AI innovators, this collaboration creates a powerful, end-to-end workflow for financial professionals. Lanoptions.ai's White Label Hilo Technology takes care of the important first half of the loan journey, streamlines client onboarding, and takes just five minutes. A fully validated application is pushed seamlessly to the aggregator CRMS. From there, Afterburner AI technology takes over and automates the remaining backend processes, from maintainability calculations to document replenishment. Alliances remove the traditionally tedious pile of paperwork that slows the entire process, empowering advisors with a single streamlined solution.
“We're looking forward to seeing you in the process of exploring the world,” said Jeff Christopher, co-founder of Afterburner. “Financial services experts across Australia are facing the same challenges. It's taking too long for managers. They are growing rapidly in response to afterburners to solve this important issue and coordination with Lone Option. Brokers and Aggregators in New Zealand and Australia.”
Julian Fayad, founder and CEO of AAI, added: “The alliance is to combine two complementary technology businesses to eliminate friction from the loan process. We had the opportunity to connect industry-leading applications and onboarding technologies with Afterburner's powerful management tools.
The Afterburner and Loanptions.AI alliances can increase productivity across the digital lending space, resulting in faster settlements and improved customer experience. Both companies respect existing commitments to other partners, agree to maintain their own IP and ensure collaborations that benefit the entire industry.
