“You can see that customers are uploading documents when it’s convenient to them — this is weekends, this is after our business hours — and when they upload a document, instead of the document sitting there and being picked up hours later, Autopilot’s pre-underwriting agent is reviewing that automatically, determining if that’s the right document. And if not, then conditioning the customer back.”

Whatcom Educational Credit Union (WECU) and Gate City Bank are among the latest lenders partnering with Blend to reimagine lending with agentic AI.

Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE: BLND) today announced that a tenth lender has signed on to Blend Autopilot, its agentic intelligence layer for home lending. The milestone comes six months after Autopilot began working on live loans and three months after becoming commercially available.
