To kick off Digital Mortgage 2026, this session focuses on lender growth strategies. New playbooks for customer acquisition. New rules for how customers can find you online. How to modernize and deepen partnerships with realtors, builders, financial advisors, etc., using better data, smarter integrations/deals, and easier communication. All while differentiating your brand as you execute.
Rocket CTO Shawn Malhotra opens the session with a deep dive on what all of this looks like at scale. The session then brings in additional panelists to detail how these strategies can work for lenders of all sizes.
As the mortgage industry continues to navigate significant modernization and market transformation efforts, Sellers need clear visibility into current initiatives, implementation readiness and future changes that may impact their operations and doing business with Freddie Mac.
As large, technology-enabled lenders continue to scale through automation, centralized operations, and data advantages, many are asking whether the “megalender” era represents a permanent transformation of mortgage production.
Is this true market evolution — or another digital lending wave that will plateau as conditions shift? This session examines what’s structurally different in 2026, and what it means for competition, margins, and long-term strategy.
In today’s times where nine in ten consumers are worried about committing to financial obligations there seem to be consensus that any sort of consumer/payment protection would be a good option for financial institutions to offer and for consumers to evaluate. What are the best tools that can help consumers make better decisions, be protected during hardship and still follow all the regulations to ultimately benefit the consumer to have a financially bright future?
Based on discussions with consumers, the OCC and the FDIC, the discussion will focus on the consumers’ needs and on financial institutions working with 3rd parties to provide tools and solutions to achieve better outcomes. Your input is vital to drive a better financial future.
