ING and Interhyp Launch 'Instant‑Baufi' for Minutes‑Fast Mortgage Decisions

The early phase targets about 15–20% of Interhyp submissions, with final approval kept by a human underwriter.

Overview

  • Instant‑Baufi is live in Germany and can return a binding financing statement in as little as 30 minutes, according to ING.
  • The system builds a digital twin of the property from official and public data to standardize details like living area, plot size and year built.
  • A one‑time digital account view, used with customer consent, checks income and available equity and replaces many traditional proofs.
  • Paperwork drops sharply, as customers typically skip payslips, floor plans and cadastral maps, with only the energy certificate still required.
  • The rollout begins on a limited basis at roughly 15–20% of Interhyp cases, and an adviser and a human credit officer still handle the final steps.
