Early Access to Group Branding
Managing multiple brands across Blend tenants? Blend’s new Group Branding feature builds on the existing Group Management functionality, and enables customers to customize the borrower experience without juggling multiple environments for mortgage and home equity applications. Configure branding by loan officer group, generate unique application URLs with group branding applied, and maintain a consistent, personalized experience—no extra tenants required.
Blend is looking for 3-5 customers to receive early access to the new Group Branding feature set. If you're interested in getting early access to this new feature set, please reach out to your Blend Customer Success Manager.
