Anderson Brothers Bank
Anderson Brothers Bank is a consumer-lending workhorse: a 1933-vintage Mullins, SC bank that has built more online loan intake than most community-bank peers, but stitched it together from three different vendors on three different domains. Auto and personal applications hand off to a defi SOLUTIONS portal (abbank.defidirect.com), mortgages route to a separate third-party POS (abbankconsumerconnect.mymortgage-online.com), and existing-customer banking lives on Jack Henry's NetTeller (go.abbank.com). Every borrower who clicks 'apply' leaves the Anderson Brothers brand for a generic vendor screen, no rates are published anywhere, and nothing is verified at intake. The volume and the appetite for digital are already there; what's missing is a single, branded, verify-as-you-go front door.
The borrower journey today
How a prospective borrower actually moves through Anderson Brothers’s digital properties right now, line by line.
What we’d change
Three apply buttons, three different vendors, three brands
Anderson Brothers actually lets borrowers start online, which puts it ahead of most peers. But auto/personal go to defi SOLUTIONS, mortgage goes to mymortgage-online.com, and banking sits on NetTeller. A borrower who wants an auto loan and a mortgage touches two unrelated portals, neither of which looks like Anderson Brothers. The brand equity built over 90 years evaporates at the exact moment of conversion.
A high-velocity consumer book with no verification at intake
This is a serious consumer and auto lender, and the application is explicitly 'hassle-free,' which means identity, income, employment, and collateral all get collected the slow way afterward. At this volume, every file that requires a follow-up document request or a VOE call multiplies into real staff hours and days of delay before a borrower hears back.
No rates anywhere means the borrower has to apply to find out
Not one consumer loan page shows an APR or even a 'rates from' teaser. Rate-shopping borrowers, the most valuable auto and personal-loan customers, comparison-shop on price; with nothing to see, many bounce to a credit union or a marketplace lender that quotes instantly. An optional instant estimate from the bank's own rate card keeps that shopper inside the funnel.
You already own the platform to unify this
Anderson Brothers runs Jack Henry (NetTeller online banking and ProfitStars remote deposit are both Jack Henry products, and NetTeller ships on the SilverLake / CIF 20/20 cores). A white-label intake that verifies the borrower and syncs straight into the Jack Henry core is an incremental addition to a stack the bank already runs, not a rip-and-replace, and it retires two third-party portals at once.
What it could look like
Below is a live, interactive white-label demo in Anderson Brothers’s own branding: one front door, every product, with identity, income, and property verified automatically. Try it, or open it full-screen.
Today vs. with RAVEN
| Today | With RAVEN white-label | |
|---|---|---|
| Apply experience | 3 vendor portals on 3 domains | One Anderson Brothers front door for every product |
| Brand experience | Hands off to defi SOLUTIONS / a mortgage POS | Anderson Brothers branding end to end |
| Rate visibility | No rates shown; apply or call to find out | Optional instant estimate from your rate card |
| Identity / income / collateral | Collected manually after the application | Verified automatically in ~90 seconds |
| Borrower effort | Full forms + document uploads per vendor | Name, email, and a secure connect |
| Into the core system | Re-keyed from vendor portals by staff | Synced to Jack Henry automatically |

What automated verification is worth at Anderson Brothers
Anderson Brothers runs one of the highest-velocity lending operations among SC community banks: a 1.46% ROA, a 25-branch coastal footprint, and a consumer loan channel that processes serious volume. Velocity is exactly where per-file verification time compounds fastest. All figures below are estimates built from public data (FDIC, HMDA, CRA filings). See the methodology.
Where the time goes today
Roughly 900 files a year need borrower verification at Anderson Brothers: identity, income, employment, assets, and property, collected today through document requests and follow-up calls.[3]
That is 0 staff hours a year in the expected case, recovered as origination capacity rather than headcount reduction.[1]
Value by lending line
Different files carry different verification loads. Commercial files (beneficial ownership, guarantors, business financials) take the longest; consumer files the least. Expected-case annual labor value:[1][2]
The full math
| Line | Conservative | Expected | Optimistic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff time savings[1][2] | $175K | $315K | $499K |
| Pull-through revenue (3-13 added closings)[4] | $2K | $6K | $10K |
| Total estimated annual value | $177K | $321K | $509K |
The growth side: new residents, captured digitally
Roughly 4,000 new households move into Anderson Brothers's footprint every year, and about 30% of movers open an account with a new bank. They shop with their phones. A white-label, fintech-grade intake flow (the same 5-minute experience above) turns that migration into a lead channel the bank owns instead of renting.[6]
| Annual | Conservative | Expected | Optimistic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital leads captured | 60 | 160 | 360 |
| Funded loans from those leads | 7 | 48 | 180 |
| Value (loan profit + avoided lead spend) | $9K | $86K | $411K |
This is new revenue, not savings, so it is shown separately and excluded from the headline number above.
Beyond the dollar math
Volume is the multiplier
At roughly 900 verifications a year across mortgage, commercial, and a high-volume consumer channel, even the conservative scenario recovers thousands of staff hours annually.
The Grand Strand grows faster than headcount can
Horry County is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country. Growth at that pace either gets funded with new hires or with recovered capacity per file.
A 17.7% ROE has the most to protect
Best-in-class returns make expense discipline the whole game. Verification automation is one of the few levers that adds capacity while holding the efficiency ratio flat.

We also published an independent analysis of Anderson Brothers's performance and market:
Read: The Myrtle Beach BetMethodology & footnotes
Hours saved per file. Published verification-automation case studies (Blend Labs, 2025) report 15-16+ staff hours saved per mortgage file across loan officers, processors, underwriters, and compliance. We model mortgages at 6-14 hours, commercial files (which add beneficial ownership, guarantor identity, and business financials) at 8-16 hours, and simpler consumer or HELOC files at 2-6 hours. The expected case sits well below published benchmarks on purpose.
Loaded staff cost. The $38-48/hour range blends Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS rates for South Carolina loan officers (~$30/hr), processors (~$28/hr), underwriters (~$55/hr), and compliance staff (~$50/hr), including benefits. Most verification labor falls on processors and loan officers, which is why the blend sits closer to the lower rates.
Verification volume. Mortgage counts come from HMDA Modified LAR filings via FFIEC, which report actual originations. Commercial, HELOC, and consumer volumes are estimates derived from FDIC call report loan mix and branch footprint; they are not reported figures and could vary materially. The 60-day pilot exists to replace these estimates with the bank’s own measured numbers.
Pull-through improvement. The MBA reports roughly 68% industry-wide mortgage application abandonment. We model a 1-5 percentage-point improvement applied to originations (not the larger application pool, which would produce a roughly 3x bigger figure), at the MBA-reported $785 average profit per closed loan. Published case studies report 10-15 point gains; our optimistic case is one-half to one-third of that.
What this is not. These figures are directional estimates built from public data and industry benchmarks. They are not a quote, a guarantee, or an analysis of the bank’s internal workflows, and recovered hours are modeled as redeployed origination capacity rather than headcount reduction. Banks already running highly automated verification will see less; banks running fully manual document collection will see more.
New-resident lead generation. TD Bank research reports roughly 30% of consumers open an account with a new bank after moving (and movers 55+ switch at a higher rate than millennials), while 91% of consumers say digital capability matters in choosing where to bank (MX, 2025) and more than half of online banking applications are abandoned mid-flow (The Financial Brand; Innovatrics). We model a bank with a white-label, fintech-grade intake flow capturing 1.5-9% of new-to-market households as started applications, converting 12-50% of those to funded loans (expected case: ~55% completion times the MBA-reported ~55% depository pull-through). Value per funded loan combines the $785 MBA average profit with $500-1,500 of avoided lead-acquisition spend, the going rate per funded loan from purchased shared and exclusive lead channels. New-household counts are derived from Census county population estimates and are not bank-reported figures. This line is shown separately and is not included in the headline savings number.
