Chief Revenue Officer Sean Dugan to assume CEO role, current CEO Rich Gagliano to serve as executive chairman

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced that Sean Dugan, the company’s chief revenue officer, will succeed Rich Gagliano as CEO effective April 2025. Gagliano, who launched Dark Matter in 2023 following over a decade of leadership at its predecessor, Black Knight Origination Technologies, will step into the role of executive chairman.

For nearly 14 years, Gagliano has led the charge to transform mortgage origination with advanced automation and AI/ML solutions. More recently, Gagliano has helped Dark Matter find its footing as an independent company combining the agility of a startup with the pedigree of a mature and experienced provider. Gagliano’s vision for Dark Matter and the team he has assembled to execute on that vision have earned the confidence of banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders nationwide.

“I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Dark Matter, and I am confident the company’s best days are ahead,” said Gagliano. “After years of working with Sean, I have absolute confidence in his leadership and in his team’s readiness to execute on the strategy we’ve developed together. I look forward to supporting Sean and our clients as I transition to executive chairman, knowing that Dark Matter is in the most capable of hands.”

Gagliano’s decision to step down as CEO is part of a broader plan to spend more time with family, though he will remain actively involved as executive chairman to support Dugan, the team and clients during the transition.

Dugan brings over 25 years of mortgage industry expertise, including 14 years alongside Gagliano at Dark Matter and its predecessor. Known for his client-focused approach, Dugan has played a pivotal role in shaping Dark Matter’s customer-centric culture and product offerings. As CEO, he will lead the company into its next chapter, focusing on delivering solutions that enhance operational efficiency for lenders.

“Our clients are at the heart of everything we do,” said Dugan. “This transition represents an opportunity to double down on our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable our clients to succeed in a challenging market. I’m honored by the trust Rich and Constellation Software’s leadership has placed in me, and I look forward to leading Dark Matter’s talented team in fulfilling our vision for the future of mortgage technology.”

This planned transition reinforces Dark Matter’s commitment to client success by ensuring continuity, stability and uninterrupted progress toward the company’s strategic roadmap and long-term goals.

Digital Mortgage Platform Maxwell Ranks #154 on 2021 Inc. 5000 List

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Inc. magazine today revealed that Maxwell ranks in the top 3% of its annual Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies at number 154. Maxwell was also named the 15th fastest-growing software company in the country. The prestigious Inc. 5000 list takes a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment-its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Maxwell uses technology to streamline and accelerate the mortgage process for lenders serving America's communities and their borrowers. Its AI automation, built on aggregated loan data from its network and real-time data insights, offloads manual tasks for lending teams, helping them focus on high-value work. To date, Maxwell has facilitated over $130 billion in loan volume, closing loans on its platform 45% faster than the national average.

In the past few years, Maxwell has scaled from a point of sale to an increasingly all-inclusive solution for small to midsize lenders. As a part of that journey, Maxwell released its Fulfillment Platform, a benefit for customers that offers tech-enabled onshore processing, underwriting, and closing talent, in May of 2020. Most recently, the company introduced Maxwell Diligence, providing quality control and due diligence solutions. As Maxwell's product offerings expanded and customer demand skyrocketed, the Maxwell employee base grew by more than 14x over the last three years.

"We're thrilled and honored to be included on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list. Our team has worked tirelessly over recent years to add value to lenders serving communities across the country," said Maxwell co-founder and CEO John Paasonen. "No one could have predicted the unique market in 2020. In last year's rapidly changing mortgage market, we were able to deliver products and solutions that helped lenders support their borrowers through an unprecedented time."

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

Although Promontory MortgagePath provides both the technology - including a POS and LOS - and back-office operational support, such as processors, underwriters and closers, community banks require to profitably grow their businesses, all loans are issued in the bank's name, and the bank retains control over the product mix and pricing, ensuring mortgage operations remain in line with the bank's overall risk appetite and growth plans.

"Our solution amplifies a core strength of community banks - outstanding customer service - by adding a digital platform and comprehensive fulfillment services," said Paul Katz, managing director and head of bank relations at Promontory MortgagePath.

This includes acceptance of the new URLA 3.4 compliant loan application. This connectivity is critical in Maxwell's commitment to a relationship-focused mortgage experience, allowing the lending team to spend more time providing vital expertise to the borrower and performing value-add activities rather than working on lower-impact tasks.

"We're thrilled to unveil our partnership with Byte," said Maxwell Co-founder and CEO John Paasonen. "This key integration with Byte's LOS as the system-of-record with Maxwell's impactful point-of-sale platform will allow us to improve borrower experience, empower more lenders to save time, streamline processes, and increase productivity with our mutual customers."

Maxwell's robust integrations and partnerships enable lenders to accelerate the mortgage lending process from application to underwriting so loan officers can focus on the human relationship at the center of the mortgage journey. Today, hundreds of lenders across the U.S. use Maxwell to originate nearly $6 billion in mortgage loans each month at a closing rate 45 percent faster than the national average.

SimpleNexus Secures $108M in Series B Funding to Transform the Homeownership Journey into a Seamlessly Connected Experience

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading homeownership platform connecting loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, has received a follow-on investment of $108 million in Series B funding led by global venture-capital and private-equity firm Insight Partners.

Founded in 2011, SimpleNexus is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in North America. Company President Cathleen Schreiner Gates credits 2020's four consecutive quarters of record-setting revenue growth to rapid, enthusiastic adoption of SimpleNexus' solutions by banks, credit unions and independent mortgage lenders across the United States. The capital infusion from Insight Partners will help SimpleNexus maintain this growth trajectory as it continues to transform the mortgage industry by seamlessly connecting the homeownership journey.

"SimpleNexus is systematically tearing down the technology barriers that gave the mortgage process a reputation for being disjointed, arduous and slow," said Schreiner Gates. "First, we created a best-in-class mobile toolset that delivers hundreds of thousands of lender referrals each year by bringing together consumers, real estate agents and loan officers from the point of thought. Then we perfected the loan application with features like our mobile mortgage disclosures, which empowers borrowers to finish in hours a task that normally takes days. With the support of Insight Partners, we will build on the momentum we received from bringing to market the best eClosing experience lenders and consumers have ever seen. Our vision is to hone the entire home buying journey from the borrower's first contact with a Realtor to the closing table and beyond."

The $108 million capital raise follows Insight Partners' initial investment of $20 million in SimpleNexus and underscores the firm's continued confidence in the Utah-based tech firm. Insight Partners has invested in more than 400 investments and has supported more than 50 software ScaleUps in the real estate and fintech verticals alone.

"SimpleNexus' innovative solutions continue to change the mortgage industry in exciting ways," said Jeff Lieberman, Managing Director at Insight Partners. "CEO Matt Hansen and the SimpleNexus team are executing at a remarkable pace on their long-term vision of streamlining the path to homeownership. The SimpleNexus platform continues to strengthen, addressing key industry pain points while preserving lender flexibility, efficiency and simplicity. We are thrilled to support the company's continued growth and excited by the partnerships they are creating to deliver a seamless homeownership journey."

SimpleNexus announced one such strategic partnership in November, a collaboration with Progressive® (NYSE: PGR) that makes it easy for borrowers to secure a home insurance policy in the same app they use to complete other loan-related tasks.

SimpleNexus' award-winning homeownership platform plays a role in 13% of all home loans originated in the U.S. SimpleNexus serves a user base of more than 29,000 loan originators and 123,000 real estate agents and more than 3 million borrowers.

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."

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 been recognized as a 2020 Best Company to Work For by Utah Business magazine. SimpleNexus earned recognition as one of the top employers in the state on the basis of employee evaluations. The company will be honored along with other winners during an awards luncheon at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City on December 8.

Utah Business magazine's rigorous vetting process examined key factors of the SimpleNexus work environment, including flexibility, pay equity, vacation time and quality of management. SimpleNexus' unique culture and HIVE (hungry, innovative, vibrant and empathetic) core values were praised by employees for emphasizing collaboration and delivering value for clients.

This recognition follows SimpleNexus' recent inclusion on two independent rankings of Utah's fastest-growing companies, Utah Valley Business Q Magazine's UV50 and MountainWest Capital's Utah 100.

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."

Maxwell adds underwriting and closing services to fulfillment platform

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Digital mortgage platform Maxwell today announced it has added underwriting and closing services to the Maxwell Fulfillment Platform, enhancing the company's comprehensive suite of technology and outsourced services for small and midsize lenders.

As with its processing solution, Maxwell's underwriting and closing solutions are accessible through the Maxwell Fulfillment Platform on a white-label basis, with all outsourced personnel functioning as an integrated part of the lender's operations team. Because the underwriters leverage Maxwell's uniquely high-quality data gathered on the front end, the underwriting process is faster, which results in an improved borrower and lender experience.

Lenders can add team members as needed to accommodate the ebbs and flows of market dynamics while maintaining full ownership of customer data and delivering a fully branded, streamlined loan experience to borrowers.

Today's unpredictable, high volume market creates a potentially costly challenge for small and midsize lenders, which struggle to scale and accommodate wildly fluctuating volume. The primary challenge they face is meeting output demands.

"Few, if any, small and midsize lenders can sustain, the right balance of skilled labor," said Brian Simons, president of Maxwell, "enough to handle demand, but not so many that you sacrifice margin, and all who are skilled and experienced individuals."

The Maxwell Fulfillment Platform is a complete technology and outsourced solution solves this issue. It enables small and midsize lenders to maintain the precise level of skilled U.S. personnel needed, regardless of market fluctuations, all at a price that rivals off-shore solutions. The platform's team of seasoned processors have an average of 15 years of experience and all are located in the U.S.

"Our lender clients constantly tell us they want Maxwell to provide end-to-end fulfillment services, because they know they'll get technology and service that far exceeds any solution they've tried in the mortgage space," said Simons. "After launching our fulfillment platform with processing services to rave reviews in May, this was a natural progression. We're looking forward to growing our family of solutions, which are redefining the mortgage process and experience for borrowers, lenders and settlement service providers."

"Lenders are in a 'pig in a python' situation right now, so it's not surprising that the demand for embedded fulfillment solutions is high," says John Paasonen, CEO and co-founder of Maxwell. "Beyond that, the needs of small to midsize lenders have not traditionally been served by technology partners. We are on a mission to help small and midsized lenders grow wildly successful businesses."

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.

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."

Enhanced integration between SimpleNexus and Top of Mind’s SurefireCRM helps mortgage lenders curb abandoned applications, build books of business

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, has added two-way data sync to its integration with digital mortgage app SimpleNexus. The enhanced integration enables mortgage lenders to automate marketing efforts during the pre-application phase, reducing the number of abandoned applications and capturing lead information for future marketing purposes.

"Mortgage lenders don't always have a good system in place for following up with early-stage loan applicants. That's because marketing automation efforts often rely on contact records that aren't created until the loan application is 100% complete," explained Top of Mind EVP of Strategic Partnerships and Industry Relationships Jonas Kruckeberg. "Top of Mind's integration with SimpleNexus solves that problem by pushing contact details to SurefireCRM as soon as the application is begun, enabling mortgage lenders to deploy marketing communications during the pre-application phase."

For instance, originators can use the integration to set up workflows that automate follow-up with borrowers who begin, but do not complete, a mortgage application. According to Kruckeberg, sometimes that extra communication is all that's needed to push a loan application across the finish line. Even if the borrower never finishes the application, data sharing between SimpleNexus and Top of Mind ensures mortgage loan officers can follow up down the road with rate opportunity alerts and other timely outreach. And with the latest updates to the integration, data flows both ways; with the push of a button, loan officers can fetch new or updated contacts from SurefireCRM and import them into SimpleNexus.

"Staying connected with borrowers-whether they are buying today or a few years down the road-is essential to increasing conversions and giving those customers the best experience around," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "With integration and two-way sync with Top of Mind's SureﬁreCRM, SimpleNexus helps loan officers win the business when the time is right."

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks (https://www.topofmind.com) started as a bootstrapped direct-mail marketing company. Today, the company is recognized as the mortgage industry's most-relied-upon provider of marketing automation and creative content solutions. From individuals to enterprise lenders, Top of Mind's SurefireCRM helps thousands of mortgage professionals win new business, earn repeat business and deserve referral business. With intuitive, "set it and forget it" workflows and award-winning content, mortgage professionals are able to effortlessly maintain and deepen their emotional connections with clients.

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.

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.

In 2019, SimpleNexus significantly bolstered features designed to enhance lender productivity, facilitate referral partnership development and drive cross-platform functionality. In March, SimpleNexus announced an enhanced disclosures toolset that expedites the disclosure process by days. July marked the release of an API that enables real-time data transfers with other systems. In August SimpleNexus debuted new tools for building real estate partner relationships.

SimpleNexus reinvested in serving its mortgage lender clients by expanding its team. Notable hires in 2019 include:

Additionally, the company was a recipient of the HousingWire (HW) Tech100 and the Silver Telly Award for its "Do More" video campaign.
