Summary

We spoke to Pre-Eligibility's Dalip Sethi about building an online home loan self-assessment tool for both customers and service providers. When the Pre-Eligibility team was looking for a developer to actualize the concept, they found Bubble, which instills in them confidence and pride of being able to build a web app on their own from ground zero. The platform allows customers to check their loan eligibility instantly without approaching a bank or financial institution, while also facilitating connections between customers and service providers such as experts, agents, and brokers. Customers can sign up by providing demographic and self-declared financing information, run simulations with real-time calculations, search for service providers, and see the results. Service providers can sign up to view prospective customer eligibility details, send offers and interests, perform instant calculations, and send customized proposals. The team discovered no-code tools like Bubble through a bootcamp and mentoring support, which has paid off as they built their app on this platform due to its features, good support, and confidence-building experience. So far, they have launched the beta version in July 2020 with positive feedback from customers and partners, successfully onboarded partners, and onboarded over 100 customers. Their future plans include adding new features for both customers and partners to ensure a great user experience. The app is an example of how no-code tools like Bubble can be used to build fully customizable web applications and workflows.
