"We provide our clients with a measurable edge in quality of service, caliber of technology, capacity to serve borrowers, and management of large volumes of information - as well as an improved ability to control costs. We are committed to collaborating with lenders, not competing with them, and we are very enthusiastic about delivering best-in-class service for KeyBank."
