Mortgage Coach introduces integration with LoanSense to help federal student loan holders become homeowners and increase purchase power

CORONA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Coach, the industry's leading platform enabling mortgage lenders to create digital and accurate home loan options for consumers, today announced its partnership with LoanSense, an online student loan advisor that helps federal student loan holders enroll in affordable repayment and forgiveness plans. The partnership equips mortgage lenders to help homebuyers with high monthly federal student loan payments achieve better home financing outcomes by enrolling in federal student loan Income Driven Repayment (IDR) plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).

Despite strong incomes and credit scores, many of the 42.9 million Americans with federal student loan debt are either denied home financing or have reduced home purchasing power because they have higher debt-to-income ratios (DTIs) due to student loans. Many mortgage lenders and consumers do not know about federal IDR plans, which can substantially reduce monthly student loan burden for borrowers of every income level and for borrowers who carry student debt and did not graduate.

Mortgage Coach's partnership with LoanSense gives lenders access to a purchasing power calculator that determines how much borrowers' monthly student loan payments can be reduced - and how much their home purchasing power can be increased - through enrollment in an IDR plan. Once borrower eligibility is determined, loan originators can electronically refer borrowers who would benefit from enrolling in an IDR plan to LoanSense, where they will receive assistance navigating the complexities of correctly completing and submitting their IDR application. Upon IDR plan enrollment, LoanSense notifies lenders so they may resume the home financing process with increased purchase power, which can be accessed in as little as three weeks.

LoanSense also helps eligible consumers correctly enroll in PSLF, which discharges remaining federal student loan debt after 10 years of full-time employment in public service.

Alongside each LoanSense purchasing power calculation, Mortgage Coach generates a Rent vs. Own Total Cost Analysis (TCA), which compares the costs and equity gains of renting, owning and owning a more valuable home with increased purchase power over time. The instant accurate illustration of the borrower's adjusted monthly student loan burden and mortgage benefits is a first-of-its-kind innovation, giving lenders the ability to educate and support borrowers making homeownership more accessible.

"Addressing the barrier student loans present to homeownership is part of Mortgage Coach's ongoing and relentless effort to equip lenders with data and technology benefits to better serve their communities with more home financing options," said Mortgage Coach President Joe Puthur. "The impact of reducing a borrower's student loan payment by a few hundred dollars a month can be life-altering. It could mean $50,000 more for a better school district, an extra bedroom or closer proximity to employment."

"LoanSense is a mission-driven organization committed to helping improve the financial outcomes with our unique technology for the millions of Americans in student loan debt," said LoanSense Founder and CEO Catalina Kaiyoorawongs. "A home is 80% of the average American's wealth at retirement and delaying access to student-debt burdened borrowers will have major socio-economic impacts. We are pleased to integrate and partner with Mortgage Coach, who is equally committed to improving financial and homeownership outcomes for all prospective borrowers."

"The LoanSense integration is available to any Mortgage Coach member, including our Broker Edition subscribers," added Kelli Hodges, COO of Mortgage Coach. "Everyone on the homeownership journey and every professional we serve should have access to this path of more affordable financing."

LBA Ware’s LimeGear integrates with Experience.com to turn customer satisfaction scores into actionable business intelligence for mortgage lenders

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware™, a leading provider of incentive compensation management (ICM) and business intelligence (BI) software solutions for the mortgage industry, today announced it has partnered with Experience.com, home of the world's most impactful Experience Management Platform (XMP), to provide customers with a dynamic way to track customer satisfaction as a key performance indicator (KPI) in LBA Ware's LimeGear™ BI platform. The customer satisfaction KPI allows lenders to measure the customer experience as rated by borrowers, co-borrowers, real estate agents and other parties to a loan across the home financing journey and incorporate it into the performance evaluations of branch locations and individuals across the lending organization.

"With this integration, our customers will gain a more well-rounded view of their organization's performance through customer feedback," said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "It's not always easy to convert customer feedback into actionable data, but by working with Experience.com, LBA Ware has found a way to not only standardize the data, but also to allow lenders to customize which data points to track and when to track them. With more than 100 trackable KPIs available in LimeGear, lenders have the ability to gather a data-driven view across almost every part of their organization."

The customer satisfaction KPI resides within LimeGear's visually intuitive performance management dashboard. Because LBA Ware's partnership with Experience.com tracks customer feedback surveys by loan number, lenders can tie customer experience to performance scorecards for loan officers, processors, branch locations and more. As with LimeGear's other KPIs, lenders can assign a relative weight to the customer experience metric as part of an overall performance score. Role-based scorecards provide an at-a-glance view of how employees rank among their peers for volume, units and other configurable conditions.

"Nearly every lender deploys some kind of post-close survey to track customer satisfaction, but many lack a way to integrate the results into business intelligence," said Experience.com SVP of Partnerships Craig Pollack. "For lenders currently measuring the performance of loan officers and other team members purely on volume and profitability metrics, there is often a blind spot of including customer satisfaction as a trackable metric. This integration removes that blind spot and gives lenders a look at the bigger picture of performance as well as the ability to refine future customer satisfaction surveys as the picture comes into focus."

LBA Ware will be joined by Experience.com Vice President of Financial Services Kristin Messerli in LBA Ware's upcoming webinar, The Myths that Keep Millennials from Buying: Data-Driven Direction for Growing Your Share of America's Largest Homebuyer Market, which takes place October 6, from 1-2 pm ET. Registration is now open and required to attend.

New MBS Fintech Agile Revolutionizes Trading with the Launch of RFQ Platform

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Agile, a new fintech bringing mortgage lenders and broker dealers on to a single electronic platform, has formally announced the launch of its flagship RFQ (request for quote) platform. All MBS market participants can now participate on an electronic platform that expedites the exchange of To-Be-Announced Mortgage-Backed Securities (TBAs).

Despite the rise of electronic trading and digitization of financial services, MBS trading has largely been conducted over the phone. Phone-based trading is slow and impractical in generating numerous competitive bids. Agile is introducing a new, electronic way to quote MBS through a browser-based platform that digitizes the process of buying and selling TBAs. As a result, Agile enables the user to efficiently generate more competitive bids compared to legacy phone-based processes. (*See note 1.)

"Our mission is to bring the mortgage capital markets into a new digital era," comments Curtis Richins, President & CEO of Agile. "We're democratizing the TBA Market for lenders and dealers both big and small. We created Agile because we believe that a transparent market is a better market and because every counterparty deserves access to a fair, efficient and transparent marketplace."

Agile was developed with direct feedback from mortgage lenders and broker-dealers, resulting in a powerful platform that integrates smoothly with existing processes. With the browser-based platform, lenders can request trades from any device, anywhere. Agile's three step process for digital TBA trading communication can help lenders improve efficiency, while expanding the number of quotes they receive and their network of counterparties. For the first time, all mortgage lenders can trade with regional and primary dealers electronically.

Agile's initial roll-out began January 1, 2021 and demonstrated rapid adoption across the mortgage secondary market. Agile has supported 261 financial institutions who have exchanged 95.6 thousand quotes. (*See note 2.) Lenders have been quick to welcome the benefits of the new platform.

Early adopter Andrew Stringer (Director of Secondary/Capital Markets at First Bank), said, "After a busy conference day, I found myself with moments left to optimize coverage before market close. A few taps in Agile and I was done! No calls, no computer, no manual calculations - just a quick TBA trade and back to unwinding after a long day."

Agile has already received strong participation from the broker-dealer community, thanks to new opportunities for growth and operational improvement. Agile provides access to an ever-growing network of lenders, facilitates increased quote requests from approved counterparties, and delivers the efficiencies of a digital trade desk. Broker-dealers also have the benefit of straight-through processing with leading trade order management systems. Featured broker-dealers currently on the platform include, but are not limited to, the following: BMO Financial, BOK Financial Securities, CMG Securities, Daiwa Capital Markets, ED&F Man, Huntington Securities, Janney Montgomery Scott, JVB Financial, Performance Trust, Raymond James, South Street Securities, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co, and StoneX.

Brent Giese, Executive Director of Fixed Income at Daiwa Capital Markets America, said: "Working with Agile has been very productive and beneficial to Daiwa's growing mortgage banking sales franchise. With access to many qualified mortgage originators, the platform provides an efficient means to reach significant volumes. The technology is advanced and allows for effective performance feedback while their straight though processing capability eliminates costly trade errors. Simply put, I have been very impressed and am thankful to have this valued partnership."

About Agile

The industry's first MBS fintech, Agile brings together lenders and dealers of all sizes onto a single platform. Agile facilitates the exchange of TBA MBS by securing and automating communication between mortgage lenders and broker-dealers. Agile digitizes the historically phone-based process to an electronic platform which may improve profitability and efficiency, while reducing administrative errors. Through its competitive TBA RFQ digital platform, mortgage lenders gain access to national and regional broker-dealers previously inaccessible on digital platforms, while broker-dealers gain access to an ever-growing network of lenders. Based in Philadelphia, Agile Trading Technologies supports a national network of clients with a team of capital markets professionals who have deep trading experience at financial organizations of every size.

This study measured the change in phone use, productivity, and TBA execution associated with the implementation of Agile Trading Technology's RFQ platform (Agile RFQ), as well as the experiences of platform users. The study encompassed over 250 mortgage lender clients of MCT who either used Agile RFQ to support their own TBA trading, or Agile RFQ was used by MCT traders to support TBA trading on their behalf. The study measured the month of January 2021 (after implementation) against the month of January 2020 (before implementation). Data was collected through MCT reports on TBA trading activity and surveys of platform users.

DocMagic Named to Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully compliant loan document preparation, automated regulatory compliance, and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has been named to the 2021 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.

The Inc. 5000 ranks companies by overall revenue growth over a three-year period. Over the past three years, DocMagic achieved a growth rate of 67 percent, due in large part to dramatic increases in adoption of the company's award-winning Total eClose(tm) solution among mortgage lenders.

In the last 18 months, as mortgage lenders faced unprecedented challenges brought on by the pandemic, they increasingly turned to DocMagic's digital mortgage advisory services, remote implementation model, and strategic approach to automating new workflows. DocMagic's extensive subject matter expertise combined with its single-source Total eClose platform has helped numerous lenders successfully meet the many demands of a rapidly changing, high volume market.

"DocMagic has been a market leader for years, so lenders naturally turn to us first when they want to elevate their processes or need to adapt to new circumstances, and that's exactly what's happened since the start of the pandemic," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "We're proud of our market strength, which is demonstrated in our three-year growth rate."

An industry pioneer of eMortgage solutions and services, DocMagic launched the industry's first end-to-end eClosing solution in 2014, which included complete automation of the process along with dynamic docs with embedded eSignature capability, data integrity, SMART Doc(r) eNote generation, continuous compliance, and eNotary technology - all from within its single-source platform.

DocMagic has also been recognized for having the highest customer satisfaction levels and greatest adoption of its eClosing solution, as ranked by multiple independent third-party mortgage technology studies.

"We're honored to be named to the 2021 Inc. 5000 list among so many innovative and accomplished companies," said Iannitti. "Early on, we invested heavily in R&D to engineer the right blend of digital mortgage and eClosing technologies. DocMagic's ongoing growth reflects the diligent work and unwavering efforts of our entire company."

"The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we've lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people."

The Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the U.S. economy's most dynamic segment, independent small businesses. Intuit, Dell, LinkedIn, Zillow, Zappos, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

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.

Blockchain-based, AI-powered mortgage advisor Home Lending Pal raises $2.2M in pre-Series A round led by TMC Emerging Technology Fund LP

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation's largest independent cooperative network serving the mortgage industry, announced today that the TMC Emerging Technology Fund LP (the "Fund") recently led a pre-Series A investment round in Home Lending Pal, a technology-enabled marketplace that focuses on fair lending practices by using artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology to turn a complex home research and origination process into an easy online shopping experience for both qualified and unqualified borrowers.

Home Lending Pal's platform assists consumers, particularly minorities and millennials, to assess their financial ability to take on a mortgage. It also guides them to take actions to improve their access to mortgage financing and select mortgage originators with whom they want to share their application information based on an AI algorithm that predicts probability to close.

"TMC understands that progressive approaches to addressing fair lending and bridging the homeownership gap are needed, and the unique access the Fund provides to TMC's network of prominent industry lenders will be vital in helping Home Lending Pal build a process that de-identifies HMDA data until after the underwriting decision is made," Bryan Young, co-founder and CEO of Home Lending Pal, said. "This revolutionary technology allows underwriting data to be digitally validated while using a single upload of documentation to enable multiple lenders across the country to determine if they will work with the borrower without human biases from the upfront disclosure of age, sex or race."

"Financial inclusion must start with equal access, borrower data empowerment, and personalized education without sales pressure," said Steven Better, co-founder and COO of Home Lending Pal. "Home Lending Pal reduces origination friction for qualified borrowers and allows personalized roadmaps for unqualified borrowers to become qualified. I am excited to work with TMC to modernize the process by emphasizing fair lending and putting people first."

"The mortgage industry is embracing the idea of providing educational financial resources to consumers long before they begin their home buying journey and seek out lenders for financing options. Home Lending Pal exemplifies this concept by providing a much-needed solution to a pervasive issue," said Jonathan Freed, Managing Partner of Holland Mortgage Advisors and one of the Fund's participating Limited Partners. "We are excited by Home Lending Pal's cutting edge technology and the opportunity to collaborate with their forward-thinking team to improve access to home financing solutions by all consumers."

Orlando-based Angel Syndicate Bluewave Investment Partners, CMFG Ventures, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith, and CMFG Ventures Discovery Fund are other notable investors who joined the round. Home Lending Pal has raised $3.5 million to date for its digital mortgage advising platform, powered by artificial intelligence and blockchain. Home Lending Pal will demonstrate the next phase to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in early September and release it to the public for consumer use and feedback by late September.

The Limited Partners of the TMC Emerging Technology Fund consist of some of the most technology-forward lender members of TMC who evaluate and invest in companies looking to advance the mortgage industry. The Fund continues to look for investment opportunities that will result in higher profitability and business process improvement for TMC lender members.

About The Mortgage Collaborative

Based in San Diego, Calif., The Mortgage Collaborative was founded in 2013 by four notable industry leaders and is the nation's largest independent mortgage cooperative network. TMC is singularly focused on creating an environment of collaboration and innovation for small to mid-size mortgage lenders across the country to reduce cost, increase profitability, and better serve the dynamic and changing consumer base in America.

NotaryCam Partners with Texas Mortgage Law Firm, RUTH RUHL, P.C., to Add RON to Firm’s Loss Mitigation Services

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam®, a Stewart-owned company and a pioneering provider of remote online notarization and identity verification / authentication technology for real estate and legal transactions, today announced it has partnered with RUTH RUHL, P.C., a Texas-based law firm, to add security and automation to the firm's loss mitigation services through remote online notarization (RON).

RUTH RUHL, P.C., works with mortgage servicers and subservicers in all 50 states to provide state and federally compliant loss mitigation document preparation services. Using NotaryCam's RON platform, RUTH RUHL, P.C., will provide its clients with a secure eSign and eNotary process that improves efficiency while, most importantly, reduces the risk of fraud.

"RON is readily available with loan originations, but the concept of RON for loss mitigation is now coming to fruition," Ruth Ruhl, founder and president of RUTH RUHL, P.C., said. "I want RUTH RUHL, P.C., to be ahead of the curve and able to service my clients in a proactive manner. Partnering with NotaryCam provides a solution to my clients' time and money; it will all be paperless."

"One of the great things about RON is that we're finding new ways to use the technology every day," said NotaryCam Division President Rick Triola. "NotaryCam is honored to work with RUTH RUHL, P.C., to advance eSign and eNotarization education and implementation in the mortgage industry. All aspects of the mortgage industry stand to benefit from increased technology, and we are proud to be an innovator in bringing RON to the loss mitigation sector."

NotaryCam's platform also allows multiple parties to join the signing ceremony in person or from anywhere in the world and is supported by a robust, nationwide network of trained eNotaries available 24/7/365 to ensure a seamless, error-free notarization.

"Two of the factors that made this partnership with NotaryCam so attractive is the security of the platform and how it verifies the borrower's identity," continued Ruhl. "In my opinion, reducing the risk of fraud is key to my client's comfort level. The audio and video of the notary session, in my mind, helps to alleviate that risk. With NotaryCam, the notary is properly trained and understands the importance of the accuracy of both the borrower's signature and the electronic notary. Rick and I have the same commitment to our clients - excellence and customer service."

Sales Boomerang releases Q2 2021 Mortgage Market Opportunities Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the mortgage industry’s top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, today released its inaugural Mortgage Market Opportunities Report. According to the report, refinance opportunities continue to dominate the market, but a promising uptick in new listings was also evident in the Q2 data. Mortgage servicers will need to closely manage their default and foreclosure risk in the coming months, as the second quarter saw nearly two out of five customers trigger a risk-and-retention alert.

Methodology

The Mortgage Market Opportunities Report draws on Sales Boomerang system data to identify market opportunities of relevance to today's borrowers and lenders. To generate the report, Sales Boomerang reviewed data from more than 125 residential mortgage lenders that use its borrower intelligence and retention tools to monitor millions of customer and prospect records. Sales Boomerang then calculated the aggregate frequency with which those contact records triggered loan-opportunity and risk-and-retention alerts during the first and second quarters of 2021.

Key Findings*

Across the sample group, the frequency of each alert type in Q2 2021 was as follows:

* Mortgage Inquiry Alert: 5.87% of monitored contacts (down 33.97% from Q1)

A customer or prospect has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* EPO Alert: 2.43% of monitored contacts (down 24.30% from Q1)

A customer or prospect whose loan closed ≤ 6 months ago has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* Credit Improvement Alert: 2.20% of monitored contacts (up 41.94% from Q1)

A customer or prospect has improved their FICO score.

* New Listing Alert: 1.37% of monitored contacts (up 163.46% from Q1)

A customer or prospect has listed their home for sale.

* Equity Alert: 8.55% of monitored contacts (down 0.70% from Q1)

A customer or prospect's home equity has increased.

* Rate Alert: 13.33% of monitored contacts (up 31.85% from Q1)

The interest rate of a customer or prospect's existing mortgage is significantly higher than current prevailing rates.

For a subset of lenders that maintain servicing portfolios, the frequency of risk-and-retention alerts was as follows:

* Risk & Retention Alert: 36.63% of monitored contacts (down 5.69% from Q1)

A customer is engaging in one or more of 15 credit activities that may put their serviced loan at risk.

Analysis*

* Though New Listing alerts occurred in less than 2% of the sample data set, this alert type also saw the greatest quarter-over-quarter growth (163%). With home listings on the rise, we may be seeing the first signs of the purchase market's long-awaited reawakening.

* Refi opportunities continue to bear fruit; thanks to continued low interest rates, more than 13% of all contacts in the sample data set triggered a Rate alert in Q2, a 32% improvement over the previous quarter. But with Mortgage Inquiry alerts down nearly 34% quarter-over-quarter, lenders may need to proactively reach out to potential refi customers who aren't shopping for rates with the same gusto as they were at the beginning of the year.

* Equity alerts remained steady quarter-over-quarter, triggering for about 1 in 12 contacts (9%) in the sample data set.

* Risk & Retention was the most frequently triggered alert across the sample data set (37%). This result may be partially attributable to the sensitive nature of the Risk & Retention alert, which is triggered by any of 15 consumer behaviors that place a borrower in danger of missing a mortgage payment. The high frequency of this alert also underscores the nation's uneven economic recovery in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, as more than 9.5 million people remain unemployed and around 2.5 million homeowners are in forbearance plans.

"Industry experts have been pushing the idea that the refinance market has dried up since early 2021, but our data shows that plenty of borrowers still have the opportunity to improve their rates," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "Meanwhile, the housing inventory shortages that have stymied the purchase market's potential may finally be turning a corner, as our customers saw significant gains in new listings in Q2."

*Key findings and analysis provided for informational purposes only. The data represented in the Mortgage Market Opportunities report is historical. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Sales Boomerang accepts no responsibility or liability for readers' use of the key findings or analysis included in this report.

About Sales Boomerang:

Sales Boomerang transformed the relationship between mortgage lenders and borrowers with the introduction of the first automated borrower intelligence system in 2017. The company's intelligent alerts notify lenders as soon as a past customer or prospect is ready and credit-qualified for a loan. As the mortgage industry's #1 borrower retention tool, Sales Boomerang is trusted by more than 125 lenders - including brokers, independent mortgage companies, credit unions and banks - to help build lasting borrower relationships that maximize lifetime customer value. To date, Sales Boomerang alerts have enabled lenders to close more than $30 billion in additional loan volume that would have otherwise been overlooked and achieve customer retention rates that outperform industry norms by an average of 3-5X.

Oklahoma Bankers Association Endorses Promontory MortgagePath’s Mortgage Fulfillment Services and POS Technology

DANBURY, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Promontory MortgagePath LLC, a leading provider of comprehensive digital mortgage and fulfillment solutions, announced today the Oklahoma Bankers Association (OBA) has officially endorsed its mortgage fulfillment services and proprietary point-of-sale technology Borrower Wallet®.

OBA recognized Promontory MortgagePath's mortgage technology and end-to-end fulfillment services for their ability to help its members reduce mortgage origination expenses while allowing them to retain a full mortgage product suite. By shifting fixed mortgage-operations costs to a variable cost model through Promontory MortgagePath, community banks can augment their staffing needs to match the ebb and flow of the mortgage market.

"OBA's mission is to ensure Oklahoma's robust banking community possesses the tools it needs to support its communities and few support a community like increased homeownership," said OBA President and CEO Adrian Beverage. "Promontory MortgagePath's mortgage technology and fulfillment services will deepen our community banks' capacities to serve their communities while also providing stability and longevity through increased access to homeownership."

By offering mortgage technology and end-to-end fulfillment services, Promontory MortgagePath helps community banks build franchise value and expand relationships with their customers while establishing mortgage businesses that can withstand all market conditions. 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. "We're excited to partner with OBA to bring a profitable, efficient, and compliant mortgage solution to its member banks."

FormFree integrates AccountChek 3n1 one-stop VOE/VOIE into Encompass®

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® has partnered with ICE Mortgage Technology™, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology and market infrastructure,  to make its AccountChek 3n1 asset, income and employment verification service available in Encompass®, the mortgage industry's leading cloud-based loan origination platform.

The seamless API integration allows lenders to order, manage and review verification of asset (VOA) and verification of income/employment (VOIE) reports with a single provider selection in Encompass. By consolidating VOA and VOIE orders through a single vendor, mortgage lenders improve efficiency in the loan origination process, reduce per-loan costs and streamline vendor due diligence.

FormFree's AccountChek 3n1 securely delivers direct-source VOA and VOI/E data in less than a minute, significantly shortening loan application timelines and collecting critical underwriting documents earlier in the application process.

VOA (Asset Report)

For over 10 years, FormFree VOA has helped borrowers skip the paper chase when qualifying for a loan. Borrowers send their direct-source financial data straight to lenders in an underwriting-friendly format that reduces delays, manual errors and fraud risk. Real-time insight into borrowers' assets, income and employment enables better credit decisioning.

Key features include:

* Average connection time of just 22 seconds

* Available with 30, 60, 90 and 180-day refresh periods

* Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) rep and warrant relief eligible

VOIE (Income and Employment Report)

Several of today's popular VOI and VOE solutions have a success rate of less than 50%, requiring lenders to fall back on manual verification processes that are slow and result in a diminished borrower experience. FormFree's VOIE product covers 85% of all U.S. workers (over 100 million wage earners), saving lenders time and improving margins.

Key features include:

* Flat pricing significantly lower than market alternatives

* Up to 6 most recent pay stubs and 2 years of W-2s

* One free report refresh prior to close

"Now mortgage lenders can get all three core verifications - assets, income and employment - from one trusted partner within the familiar Encompass environment," said FormFree CEO Brent Chandler. "By combining VOA and VOIE, FormFree's AccountChek 3n1 eliminates the cost and headache of managing multiple vendors, helps loan teams work more efficiently and delivers a world-class borrower experience that expedites pre-approvals and increases loan pull-through."

About FormFree®

FormFree® is a market-leading fintech company whose revolutionary products AccountChek® and Passport® make for a more inclusive credit decisioning landscape by enabling lenders to understand people's true ability to pay (ATP®). To date, thousands of U.S. lenders and brokers have ordered millions of FormFree's patented verification reports representing trillions of dollars in loan verifications.

Lenders receive validated payroll, paystub and bank account data in real time and can refresh the data within 10 days of the loan closing as needed to fulfill investor requirements.

"Our integration with Finicity's Mortgage Verification Service delivers GSE-accepted verification of assets, income and employment in one easy interaction," said SimpleNexus Chief Product Officer Shane Westra. "The entire process takes place in minutes within the simple, familiar SimpleNexus app that borrowers and loan officers rely on throughout the homebuying journey."

Synergy One's 275 loan officers use a white-labeled version of SimpleNexus under the S1 Connect moniker.

This has maximized employee productivity throughout the lending process, not only with DocMagic but with many of AmeriSave's vendor partners.

AmeriSave has effectively managed its growth by designing and implementing systems and processes that have been paramount to the company's continued success. DocMagic's Total eClose platform has helped AmeriSave expand during the re-fi boom and over the course of the pandemic, with simple and intuitive interfaces for borrowers.

It fully automates the closing workflow while leveraging the precision-based accuracy of its intelligent, dynamic document generation capabilities and compliance engine. DocMagic ensures that data and docs are consistent and accurate throughout the origination and closing process.

Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group® Surpasses 10,000 Paperless eClosings with DocMagic’s Total eClose™ Solution

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, automated regulatory compliance, and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group®, a national independent mortgage banker, has successfully processed more than 10,000 paperless eClosings. The tech-savvy lender is utilizing DocMagic's Total eClose™ platform, with eNote generation, integrated eVault technology, and compliant document production. Together, the solution set has helped catapult Atlantic Bay into an industry-leader position in eMortgage lending and complete digitization of the closing process.

In January of 2020, Atlantic Bay had executed only seven eNotes but concluded the year with more than 7,000 eNotes registered with MERS. As of May 2021, the lender surpassed 10,000 eClosings, representing more than 20 percent of all loans originated as paperless closings.

"We are very excited about the immense success we've had and continue to experience with DocMagic's Total eClose solution," stated Christina Brown, Chief Operations Officer at Atlantic Bay. "From origination through closing, warehouse lending and onto secondary marketing, we've seen a tremendous upside to producing eNotes that has benefited us as a company, our staff, and our customers."

As a result of offering a completely electronic closing to borrowers that includes remote online notarizations (RON), Atlantic Bay reports that it has experienced increased accuracy; quicker turn times; strict compliance adherence; better secondary marketing sell-side efficiencies; more warehouse line liquidity; and a straightforward, speedy, and pleasant closing experience for borrowers. Together, these benefits have produced greater profitability and reduced costs for Atlantic Bay.

"Atlantic Bay exemplifies an incredibly efficient lender that has made all the right moves to fully embrace digital lending and completely remove paper from the closing process with our Total eClose platform," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "When you put the necessary pillars in place like Atlantic Bay has, it paves the way to more scalable operations with paper-free eClosings at the heart of the workflow. The benefits Atlantic Bay is enjoying are tremendous and we're excited to showcase them as a client that's perfected the eClosing process."

Brown added: "More than anything, our success has been predicated on being early adopters of RON and eNotes, helping settlement agents become comfortable with DocMagic's software, working closely with our warehouse lenders and investors to accept eNotes, and having a 'just do it' attitude toward eClosings with eNotes. All of the legwork that we performed before, and in the early days of the pandemic, helped us gain a lot of experience and were able to execute thousands of eClosings. It's now become a competitive advantage for us."

Atlantic Bay is a long-time DocMagic client and has been an early adopter of hybrid eClosings since processing its first hybrid eClose in 2018. The lender's subsequent implementation of RON technology and eNotes has taken its closing, post-closing, funding, and loan sales to the next level. Moving forward, Atlantic Bay will widen the use of RON technology and continue to work closely with settlement providers to expand its footprint in digital originations and closings.

DocMagic's Total eClose solution gives Atlantic Bay users the ability to easily access the platform directly from a seamless integration with its loan origination system (LOS). Total eClose provides an end-to-end paperless workflow that seamlessly connects every component of the closing process. It includes use of DocMagic's eDocument library with integrated eSign technology, automatic generation of a MISMO Category 1 SMART Doc® eNote, eNotary technology for all 50 states, direct MERS® eRegistry of the eNote, and secure storage in its certified eVault.

Total eClose leverages the precision-based accuracy of DocMagic's intelligent, dynamic document generation capabilities. It also integrates tightly with DocMagic's AutoPrep™ solution that e-enables any 3rd-party documents to execute eClosings.

FormFree announces Former JPMorgan Chase Division CEO Kevin Watters joins its Board of Directors

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® today welcomed Kevin Watters to its board of directors. Watters is a payments, mortgage lending and business banking leader known for his ability to successfully and rapidly scale financial services businesses through operational and technology transformation.

Watters was a pioneer in the branchless banking space, serving as chief marketing officer of Wingspan (a Bank One subsidiary) and president of Bank One's corporate internet group until its acquisition by JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM). Watters served in multiple senior executive positions during his 18-year tenure at JPMorgan Chase, including five years as president of the investment bank's internet group and five years as CEO of its business banking division. Subsequently, he served as CEO of mortgage banking, where he played a critical role in restoring profitability to the division after the financial crisis. In his final year at the company, Watters was named CEO of Chase card services, which encompasses Chase's consumer, small business and commercial lines of business.

Since retiring from JPMorgan Chase, Watters has taken on roles as an advisor and educator. In 2019, Watters began teaching finance as an adjunct professor at Tulane University. In 2020, Watters joined Lightyear Capital, a New York-based private equity firm focused on financial services, as senior advisor to Fund V, which focuses on digitalization in the financial sector and payments technologies.

MCT Introduces BAM Marketplace, the First Truly Open Mortgage Loan Exchange

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced the public introduction of BAM Marketplace™. Originally launched to support existing MCT sellers during the 2020 pandemic liquidity crisis, BAM Marketplace now welcomes new buyers and sellers as the world's first truly open loan exchange between unapproved counterparties.

In the early days of the pandemic, investors bought fewer loans and sellers ran into liquidity issues, especially for specific loan characteristics such as low-FICO government. BAM Marketplace connected distressed sellers with would-be buyers, particularly agency-approved lenders within the MCT client base, some without previous correspondent investing experience. The ability to transact with unapproved counterparties, combined with API-driven automated live pricing, allowed these new buyers to provide a top-tier correspondent experience and quickly build a base of sellers. Today, BAM Marketplace provides quantifiable benefits to lenders of every size for loans of every type.

Sellers benefit by reducing liquidity constraints, growing investor outlets, and increasing loan sale profitability. MCT clients have noted materially improved execution across all loan types. The average spread to cover bids on BAM Marketplace is thirty-two basis points, with that spread extending to forty-six basis points for government production and eighty-nine basis points for low-FICO government loans. Sellers are also finding new outlets for non-owner occupied and second home loans - a key focus area given the new agency limits on such production.

"Gone are the days of a finite set of approved investors, not knowing who has an axe, and incomplete information on who may offer the best price. BAM Marketplace targets systemic issues of limited liquidity and slow turn times for pricing and also helps minimize a lender's exposure to crises and regulatory changes," said Curtis Richins, President at MCT. "It's the only loan exchange where sellers can receive executable bids from unapproved buyers. Through our patent-pending 'security spread commitment', MCT firmly holds its position as the gold standard in best execution and moves one step closer to the ultimate goal - when every loan can be priced by every investor."

Buyers benefit from BAM Marketplace through efficient access to the industry's largest community of sellers and the ability to bid on loans offered by unapproved lenders. Agency-approved lenders can now find unique buying opportunities, even without the prior experience or cost calculations typically associated with launching a correspondent lending channel. MCT's AutoBidTM bid tape pricing solution supports every BAM Marketplace buyer, allowing them to provide automated, algorithm-based live pricing that can be fine-tuned to each seller and loan characteristic.

"By extending the Bid Auction Manager (BAM®) platform, MCT has unlocked additional liquidity and created a turn-key, digital purchasing solution," said Phil Rasori, Chief Operating Officer, MCT. "Proprietary, patent-pending functionality enables immediate access to 'biddable' loan collateral offered by MCT's client base-the largest in the industry."

For MCT clients, BAM Marketplace is part of our core offering with no additional cost or set-up required. It is also available as a stand-alone platform for non-clients.

On June 10, two of MCT's key innovators, Phil Rasori and Justin Grant, will provide a demonstration of the platform and details on the new security spread commitment type. Registration for the webinar is required and easily completed by visiting the BAM Marketplace Industry Webinar registration page: https://mct-trading.com/mct-webinar-introducing-bam-marketplace/.

Founded in 2001, Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT) has grown from a boutique mortgage pipeline hedging firm into the industry's leading provider of fully integrated capital markets services and technology.

5X Solutions Adds Compensation Analysis to their Mortgage Business Intelligence Platform

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- 5X Solutions, LLC, a mortgage business intelligence and data analytics company, has announced the addition of loan agent compensation analysis to its automated financial reporting and mortgage business intelligence software.

Users of Telemetry BI now have complete visibility to the commissions paid to loan officers. This includes loan-level details, dollars paid, and basis points (bps) for each transaction. In the past, accounting personnel would generate reports manually via spreadsheets, only to have them challenged by loan agents and branch managers questioning the underlying numbers. In other cases, the client risked overpayment due to manual mistakes or incomplete data.

This new reporting tool provides post-payment audit capabilities to accounting and financial staff. Reports are generated automatically by integrating data from the client's loan origination software (LOS) and their accounting system. Compensation is calculated based on units closed, funded amounts, loan types, referrals, and loan assistants, providing transparency and timely access via on-demand compensation analytics.

Corporate executives, branch managers, regional managers, and individual loan officers can view compensation details relevant to them in real-time. This eliminates the need for the constant back-and-forth between accounting staff and loan agents to validate results and answer questions.

A planned release of prepayment commission and bonus reporting for the entire company including loan processors, underwriters, and other staff members will add efficiency and transparency to the mortgage operation. Details can be viewed before payments are made to ensure that commissions and bonuses are correct. This enhances Telemetry MBI's existing Marketing and Expense program that enables loan officers to benefit by claiming pre-tax expenses related to generating business.

Telemetry MBI's new compensation analysis complements existing financial reports, KPIs, performance dashboards, and analytics to provide a 360-degree view of a mortgage business's operational health. Adoption of this feature by clients has exceeded expectations. 5X Solutions' Co-Founder John Beneventi says "Compensation analysis rounds out Telemetry MBI's automated financial reporting capabilities by offering managers the ability to drill down on details and explore trends around each loan officer's performance and compensation."

ACES Quality Management Launches ACES CONNECT While Also Integrating 30 New Vendors to Its Core Platform

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management™ (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, today announced the launch of ACES CONNECT™, as well as the addition of 30 integrated vendor partners into ACES Quality Management & Control™ software as part of its spring product release.

Designed to give senior management at mortgage lenders and third-party providers on-demand access to key reporting data, ACES CONNECT provides users with the ability to self-remediate audit findings, access reporting and trending data, review audit documents and manage corrective action plans in coordination with their organization's risk department. In addition, ACES CONNECT allows users to have access to the ACES QC reporting to provide easy to view reporting for senior management along with any designated third parties. ACES CONNECT will enhance productivity and boost collaboration in resolving defects, requesting or supplying additional documentation and answering questions and concerns with trackable communications.

"The changing market dynamics of the last year has underscored the need for secure and efficient internal communication and collaboration, especially when viewed through the lens of the ever-shifting financial regulatory and compliance landscape," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "ACES CONNECT not only provides lenders and financial institutions with a critical viewing window into exactly what's going on in their respective businesses from a quality and compliance standpoint, but it also creates a centralized access point for quick and easy defect identification, remediation and resolution tracking to effectively mitigate risk and maintain quality."

Along with the launch of ACES CONNECT, the company has also significantly expanded its network of integrated vendors, allowing users to order, track and receive re-verification documents and data directly within ACES core platform. With these additions, ACES now supports an additional thirty vendors across five categories: Credit, SSN, Asset, 4506-C and Field Reviews. By leveraging ACES integrations, third party orders are sent and received securely, leveraging existing ACES data, ultimately reducing the time and labor associated with each transaction. ACES has also expanded its relationship with MeridianLink to add support for instant verification of employment and income from The Work Number through MeridianLink's network of resellers.

"Integrations have been available within ACES for several years, and over the last year in particular, we've put tremendous effort into expanding our integration framework to bring added efficiency to our users' quality control audit process and eliminate the manual re-work that often introduces unnecessary errors," Gauthier added. "By dramatically increasing the number of available vendors, we've provided ACES users with even more options for best-of-breed re-verification partners to help support their loan quality and risk management efforts."

ACES' newest upgrades were spearheaded by client requests collected during its annual client survey, the results of which drive and validate much of the company's product roadmap.

"At ACES, we believe in being proactive, not reactive, when it comes to product development and enhancements, and our clients play a critical role in that process by providing us 'boots on the ground' intelligence regarding the challenges they face in maintaining loan quality and mitigating risk," Gauthier explained.

Sales Boomerang integration with Volly enables lightning-fast lead response for increased mortgage loan volume and customer retention

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, today announced its integration with Volly, an industry-leading provider of SaaS-based fintech and creative marketing services to the financial services industry. The combination of Sales Boomerang and Volly positions lenders to take immediate action when a customer or prospect is ready for a loan, enabling higher borrower retention, increased loan volume and lower per-loan costs.

Sales Boomerang monitors customer and prospect databases on behalf of mortgage lenders and their referral partners. By combining market intelligence with a lender's own credit underwriting preferences, Sales Boomerang identifies exactly when a prospect or past customer is ready for a new loan. Sales Boomerang opportunity alerts may be triggered by both market factors (for instance, interest rate changes and home price appreciation) and consumer behaviors (such as listing a home for sale, shopping with another lender or improving one's credit score).

Built for the mortgage industry, the Volly Portal includes a full-service CRM contact and campaign management hub that makes it easy for lenders to manage leads and deploy automated marketing journeys for customers and partners. Volly also offers a mortgage point-of-sale (POS) platform, custom website solutions and the Volly Marketing Portal, a storefront loan officers and mortgage brokers can use to self-provision pre-approved marketing workflows, collateral and closing gifts on demand.

By piping Sales Boomerang opportunity alerts into Volly, lenders can use rules-based automation to take immediate action, such as enrolling a consumer in a relevant marketing campaign or scheduling follow-up tasks for the loan originator who owns the contact. Loan originators can even invite referral partners to share their own contacts for monitoring by Sales Boomerang and automated co-marketing powered by Volly.

"Sales Boomerang serves up hyper-relevant loan opportunities that deserve immediate action, and our integration with Volly makes it easy to follow through before competitors even know the consumer is in the market for a loan," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "In fact, the average lender that uses Sales Boomerang in conjunction with automated marketing sees an 11.6% improvement in borrower retention and 20% to 40% lift in loan volume."

"Volly's marketing automation solutions help loan originators do their jobs more effectively and efficiently," said Volly CEO Jerry Halbrook. "By layering on criteria-driven portfolio monitoring from Sales Boomerang, we're enabling lenders to engage with opportunities even faster in a market when speed to lead is perhaps the single most important factor in customer retention."

SimpleNexus applauds Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) for targeting federal Remote Online Notarization (RON) legislation as National Advocacy Conference priority

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading homeownership platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents, today praised the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) for naming federal Remote Online Notarization (RON) legislation as a core issue of its National Advocacy Conference.

"Our industry has taken sweeping measures to provide mortgage consumers with the mobile and online home buying experience they prefer, but existing notarial laws impede the shift in technology," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen. "To date, only 32 states have passed RON-enabling legislation, hindering the housing finance industry's ability to provide a broad swath of American homebuyers with the safety and convenience of a remote online closing ceremony. SimpleNexus commends the Mortgage Bankers Association for leading the charge on this critical issue."

The MBA is coordinating with association partners and members to encourage Congress to reintroduce and enact The Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote Online Notarization Act (SECURE Notarization Act). Initially introduced with bipartisan sponsorship as Senate Bill 3533 in March 2020, the SECURE Notarization Act would permit immediate nationwide use of RON with minimum standards necessary to protect consumer data and provide certainty for the interstate recognition of RON. States with existing RON laws on the books would retain the flexibility to implement their own RON standards.

Each year, the MBA organizes housing finance stakeholders for its National Advocacy Conference to directly educate lawmakers about key industry policy priorities and hear directly from elected officials. This year's conference will be held virtually, May 11-12, 2021.
