The client

The client is one of the five largest banks in Colombia by operating income, in a 30-bank system that generated more than COP 426 trillion in operating income in 2025. It serves a broad base of individual and business customers, and home lending is one of its strategic lines.

In mortgage lending, speed wins deals: applicants are usually comparing several offers at once, and every credit review means receiving, validating and safeguarding sensitive personal and financial documents. Moving fast and staying secure have to be the same thing.

The challenge

The bank needed to process a high daily volume of mortgage credit reviews without exposing applicant data and without relying on manual hand-offs between systems. Three challenges stood out:

  • A secure channel to customers: a protected way to send and receive information and documents with applicants.
  • Application integration: connecting that channel to the document management system and to the systems that feed the credit decision.
  • Regulatory compliance: delivering the protection and traceability that financial regulation requires for personal and financial data.

Before and after

The need

Disconnected documents and systems

No dedicated secure channel to exchange information with applicants and no automated link to the document management system.

Today

Automated pre-approval on GoAnywhere

A secure web channel, integrated with document management, that feeds the pre-approval process automatically.

The solution

Redsis implemented Fortra GoAnywhere MFT, Fortra's managed file transfer platform, as the backbone of the pre-approval process. GoAnywhere encrypts, automates and audits file exchanges between people, applications and partners from a centralized console, on premises or in the cloud.

The project brought together three pieces: the GoAnywhere Web Client as a secure, browser-based access point; integration with the bank's document management system, so every document is filed and retained where it belongs; and pre-approval automation, so incoming information kicks off the review workflow with no manual steps.

GoAnywhere capabilities the bank relies on

  • HTTPS Web Client so users exchange files from a browser, with nothing to install.
  • Encryption in transit and at rest to protect personal and financial documents.
  • Automated workflows (Projects) that process, validate and route information to the bank's systems.
  • Application integration with systems such as document management, without point-to-point custom code.
  • Audit logs for every access and transfer, ready for internal control and the regulator.
