Better Mortgage Becomes One of the First Companies to Utilize the New Samsung Rewards API
Better Mortgage, a digital mortgage company trying to improve access to
home financing through transparency, honest guidance and zero
commissions, today announced that they will be one of the first
third-parties to take advantage of Samsung (News - Alert) Reward's new API.
Samsung Rewards works just like a points-based airlines rewards program.
Users are rewarded for meaningful engagements with their Samsung device
- such as using Samsung Pay at checkout, using Bixby or signing up for
features within Samsung Health -- through earning Samsung Rewards
points. Now, with Samsung Rewards' new API, Samsung and Better customers
alike will get rewarded when they get pre-approved for a mortgage, lock
in a rate or fund a transaction.
"Samsung and Better are both committed to using technology to improve
people's lives, which at its core, means removing friction from the
process. At Better, we've made it possible to get pre-approved for a
mortgage in as little as three to five minutes without the hassle of
cold calls or bait-and-switch pricing," says Better's CEO Vishal Garg.
"By integrating with Samsung Reward's API, we're able to provide an even
better customer experience to a new audience who wants to do everything
from paying for coffee to buying a home right from their phone."
-
Better Mortgage will be a featured partner in Samsung services.
-
Samsung Rewards customers will be able to navigate to Better.com from
Samsung services to earn points when they hit three milestones
throughout the mortgage or refinancing process: (1) getting
pre-approved, (2) locking in a rate, or (3) funding the transaction.
-
Using the Samsung Rewards API, Better Mortgage can securely confirm
that a customer has achieved these milestones.
-
Samsung Rewards customers can use these points to redeem items such as
Samsung products, gift cards, entries into Instant Win oppotunities,
or even redeem for a Samsung Rewards card.
"Our new Samsung Rewards API is really important to bring innovative
developers such as Better Mortgage into the Samsung ecosystem and
provide greater value to our customers. And now, Samsung customers can
be rewarded with Rewards points as part of their online home buying
journey," said Nana Murugesan, Vice President and General Manager,
Services and New Business at Samsung Electronics America.
