TORONTO, March 26, 2019 /CNW/ - Scotiabank has launched a unique digital mortgage experience, called Scotiabank eHOME, that modernizes how Canadians can get a mortgage.

With Scotiabank eHOME, Canadians can apply for a mortgage completely online, track the application status through real-time updates, and complete the closing with a lawyer without requiring an in-person appointment with a mortgage specialist or financial advisor. Supporting documents are easily uploaded to a secure vault and, if needed, a dedicated team of specialists is a phone call away.

"This is a huge milestone in driving forward Scotiabank's digital transformation strategy," said James O'Sullivan, Group Head, Canadian Banking.  "We are committed to investing in technology that delivers thoughtful solutions for our customers."

"We've built Scotiabank eHOME with a laser-focus on what our customers said they want in an ideal mortgage experience," says Janet Boyle, Senior Vice President, Real Estate Secured Lending. "It's simplicity, security, transparency in the process, and the ultimate convenience to apply anytime, anywhere, on any device. It's truly your mortgage on your time."
