SimpleNexus and Unify Integrate to Help Mortgage Lenders Streamline the Loan Process, Reduce Application Abandonment

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus, developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced a two-way integration with Unify's Business Growth Platform(TM) that streamlines the loan application process to improve efficiency and help mortgage lenders reduce application abandonment.

Through the integration, loan applicant information entered into SimpleNexus automatically creates new contact records in Unify, where mortgage professionals can manage customer relationships and deploy automated marketing campaigns. When SimpleNexus detects a loan application abandonment - which occurs when borrowers start, but do not finish their loan applications - Unify is alerted to this abandonment. Unify can then send automated outreach campaigns, which include pre-written emails, call scheduling and appointment setting. This enables loan originators to convert more "drop-offs" into completed loan applications.

The integration also pushes data from Unify to SimpleNexus. With a simple push of a button, Unify contact record information is sent to SimpleNexus to populate a contact's application record. This eliminates the need for mortgage originators to manually enter information in 32 distinct data fields.

"U.S. mortgage volume is on pace to exceed $4 trillion in 2020 for the first time in history. This unprecedented volume is challenging loan originators to find new ways to be more efficient and productive," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen. "By leveraging the combined power of SimpleNexus and Unify, lenders can reduce originators' workloads and keep more business in the pipeline."

"We are pleased to offer clients a tight-knit integration between Unify and SimpleNexus," said Scott Lidberg, President of Unify. "Loan originators are busy, especially in these market conditions, and the automation and efficiencies this integration provides will allow them to manage their days more effectively and grow their businesses."

SimpleNexus Collaboration with Progressive Insurance Brings Home Insurance to Mobile Mortgage App Used by Nearly 3 Million Borrowers

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced the availability of home insurance quotes from Progressive® (NYSE: PGR, https://www.progressive.com/) within the SimpleNexus digital mortgage app.

Home insurance is a requirement for nearly all single-family home purchase and refinance loans. If a borrower fails to provide proof of home insurance in time for the loan closing, the loan cannot be finalized and funded. Such delays are costly to lenders and inconvenient for all parties. SimpleNexus' collaboration with Progressive makes it easy for borrowers to secure a home insurance policy in the same app they use to complete other loan-related tasks. Borrowers can also use Progressive's HomeQuote Explorer(tm) to compare quotes from multiple carriers.

"With SimpleNexus, any mortgage lender can give its customers a cohesive experience from home search to home closing - and now that includes home insurance," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen. "We're delighted to collaborate with a household name like Progressive to make it easy for borrowers to close their loans on time and obtain much-needed peace of mind."

"Working with SimpleNexus, we're excited to offer more choices to millions of U.S. borrowers as they become homeowners or are refinancing their existing loans," said Progressive Business Leader of Direct Property Quoting Tammy Loucks. "A home is likely a person's most valuable asset, and this integration makes it easy to obtain a home insurance policy."

SimpleNexus Extends Ellie Mae Integration with Hybrid eClosings for Mortgage Lenders and Borrowers

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced the availability of its recently launched hybrid eClosing feature on the Ellie Mae(R) Digital Lending Platform.

Ellie Mae, now a part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), is the leading cloud-based loan origination platform provider for the mortgage industry. The Ellie Mae Digital Lending Platform empowers lenders and investors to engage homebuyers and efficiently originate, close, sell and purchase loans that maximize ROI across their business all from a single system of record. The platform delivers a true digital mortgage experience across the entire mortgage workflow for every channel, every loan transaction and every customer type.

"A lender's need for simple, effective eClosing solutions has never been greater," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "SimpleNexus eClosing delights borrowers and turbocharges closing team efficiency, resulting in loans that can be sent off to investors sooner and with fewer errors. By shrinking the gap between loan funding and shipping, lenders can save money by reducing their dwell time on warehouse lines of credit. Additionally, borrowers now have one single portal from home search to home closing."

"We are thrilled to have SimpleNexus join our existing eClosing partners to extend the availability of hybrid eClosing solutions within the Ellie Mae Digital Lending Platform," said Ellie Mae Vice President of Business Development Bob Hart. "This partnership is a key step in expanding our ability to provide our lender customers with easy access to digitally closing loans quickly and safely."

SimpleNexus eClosing enables lenders to conduct hybrid closings for purchase and refinance loans, resulting in higher quality loans and faster delivery of those loans to investors. In a hybrid eClosing, borrowers electronically sign (eSign) home loan documents that do not require notarization before meeting with a settlement agent or notary to finalize the closing. Closing appointments are reduced to only a few minutes, since relatively few documents require in-person signatures.

SimpleNexus Team Members enables mortgage lenders to fine-tune digital mortgage workflows, file permissions at the user level

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today announced the release of SimpleNexus Team Members, a feature that allows lenders to work more efficiently by managing loan file permissions and employee workflows based on assigned user roles.

With the release of Team Members, lenders can assign SimpleNexus users to roles such as loan originator (LO), LO assistant, processor, disclosure desk personnel, closer, post-closer or settlement agent. Lenders may also limit user access to a specific list of loan files or to loans associated with specific collaborators (LOs). Once Team Member settings have been configured, user workflows, notifications and document access are automatically customized based on Team Member assignments.

Team Members features available now include:

* Notifications:
Team Members receive and manage notifications based on collaborator (LO) and loan file assignments.

* Package Tracker:
Team Members can efficiently track disclosure packages and other files within SimpleNexus rather than toggling between SimpleNexus and their loan origination system (LOS).

* Pending Loan Updates:
Users of the Ellie Mae(R) Encompass(R) LOS can see pending actions on their 100 most recent loan assignments, enabling them to quickly identify loans that require action.

* Borrower Task Management:
Team members can track and manage borrower tasks on a loan file to help ensure requirements are met with the fastest turnaround possible.

Future updates to Team Members will integrate the feature with ConnectUs Chat, a messaging feature released in July 2020 that enables real-time loan file collaboration between LOs, borrowers and real estate agents within the SimpleNexus platform.

"Our new Team Members feature improves lender productivity by focusing employees on just the essential tasks that keep loans moving swiftly down the pipeline," said SimpleNexus Senior Product Manager Tyler Prows. "Automated loan progress notifications, milestone tracking and other process-enhancing features will be extended across loan teams through Team Members, helping lenders serve borrowers better from anywhere."

Team Members marks the most recent in a series of SimpleNexus product releases that enhance lenders' ability to collaborate with stakeholders in the loan production process from anywhere. Notably, SimpleNexus Disclosures, introduced last year, allows borrowers to eSign disclosures and lenders to distribute individual closing packages to settlement partners for online retrieval. The August 2020 release of SimpleNexus eClosing enables mortgage closing teams to conduct hybrid closings that minimize the need for physical closing appointments.

SimpleNexus and MobilityRE Enhance Mobile Integration with Push Notifications, More Powerful Home Search Features

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, has enhanced its integration with MobilityRE with new features that improve the home search experience for borrowers and enable lenders and Realtors to respond more swiftly to borrower requests.

Available as an integrated tool within the SimpleNexus digital mortgage app, MobilityRE's white-labeled home search app is designed for Realtors and lenders to share with their clientele. MobilityRE pulls real-time property listings to ensure prospective homebuyers make decisions based on only the most accurate, up-to-date information. Homebuyers can save their favorite properties and set search criteria to identify homes that meet their personal preferences and credit capacity.

Unlike other home search apps, MobilityRE insulates homebuyers from the unwanted solicitation of opportunistic agents and lenders. Instead, a homebuyer's search history is visible only to their preferred Realtor and loan officer (LO), who receive instant, in-app notifications whenever the homebuyer requests a home showing or loan quote. Realtors and LOs are also alerted whenever the asking price of a saved property changes or a new listing hits the market that matches the applicant's search criteria.

"Real-time push notifications allow Realtors and loan officers to proactively assemble loan quotes, schedule home viewings and prepare pre-approval letters, saving customers valuable time in a competitive real estate market and ultimately converting more opportunities into closed loans," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "It's a win for everyone involved."

The enhanced integration also adds a filter to the home search experience that enables users to specify their preference for properties close to nightlife, public transportation and other "lifestyle" features, then view matching neighborhoods on a visual heatmap.

"The integration of MobilityRE and SimpleNexus brings together two award-winning technologies that empower lenders to capitalize on the central role of mobile devices in today's homebuying process," said MobilityRE CEO and Founder Ben Teerlink. "We're pleased to make this combined offering even more powerful with new features that give originators a serious edge when it comes to retaining prospects and closing deals."

Independent, Third-Party Analysis Shows SimpleNexus Digital Mortgage Platform Delivers 9X ROI

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today released key findings from an independent, third-party analysis quantifying mortgage lenders' monetary return on investment (ROI) in SimpleNexus. The findings validate that lenders using SimpleNexus consistently produce more loans and spend less in per-loan operational expenses thanks to the platform's built-in efficiencies.

Methodology

The ROI study was conducted by Jacksonville, Florida-based MarketWise Advisors (MWA), an independent consulting and advisory firm that assists banks, credit unions and independent mortgage companies across North America with system selection, due diligence, data/analytics and benchmarking. MWA developed a survey and analyzed responses from 40 SimpleNexus customers. The sample set had used SimpleNexus for an average of over two years at the time of the study and reported using SimpleNexus for an average of 80.3% of total loan originations.

Key Findings
* Participants reported an average ROI of 9.31, meaning that SimpleNexus' positive impact on lender revenues outweighed the cost of using the platform by more than nine times.
* Lenders reported an average 12.85% increase in inbound leads/referrals as a result of using SimpleNexus tools that help originators build stronger relationships and larger pipelines with referral partners.
* Loan officers' average application conversion rate improved by 13.16% as a result of using SimpleNexus, allowing those loan officers to close an average of 6.32 additional loans per year.
* The additional loan closings created an average of $3,159 per loan officer per year for the organization in additional net income.
* Lenders using SimpleNexus compressed loan processing time by an average of 1.49 days.
* Overall, lenders saved an average of $258.36 per loan in operational costs by spending fewer hours originating and processing mortgage loans thanks to SimpleNexus' ability to keep borrowers, real estate agents and loan originators connected throughout the loan process.

"From day one, SimpleNexus has focused on providing intuitive technology that enhances efficiency, profitability and the borrower experience. Now we can quantify those benefits," said SimpleNexus Co-founder Ben Miller. "In a bold act of transparency, we invited a third-party firm to quantify the ROI leading lenders across the industry have experienced firsthand. Our current customers and prospects deserve to know the value of investing in SimpleNexus."

New SimpleNexus eClosing feature enables mortgage lenders to conduct speedy and convenient hybrid closings of purchase and refinance loans

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced the release of SimpleNexus eClosing, a new feature that enables lenders to conduct hybrid closings for purchase and refinance loans.

In a hybrid closing, borrowers electronically sign (eSign) home loan documents that do not require notarization before meeting with a settlement agent or notary to finalize the closing. As a result, the closing appointment involves signing only a handful of documents and takes only a few minutes instead of an hour or more. Hybrid closings are approved throughout the United States and are available now in SimpleNexus.

Thirty-eight U.S. states also allow full eClosings in which all loan closing documents are eSigned and eNotarized. SimpleNexus will support full eClosings with the planned roll-out of remote online notarization (RON) later this year.

"Hybrid closings enable Mortgage 1 to offer unbeatable safety and convenience by keeping physical closing appointments to a minimum and making loan closings available in the same branded app our customers use to search for a home, fill out a loan application, upload documents and sign disclosures," said Mark Workens, CEO of Mortgage 1, a Michigan-based multi-state lender and early adopter of SimpleNexus eClosing. "We jumped at the opportunity to pilot this new SimpleNexus feature, and we are already closing loans faster and knocking the socks off of customers."

"Borrowers want a hassle-free way to close a home loan that works in or out of quarantine, and lenders want to keep costs in check by closing loans as quickly as possible," said SimpleNexus Senior Product Manager Tyler Prows. "SimpleNexus eClosing delivers on both fronts. Our direct LOS integrations, push notifications and instant chat keep borrowers, settlement agents, closing teams and post-closers engaged at every step for optimal workflow efficiency."

Arvest Bank to roll out SimpleNexus mobile-first mortgage platform

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced that more than 200 retail loan officers at Arvest Bank (Arvest) will soon begin offering borrowers and referral partners a more streamlined mortgage experience powered by SimpleNexus.

Arvest operates more than 270 branches in four states and holds over $20 billion in total assets. Wholly owned subsidiary Arvest Central Mortgage Company (CMC) is a licensed lender and mortgage servicer serving customers in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Arvest services a total of $71 billion between Arvest Bank and CMC.

"After handling unprecedented refinance volume and setting new records for purchase transactions for two years running, we knew we needed a world-class technology partner who could tune our mortgage division to work as efficiently as possible," said Matt Kendall, executive director of administrative operations for Arvest Central Mortgage Company. "At the same time, delighting customers with a positive mortgage transaction is priority number one. SimpleNexus was the clear choice with its simple, cohesive, omni-channel experience that lets loan officers focus on delivering personalized service instead of chasing tasks."

SimpleNexus' full-featured mortgage origination toolset is built with mobile in mind but works from any device. For instance, borrowers can start a loan application on a desktop computer and finish it on a mobile phone, and loan officers can order credit reports, run pricing, send pre-approvals and sign disclosures from the field using a mobile device. The platform unites loan officers, borrowers and referral partners throughout the loan life cycle for easy communication, efficient document exchange and transparent milestone updates.

Because Arvest services the majority of the loans it originates, maximizing portfolio retention is an important part of the company's financial risk management strategy. SimpleNexus helps keep customer relationships "sticky" by delivering a memorably simple mortgage experience through a branded app that stays on consumers' phones long after the loan closing. When the borrower is ready for a refinance or new purchase loan, SimpleNexus makes it easy to get back in touch with the loan officer and real estate agent from their last transaction.

"Regional banks are finding their mortgage divisions perform best when powered by technologies purpose-built for making loan teams more productive and the customer experience less burdensome," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen. "SimpleNexus understands that a stellar customer experience doesn't have to come at the cost of operational efficiency. We're delighted to work with Arvest Bank to create strikingly simple mortgage transactions that will keep customers coming back."

SimpleNexus launches ConnectUs Chat to facilitate real-time loan file collaboration between loan teams, borrowers and real estate agents

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced the release of SimpleNexus ConnectUs Chat, a messaging feature that enables real-time loan file collaboration between loan originators (LOs), borrowers and real estate agents within the SimpleNexus platform.

SimpleNexus ConnectUs Chat centralizes loan file communication, making it easy for LOs and borrowers to reference past conversations and collaboratively advance loan progress in real time using the SimpleNexus mobile app or desktop experience. This direct communication channel lets borrowers receive support in the same place they sign forms and submit documentation for their loan. Vital borrower conversations are automatically logged in the SimpleNexus app, eliminating the need for LOs to consolidate communications from various personal and business communication channels.

SimpleNexus plans to enhance ConnectUs Chat with the introduction of two additional features later this year. The Team Members feature will connect extended loan teams to ConnectUs Chat, improving borrower access to support and facilitating internal loan team communication. Another update will allow parties to communicate "in context" by integrating loan file screenshots into the chat window.

"ConnectUs Chat boosts lender productivity by bringing loan tasks and borrower communication together in one place without detracting from the high-touch, 'from anywhere' loan experience consumers expect," said SimpleNexus Senior Product Manager Tyler Prows. "Our customers' enthusiastic response to ConnectUs Chat is a testament to the SimpleNexus product team's focus on developing innovative features that meet the needs of the market."

ConnectUs Chat marks the most recent in a series of SimpleNexus product releases that enhance lenders' ability to collaborate with stakeholders in the loan production process from anywhere. Notably, SimpleNexus Disclosures, introduced last year, allows borrowers to eSign disclosures and lenders to distribute individual closing packages to settlement partners for online retrieval. The May 2020 release of SimpleNexus Closing Portal enables mortgage closing teams to conduct hybrid closings that minimize the need for physical closing appointments.

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced significant enhancements to its integration with Optimal Blue, the leading provider of secondary marketing solutions and data services in the mortgage industry. The combined solution is the industry's first to enable loan originators to lock loan pricing from a mobile device.

Now, mutual customers of SimpleNexus and Optimal Blue can run pricing scenarios and request rate locks directly from the SimpleNexus mobile or web application. Two-way data integration between SimpleNexus, Optimal Blue and the lender's loan origination system streamlines the lock request process to minimize manual data entry, advancing loan originators straight to the results page whenever possible.

Optimal Blue has seen record-setting system volume every month since February 2020, with clients using its enterprise product eligibility and pricing engine to lock well over $1 trillion in mortgage volume in the last 12 months alone.

"To handle today's unprecedented level of activity, lenders need to leverage integrations that create efficiencies and make rate locking processes more scalable and effective" explained Optimal Blue Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances Bob Brandt.

SimpleNexus and Mortgage Coach expand integration with real-time data syncing for instant analysis of lifetime loan costs

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, has expanded its integration with Mortgage Coach (https://www.mortgagecoach.com), making it easier than ever for loan originators to give borrowers the clear, accurate comparison of loan products and scenarios needed to make informed mortgage decisions.

With the integration of SimpleNexus and the Mortgage Coach Total Cost Analysis (TCA), every borrower who applies for a mortgage loan using the SimpleNexus digital mortgage app immediately receives a TCA. A recent update to the integration enhances the borrower experience by updating key loan information in real time and enabling loan professionals to incorporate video narration into TCAs from within the SimpleNexus app. As applicants progress through the origination process, the accurate analysis adjusts instantly, allowing loan professionals to provide clear advice faster and measurably convert more leads into loans.

Loan originators at Strongsville, Ohio-based Union Home Mortgage have seen faster commitments and more complete loan applications with the combined solution, having delivered 20,000 personalized Mortgage Coach TCA presentations in the last 90 days alone with the new automation.

"Originators need to give people options, but creating manual comparisons for every loan applicant is impractical," said Union Home CIO Mark Langhans. "We love the way Mortgage Coach frames up cost analysis in an easy-to-consume format that originators can walk borrowers through in minutes - and the integration with SimpleNexus makes it even easier for us to leverage this powerful strategy. Even more telling than the number of presentations delivered is the number of borrower views and shares those TCAs have received."

"What's special about this integration is that it starts a conversation that frequently brings a close to the borrower's rate shopping," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "It's all about building trust, re-engaging and ultimately converting customers who have started a loan application but might not otherwise finish it."

"Lenders serve borrowers best - and simultaneously enjoy the highest profitability - when they put a wide array of loan products, services and scenarios in front of every applicable customer," explained Mortgage Coach President Joe Puthur. "The Mortgage Coach Total Cost Analysis helps lenders make financing available to more borrowers while addressing key compliance concerns, reducing pricing exceptions and closing more deals - all with the personalized touch that is critical to brand consistency."

The new innovation, announced today, makes easy-to-understand loan comparisons available for every borrower. Together, Mortgage Coach and SimpleNexus help loan originators position themselves as trusted financial advisors in any client situation. For example, the dynamic TCA helps borrowers understand the impacts of renting versus owning, buying now versus waiting or adjusting the size of their down payment. The now fully integrated experience supports any mortgage scenario, resulting in faster borrower conversion, increased production and enhanced profitability.

SimpleNexus Platform Enhancement Enables Lenders and Borrowers to Manage Multiple Borrower Loans Through SimpleNexus’ User-Friendly Interface

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced a platform enhancement that merges management of multiple loans with the same applicant into one user-friendly interface. The new "multi-loan" functionality improves the loan experience for loan originators (LOs) and borrowers, enabling both parties to start, submit and access multiple loan applications via web browser or mobile app experience.

SimpleNexus' multi-loan feature makes it easy for borrowers to navigate between multiple loans and applications, sign individual loan eConsent and disclosures forms, upload documents and complete tasks associated with each loan file. To further streamline the borrower experience, LOs can customize the borrower task list and requested documents for each loan; request eConsent, asset verification or credit authorization on a per-loan basis; and move or copy documents between different loans for the borrower.

Multi-loan streamlines loan management for LOs by automatically linking all loan applications associated with the same borrower. LOs will not need to remove old loans from the system, and additional user accounts and email addresses will not be required to manage multiple loan applications.

"SimpleNexus' multi-loan enhancement makes it easy to maneuver between and complete tasks associated with multiple borrower loans," said SimpleNexus VP of Product Shane Westra. "Whether a borrower is simultaneously purchasing multiple properties or a repeat customer is returning for a new purchase or a refi, multi-loan provides borrowers with the modern, intuitive experience they expect from the organizations that finance their homes."

More than fifty percent of SimpleNexus customers have opted-in for early access to multi-loan. An August 3, 2020, system update will turn on multi-loan for all SimpleNexus customers. Customers who wish to use the multi-loan feature sooner can contact their customer success manager.

SimpleNexus advances initial release of Closing Portal to help lenders meet urgent consumer demand for mobile mortgage closing solutions

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced the release of the SimpleNexus Closing Portal, a new feature that enables lenders to securely collaborate with settlement service providers for streamlined closing package delivery and will pave the way for hybrid mortgage closings.

With SimpleNexus Disclosures, introduced last year, lenders can distribute individual closing packages to settlement partners for online retrieval. The new SimpleNexus Closing Portal gives settlement service providers access to all their SimpleNexus closing packages in a personal dashboard secured with multi-factor authentication. While both solutions offer push notifications and real-time tracking that integrates seamlessly with the lender's loan origination system, only the SimpleNexus Closing Portal will enable mortgage closing teams to conduct hybrid closings that keep physical closing appointments to a minimum.

In a hybrid closing, borrowers electronically sign (eSign) home loan documents that do not require notarization before meeting with a settlement agent or notary to finalize the closing. As a result, the closing appointment involves signing only a handful of documents and takes only a few minutes instead of an hour or more.

"Consumer demand for options that minimize how much of the mortgage transaction is done face-to-face has never been greater. To help lenders meet that demand, we have advanced the initial release of our highly anticipated SimpleNexus Closing Portal," said SimpleNexus Senior Product Manager Tyler Prows. "With today's release, lenders can prepare to fulfill hybrid closings within the SimpleNexus experience borrowers and originators know and love."

Additional features, including document markup and real-time chat between mortgage closing teams and settlement service providers, will be made available in a future release of the SimpleNexus Closing Portal.

Since the February 2019 introduction of SimpleNexus Disclosures, more and more lenders have come to rely on SimpleNexus to deliver digital mortgage disclosures that borrowers and loan originators can eSign via mobile app or web dashboard. In April 2020 alone, SimpleNexus delivered more than 114,000 digital disclosures packages, and that figure continues to grow as borrowers and lenders embrace mobile mortgage solutions.

LendUS delivers on promise of smart advice, an easy process and super speed with SimpleNexus digital mortgage platform

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, announced that 90% of loan officers at LendUS now use SimpleNexus to collaborate on loan applications with borrowers and referral partners. LendUS is one of the nation's top 25 lenders, producing north of $5B annually in loan volume.

According to LendUS EVP of Client Services Erin Hamilton, SimpleNexus' ability to bring all loan parties together in one app was a major factor in its successful rollout across nearly 800 employees at 91 branches.

"SimpleNexus corrals the whole process in a single system, helping us deliver on our promise of providing customers with smart advice, an easy process and super speed."

SimpleNexus' disclosure toolset enables borrowers and loan officers to securely review and eSign documents inside the SimpleNexus app, with no additional login and without disruption to the lender's existing disclosure desk processes.

The LendUS team has also benefited from SimpleNexus' ability to create opportunities for loan officers to forge and maintain partner relationships.

"Our loan advisors appreciate the additional communication that SimpleNexus provides to their Realtor partners," explained Hamilton, adding that SimpleNexus' speedy, mobile-driven application process and real-time status updates have helped LendUS become the lender of choice for real estate agents that previously worked with competitors.

"Loan milestone updates keep referral partners in the loop throughout the entire loan process, enabling the referral partner and loan originator to guide the borrower as a team," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "At the same time, the app is so easy-to-use and self-contained that borrowers can feel confident uploading documents and even signing disclosures with little or no handholding."

SimpleNexus Unveils Sweeping Product Enhancements Aimed at Boosting Mortgage Lender Productivity

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced the immediate availability of new capabilities designed to enhance mortgage originator productivity.

The product enhancements, unveiled earlier this month from the stage of SimpleNexus' annual user conference in Snowbird, Utah, include the following additions to SimpleNexus' mobile and web applications:

* On-the-Go Price Locking via Optimal Blue
Loan originators can now lock in an interest rate from Optimal Blue at any time, from any device. The ability to quickly lock in a loan interest rate is especially critical to helping loan originators reduce fallout for applicants with tight debt-to-income ratios.

* URLA Readiness
SimpleNexus has updated its tech stack to support lenders' use of the redesigned Form 1003, also known as the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA). URLA support is in live production for users of select loan origination systems, and the SimpleNexus team is prepared to support additional LOSs as they adopt URLA.

* In-app review of DU findings
Loan originators who are licensed to use Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) can review their DU findings within the SimpleNexus app.

According to SimpleNexus VP of Product Shane Westra, these and other new features entered live production with SimpleNexus' February 10 product release. Westra also shared the company's plans to release half a dozen additional product enhancements in 2020.

"At SimpleNexus, product development begins with listening to the needs of our users," said SimpleNexus VP of Product Shane Westra. "The response to these new capabilities, designed to help lenders work with ease no matter where they are, has been tremendously positive. Our product roadmap for 2020 will continue to focus on solutions that drive profitability and deliver a consumer-grade experience to all users."

Just last month, SimpleNexus added a dynamic task list feature, which allows lenders to set rules for configuring the documents requested from borrowers ("needs list") on the fly based on borrower responses to loan application questions. For instance, if a borrower is self-employed, the task list will automatically adjust to collect the additional documentation required from self-employed borrowers.

GreenState Credit Union Drives First-Lien Mortgage Production with the Help of SimpleNexus

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, announced that loan officers (LO) at GreenState Credit Union (GreenState) are using the SimpleNexus digital mortgage app to achieve record first mortgage production. In 2019, GreenState's 26 LOs produced more than 7,600 first-lien mortgage units, exceeding the lender's previous best by 1,600 units despite having fewer support staff on payroll.

GreenState adopted SimpleNexus in 2018 to streamline the lending process and improve its online lending functionality. Now the lender receives 63 percent of all mortgage applications through the SimpleNexus platform, amounting to more than 10,000 applications per year.

In addition to enabling GreenState to collect more loan applications, SimpleNexus has also helped the lender move those applications forward more quickly. Once borrowers complete an application, SimpleNexus prompts them to upload and submit verification documents right from their mobile phone or other web-enabled device. Similarly, LOs can review applications, order credit reports and send pre-approval letters from their preferred device, even if they're not in the office.

"I was a loan officer for 15 years, so every time I look at technology, I do it from the perspective of what we would need if I was still lending," said Ryan Doehrmann, vice president of mortgage lending at GreenState. "When we saw that our LOs could pull up an application, pull credit and send a pre-approval letter from a phone or tablet, we were sold. That kind of agility is a huge advantage - especially if your competition doesn't have it."

"SimpleNexus prides itself in building a product that helps our customers achieve measurable ROI while improving their teams' quality of life," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen.

"We have enjoyed partnering with GreenState Credit Union to bring its loan officers a more agile way to review loan applications and guide borrowers to close."

About GreenState Credit Union:

GreenState Credit Union, formerly known as University of Iowa Community Credit Union, is a member-owned financial cooperative with 19 office locations. Since 1938, GreenState Credit Union has grown to become the largest credit union in Iowa, with almost $6 billion in assets and 205,000 members. GreenState Credit Union's "members first" philosophy has enabled it to be consistently ranked in the top 1% nationally for Return to Member.
