Servicing Transfers at Valon
At Valon, the journey of every loan begins with a servicing transfer. The Servicing Transfers department owns operational processes related to onboarding and off-boarding loans to and from Valon’s platform. We ensure Valon has the necessary data, documents, and funds to service the loan and that all relevant service providers and stakeholders are notified in a timely manner. In addition to Valon team members, we work closely with third-party partners to support our line of work.
