MACON, Ga., Jul 16, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LBA Ware(TM), provider of the leading automated incentive compensation and sales performance management platform for mortgage lenders, announced today that Level One Bank (NASDAQ: LEVL) has chosen CompenSafe(TM) to automate incentive compensation for mortgage loan originators and support staff across the community bank's mortgage loan center and branch locations.
The decision to move from manual, spreadsheet-based commission calculation to a full-featured compensation management platform was spurred in part by the bank's rapid growth. After acquiring several banks and absorbing MB Financial Bank's mortgage division in July 2018, Level One's own mortgage team effectively doubled in size. The increased number and complexity of compensation plans made the calculation of commissions earnings and periodic bonus payouts more time-consuming .
"CompenSafe created significant efficiencies for our payroll department, saving countless hours of manual labor and eliminating the risk of human error," said Level One Bank Executive Vice President, Consumer Banking Officer, Timothy R. Mackay. "Additionally, it has improved compensation transparency with our loan originators who now have the ability to login and view their pipeline and payroll information at any time."
"Before CompenSafe, I spent a full day running commissions every two weeks," said Level One Bank Senior Accountant Christen Inchaustegui. "Now it takes me 10 minutes to pull together my reports. CompenSafe has also made incentive compensation more transparent for loan originators, who can log in and look at their pipeline and payroll snapshot at any time."
"As a community bank that embraces technology and always looks for ways to do things better, Level One Bank saw right away how CompenSafe could improve both routine commissions processes and long-term compensation plan management," said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "We were proud to help Level One manage its growing pains by getting CompenSafe up and running in a matter of just a couple months."
