About MCAP

MCAP is one of Canada’s largest non-bank mortgage lenders, operating multiple brands including MCAP Prime, MCAP Eclipse, RMG Mortgages, RMG-Eclipse, and MERIX/NPX.


Originations flow through the broker channel, but MCAP also manages a high-volume internal agent team focused on refinance, renewal, and retention. With 35 internal agents supporting 15+ brands, MCAP requires strong operational efficiency to scale effectively.

The why
MCAP’s goal was to modernize how it serves existing customers with faster responses, better file quality, and a smoother experience from application to funding.

Because MCAP is not a direct-to-consumer lender, success depends on:

  • Reducing time-to-contact
  • Increasing retention and renewal conversion
  • Improving operational speed and consistency
  • Delivering accurate, underwriting-ready data
  • Maintaining strong customer satisfaction

Finmo offered a modern, scalable platform designed for lenders operating across multiple brands and internal teams.
“Operational efficiency is in our DNA. If there’s a way to redesign a process and save time, we look at it.”
David Romanin, VP Underwriting, MCAP
The challenge

Time-bound interviews limited throughput
Internal agents spent 45–60 minutes per application call. Missed appointments reduced capacity.


3–6 week backlogs impacted retention
Borrowers often waited weeks for an interview slot, risking renewal drop-off.

 

Limited visibility across brokers and brands
Managing 35 agents across 15+ brands required navigating inboxes and spreadsheets. 


Underwriters received inconsistent files
Borrowers often entered inaccurate income, employer, or address details. Underwriters spent time correcting information. 


Volume grew without staffing flexibility
MCAP needed to scale operations without expanding its salaried team. 

The solution

Finmo became MCAP’s primary intake and processing platform for all port and refinance business handled internally.

Asynchronous digital intake


Borrowers complete applications on their own time in 15 minutes, rather than waiting for a 60-minute phone appointment.

 

 

Elimination of intake bottlenecks


Weeks of scheduled intake calls are now replaced with 40–100 completed applications ready to work at the start of each day.

 

Centralized team visibility


Finmo gives MCAP a unified view of every active file and agent workload. Now anyone can step in, answer questions, and keep files moving when agents are away.

 

 

 

Secure document collection

 

Borrowers upload documents through a secure Finmo portal. Agents review and approve them in one place, eliminating the risks of email, fax, or shared folders.

 

 

Cleaner underwriting-ready data


Finmo standardizes income, employment, property, and address fields so underwriters receive consistent, accurate information. This reduces manual corrections and speeds up commitments.

The results
Funded volume doubled with the same team

MCAP increased funded deals by 108% after implementing Finmo.

 

Agent capacity doubled

Daily agent throughput increased from five applications to more than ten per day.

 

Processing time reduced by 75%

Application intake time dropped from sixty minutes to just fifteen minutes.

 

Backlogs eliminated

Self-serve digital intake replaced the three-to-six week wait for appointments.

 

Cleaner files for underwriting

Higher-quality data now leads to fewer revisions and faster commitments.

 

Improved customer satisfaction

Centralized communication supports faster processing and quicker commitments.

 

Lower operational cost per funded deal

Scaling without new hires creates direct labour-cost savings for MCAP.
