Optimal Blue Releases Executive-Level AI Insights Tool, Ask Obi, to Clients

The no-cost, AI-powered assistant is built for executive decision-makers seeking fast answers to complex business profitability questions

PLANO, Texas, May 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Optimal Blue today announced that Ask Obi, an AI-powered assistant designed to help mortgage lending executives extract real-time insights from across Optimal Blue’s capital markets platform, is now generally available to all PPE clients. Introduced at the company’s inaugural user conference in February and refined through beta testing with select clients, Ask Obi provides executives with fast answers to complex profitability questions at no additional cost.

Image caption: Optimal Blue logo.

Ask Obi is built for executive decision-makers who need reliable, data-driven answers to complex business questions. By aggregating data across Optimal Blue’s solutions, it enables users to ask conversational questions – such as ‘where did margins shift the most last quarter?’ or ‘which branches issued the highest concessions last month?’ – and receive clear, visual responses that support confident, strategic decisions. An interface sidebar retains previous queries, making it easy to revisit past prompts or rerun commonly used questions with a single click.

“Ask Obi fills a critical need for lending leaders: making capital markets performance data not just accessible, but actionable,” said Erin Wester, chief product officer at Optimal Blue. “What makes Ask Obi stand apart is its ability to synthesize information across systems. Most AI tools in our space are focused narrowly on origination workflows, but Ask Obi helps executive teams view their operations holistically and at a level that’s often difficult to achieve without a dedicated analyst.”

Although available as a standalone product, Ask Obi is powered by and seamlessly connected to other Optimal Blue offerings. The more products a client uses, the deeper and more contextual Ask Obi’s insights become. As part of a broader rollout of AI-powered capabilities, Ask Obi complements tools like Optimal Blue’s recently launched Originator Assistant, which helps front-line originators compare and present optimal loan scenarios.

Ask Obi’s general availability comes just ahead of the Mortgage Bankers Association’s Secondary and Capital Markets Conference and marks another milestone in a series of planned enhancements for Optimal Blue clients this year.

About Optimal Blue

Optimal Blue effectively bridges the primary and secondary mortgage markets to deliver the industry’s only end-to-end capital markets platform.

Argyle debuts integration with Encompass Consumer Connect, upgrades existing integration with Encompass from ICE Mortgage Technology

Integrations work together to pre-populate the URLA while reducing lender costs, accelerating closings and removing borrower friction

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., May 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Argyle, a service provider automating income and employment verifications for some of the largest lenders in the United States, today announced the debut of its integration with Encompass® Consumer Connect™, a digital mortgage point-of-sale solution from ICE Mortgage Technology®, part of Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE). In addition, Argyle announced the release of significant upgrades to its existing integration with ICE Mortgage Technology’s flagship Encompass® loan origination system. Both integrations are built on the Encompass Partner Connect™ platform, ICE’s latest API framework for third-party mortgage technology service connections.

Argyle debuts integration with Encompass Consumer Connect
Image caption: Argyle debuts integration with Encompass Consumer Connect.

NEW: Consumer Connect POS integration

With Consumer Connect, borrowers can complete mortgage applications on any device, accelerating the loan verification and approval process with an engaging and simple digital mortgage experience. By enabling lenders to embed award-winning verification of income and employment (VOIE) in the application when borrowers are most engaged, Argyle’s Consumer Connect integration streamlines the loan process from the very start. Key benefits include:

  • Higher borrower conversion and faster processing times
    Embedding verification helps remove obstacles for lenders and borrowers, leading to higher application completion rates. By capturing income and employment data earlier in the loan process, lenders reduce bottlenecks that typically delay approvals, increasing the likelihood of moving the loan into processing.
  • Interoperability with Encompass LOS
    Borrower income and employment data collected by Argyle in Consumer Connect automatically transfers to Encompass. This enables the origination team to access and refresh additional paystubs, W-2s and 1099s directly in Encompass whenever needed—thus streamlining the loan process from application submitted to funding.
  • Faster, More Accurate AUS Submission
    In addition to W-2s, pay stubs and VOIE reports, Argyle’s raw income data elements automatically populate in the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) to accelerate GSE rep and warrant (R&W) determination.

IMPROVED: Encompass LOS Integration
In addition to the new Consumer Connect integration, Argyle has rolled out major enhancements to its Encompass integration, including:

  • Streamlined order flow
    A redesigned, single-page experience that clearly outlines the status of borrower accounts. Easily order, track and reverify—all from one convenient view.
  • Transparent order tracking for reports
    Argyle clearly outlines the status of your verification requests, ensuring you have the necessary data to move the loan forward.
  • Simplified, automated re-verifications
    If the verification is outside of your closing window, Argyle will issue a status update with instructions for re-engaging the borrower and will automatically generate and send the closing verification of employment (VOE) to the Encompass eFolder.
  • Better support for loan teams
    Improved email notifications make it easier for team members assigned to the loan file to follow along the status of a verification.

“Embedding Argyle into Consumer Connect and enhancing our Encompass integration brings a new level of automation and borrower ease to customers of ICE Mortgage Technology,” said John Hardesty, Vice President of Mortgage at Argyle. “By placing verification at the start of the borrower journey and optimizing workflows throughout the loan process, lenders can improve efficiency, reduce processing times and deliver a better experience for both borrowers and origination teams.”

ICE does not own, control, nor endorse any specific industry participant or the product/service provided.

IRS Solutions® Announces New Discrepancy Report Feature

New automated tool helps tax, financial, and legal professionals detect discrepancies in IRS reporting before they trigger IRS audits

VALENCIA, Calif., May 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — IRS Solutions®, the trusted name in tax resolution software, announces the launch of its latest innovation, the Discrepancy Report. This cutting-edge feature is designed to simplify the detection of discrepancies between filed tax returns and income data reported to the IRS by third parties. This will empower tax professionals to prevent audits while delivering exceptional service to their clients proactively.

IRS Solutions Software
Image caption: IRS Solutions logo.

Automated Reporting Detects and Prevents Audits

The new Discrepancy Report automates the process of identifying mismatches, saving tax practitioners countless hours of manual work. Analyzing filed tax returns against income reported to the IRS, the tool flags discrepancies that could trigger audits, allowing professionals to take corrective action in advance.

Available to all IRS Solutions members at no additional charge, this exciting new feature helps identify situations where you may want to proactively file an amended return or discuss a potential issue with your client.

Key Features of the Discrepancy Report

By thoroughly comparing filed tax returns against the income information reported to the IRS by third parties, the Discrepancy Report triggers tax professionals to work proactively with their clients. By informing your clients of unreported income, you may be able to prevent penalties and interest that could be assessed against them.

Founder and CEO David Stone says, “Previously, CPAs, EAs, and other tax advisors had to review and compare reports manually—or wait until a client’s account was flagged for an audit—to catch key discrepancies. Our new Discrepancy Report streamlines this process by automatically identifying potential unreported income early, helping prevent IRS issues, reducing audit risks, and ensuring accurate amendment filings when necessary.”

Tropos isn’t just a new portal. It’s Cloudvirga’s bold answer to what’s been missing in digital lending: a unified borrower experience that adapts to a lender’s real-world operations without requiring tech stack overhauls or lengthy implementations.

Envoy Mortgage expands down payment assistance reach with Down Payment Resource partnership after successful pilot

Pilot results spark full rollout of Down Payment Resource tools to boost efficiency and expand access

ATLANTA, Ga., April 30, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry’s leading provider of technology that connects homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, today announced that Envoy Mortgage (Envoy) will implement DPR’s suite of software tools across its national footprint. The move follows a successful pilot and reflects Envoy’s commitment to expanding down payment assistance (DPA) offerings while maintaining operational efficiency and reducing repurchase risk.

Down Payment Resource

Founded in 1997 as First Houston Mortgage, Envoy has helped more than 200,000 homebuyers across nearly 49 states. With a 98% customer satisfaction score, the Houston-based mortgage company has long prioritized both service and innovation. As its lending operations continue to scale nationwide, Envoy recognized the need for a more robust, data-driven approach to managing DPA programs.

“Partnering with DPR allows us to accelerate our goal of making affordable homeownership accessible to more people without needing to add headcount,” said Katrina Cummins, senior vice president of strategic initiatives at Envoy. “Its platform helps us streamline DPA management, while giving our teams the tools they need to better serve borrowers at every income level.”

During the pilot, Envoy documented significant time savings and process efficiencies, eliminating the need for an additional full-time hire, saving an estimated $70,000 to $80,000 annually. Beyond cost savings, the integration supports more informed lending decisions and a lower loan-to-value ratio for qualifying borrowers and is key to increasing access for low-to-moderate-income buyers.

“Down payment assistance can make a critical difference for homebuyers, especially those just starting their wealth-building journey,” said Jesse Passafiume, president of Envoy. “DPR’s platform has been a game-changer, reducing risk and enabling our team to offer these programs with greater confidence.”

Envoy is currently rolling out DPR’s technology across its branches. Phase 1 includes training for loan officers and underwriters, while Phase 2 will focus on integrating DPR directly into Envoy’s Encompass® loan production system. Phase 3 will explore API integration to capture qualified DPA leads in real time.

“Envoy is known for its people-first approach and high-touch service,” said Rob Chrane, founder and CEO of DPR. “With this partnership, it’s expanding what’s possible for buyers across the country. We’re proud to support Envoy’s efforts to make DPA more accessible, efficient, and impactful.”

About Down Payment Resource:

Down Payment Resource (DPR) is the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions. With a database that tracks more than 2,500 programs and toolsets for mortgage lenders, multiple listing services (MLSs) and API users, DPR helps housing professionals connect homebuyers with the assistance they need.

Friday Harbor raises $6M to help community mortgage lenders match the speed and efficiency of industry giants

AI-powered platform enables lenders of all sizes to close loans faster, reduce costs and ensure compliance in real time

SEATTLE, Wash., April 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced the completion of a $6 million seed round. The round was led by Abstract Ventures, a San Francisco-based venture firm with $1.5 billion in assets under management and a track record of backing breakout companies including Rippling, xAI, Hebbia, Brigit and Hippo (NYSE: HIPO) and Mischief, an early-stage VC fund co-founded by Plaid CEO Zach Perret.

Image caption: Friday Harbor, Inc. logo.

Also participating in the round were Wischoff Ventures, a VC firm founded by Blend (NYSE: BLND) alum Nichole Wischoff; and the AI2 Incubator, a technical incubator born from the Allen Institute for AI (AI2).

With Friday Harbor’s platform, lenders of all sizes can leverage AI to read and interpret borrower documents, generate a borrower-specific needs list, underwrite files and flag potential conditions—all in real time. Each flagged issue includes a suggested resolution, enabling loan officers to take action with a single click. By compressing what typically takes weeks of back-and-forth into just minutes, Friday Harbor reduces downstream friction and accelerates time to close.

Friday Harbor was founded with a mission to make advanced AI tools accessible to all lenders—not just those with the biggest budgets. By replacing outdated, manual workflows and automating key underwriting steps, the platform empowers banks, credit unions and independent mortgage banks (IMBs) to match—or even surpass—the speed, cost-efficiency and borrower experience of mega-lenders like Rocket Companies and United Wholesale Mortgage, which together accounted for one-fifth of all IMB originations in 2024, according to Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data.

“I’ve always believed AI could be the great equalizer in mortgage lending,” said Friday Harbor CEO and Co-founder Theo Ellis. “Thousands of lenders deserve access to the same tools as the mega-lenders—and in many cases, they’re now doing things the biggest players can’t. That’s what happens when you give lenders technology built by people who truly understand both AI and mortgage.”

Early adopters of Friday Harbor confirm the system’s ability to address costly ‘stare and compare’ tasks and mitigate errors that slow loan production:

  • “My LOs can’t stop talking about how much time they’re saving. Friday Harbor helps our team get ahead of potential issues before files even reach underwriting. That kind of early insight speeds up the process and creates a smoother experience for everyone—especially the borrower. I’ve never seen anything else like it.”
    —Taylor Stork, chief operating officer at Developer’s Mortgage Company
  • “Since partnering with Friday Harbor, we’ve seen a clear transformation in how we manufacture loans, our processing capacity has nearly tripled without adding headcount, our cost to originate is down and we’re submitting cleaner loans that move through underwriting faster. Partnering with Friday Harbor is not just an efficiency gain, it’s a competitive advantage that moves the needle in a big way.”
    —Rob Jewett, chief operating officer at NewFed Mortgage
  • “We started as a design partner of Friday Harbor because it is one the few uses of actual AI in analyzing documents being collected from borrowers. We teamed up early because we knew a real, document-level AI would slash the busywork for underwriters and processors. Less back-and-forth, fewer headaches—everybody wins.”
    —Kevin Peranio, chief lending officer at Paramount Residential Mortgage Group
  • “Friday Harbor tackles some of the biggest challenges that keep lenders up at night. It’s like having an expert set of eyes on every file. I can upload documents on one screen, work on something else and come back minutes later to find conditions issued, alerts flagged and even undisclosed debts identified. It streamlines file setup and underwriting in a way that’s both efficient and incredibly smart. This is the kind of tool that changes how lending teams work.”
    —James D. Carroll, head of home lending at Partners Bank

Friday Harbor was founded by Ellis and Jesse Collins (CTO) and launched in 2024 with support from the AI2 Incubator and CoFound Partners. Ellis was previously head of U.S. growth and an early employee at machine learning fintech Pagaya Technologies (NASDAQ: PGY), where he helped launch multiple new consumer credit verticals for the company. Collins previously held senior engineering roles at leading fintech companies including Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM) and Zillow (NASDAQ: Z), where he specialized in applying artificial intelligence to fraud detection and underwriting systems.

The $6M seed round will support the growth of Friday Harbor’s engineering team and support integrations with leading mortgage LOS and point-of-sale platforms—paving the way for more lenders to automate file setup, accelerate underwriting and compete directly with the largest lenders in the country.

About Friday Harbor
Friday Harbor is an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time. The company combines deep fintech expertise with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to remove complexity, slash origination costs and deliver a better borrower experience.

Floify introduces Dynamic Apps so lenders can tailor applications by loan type while supporting regulatory compliance

No-code custom loan applications supports improved borrower experience and faster loan processing

BOULDER, Colo., March 3, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced Dynamic Apps, a no-code feature that lets lenders tailor loan applications based on loan type. By eliminating irrelevant questions, Dynamic Apps shapes the home financing journey to borrowers’ unique goals while helping lenders accelerate approvals, improve application completion rates and maintain regulatory compliance.

Floify
Image caption: Floify.

Traditional loan applications follow a one-size-fits-all structure, often requiring borrowers to answer unnecessary questions. Dynamic Apps personalizes the application process by prompting borrowers to specify their loan purpose — such as purchase or refinance — at the beginning of the application for appropriate routing to specific questions. Based on their selection, the application adjusts, only guiding borrowers through questions relevant to their loan type.

Notably, Dynamic Apps allows lenders to create custom questions for specialized mortgages, such as non-QM and HELOC loans. It also supports HELOC lending compliance by presenting HELOC-specific disclosures within the loan application and by triggering HELOC-specific, rule-based workflows once a HELOC application has been submitted.

The configuration of questions to ask, require, or disable is based entirely on what the borrower selects upfront as their loan purpose. Dynamic Apps lets lenders customize question flow rather than omitting questions or entire sections from their application for certain loans. This enables borrowers to complete applications faster while improving application completion rates and helping lenders remain in compliance with industry regulations, such as those that prohibit asking applicants to provide demographic information for certain loan types.

“We see allowing lenders to collect information specific to the type of loan they are originating as a game-changer, streamlining the approval process and providing a red carpet experience for loan applicants,” says Sofia Rossato, president and general manager of Floify. “In essence, Dynamic Apps supports easily configurable, no-code application types that reduce application fallout and ultimately help lenders do more business.”

Dynamic Apps will be showcased at ICE Mortgage Technology’s ICE Experience, March 10-12, at Booth 417. Later in 2025, Floify will enhance Dynamic Apps to support additional types of loan application workflows.

Floify is a digital mortgage automation solution that streamlines the loan process by providing a secure application, communication, and document portal between lenders, borrowers, referral partners, and other mortgage stakeholders. Loan originators use the platform to collect and verify borrower documentation, track loan progress, communicate with borrowers and real estate agents, and close loans faster.

MCT Introduces Atlas: Generative AI Advisor for Mortgage Capital Markets

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, today announced the release of Atlas, an artificial intelligence (AI) advisor now available within the MCTlive! platform. Atlas serves as a virtual capital markets expert and high-quality educational resource for MCT’s mortgage lender clients. With this launch, effective February 10, 2025, MCT continues its tradition of innovation in secondary marketing technology, offering clients instant access to expert knowledge and paving the way for future AI-driven workflows that will save clients time and improve their financial performance.

MCTlive! Press Release
Image caption: MCTlive! Press Release.

“We’re proud to be the first mortgage capital markets platform to put AI in the hands of every client,” said Phil Rasori, COO of MCT and architect of Atlas. “AI has the potential to improve performance and act as a force multiplier for capital markets professionals, but only if it is deployed responsibly and transparently with careful protections for client data ownership and privacy.”

Atlas is built to the highest standards of data security and privacy after a year of careful planning, development, and testing by internal teams:

  • No client data has been exchanged with or used to train Atlas.
  • Atlas was trained on proprietary educational material, which is continually expanded as new innovations and subjects are covered.
  • The large language model supporting Atlas follows a strict escrow process that warrants its isolation from both developers and user data.
  • Retrieval augmented generation keeps the knowledge base stored in MCT’s private cloud environment.
  • Limited context “chunks” and function calling are used to further reduce external data transfer.

“Leadership through industry expertise and exceptional client service have been enduring core values at MCT,” said Curtis Richins, CEO. “Now we are extending that capability through Atlas, providing the collective knowledge of our experts on-demand. Whether clients are looking for instructions on platform processes or explanations of key calculations, they can now get answers with unprecedented speed and transparency.”

Atlas is currently designed for expertise distribution, effectively providing instant access to the combined knowledge base of MCT. Atlas will soon expand to include agentic report summarization and the ability to conduct core processes, which will be debuted at the MCT Exchange client conference to be held in San Diego next month. As these functions are made available, an opt-in will be provided that defines the limited client data that will be required to enable these and future capabilities.

Mortgage lenders interested in the benefits Atlas can provide their secondary marketing operations are encouraged to contact MCT.

About MCT:

For over two decades, MCT has been a leading source of innovation for the mortgage secondary market. Melding deep subject matter expertise with a passion for emerging technologies and clients, MCT is the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology. From architecting modern best execution loan sales to launching the most successful and advanced marketplace for mortgage-related assets, lenders, investors, and network partners all benefit from MCT’s stewardship.

Argyle launches fully embedded VOIE for mortgage lenders through nCino integration

Enhanced integration boosts loan pull-through and quality with direct data flow from the point of sale to the loan origination system

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., Feb. 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Argyle, a service provider automating income and employment verifications for some of the largest mortgage lenders in the United States, today announced significant enhancements to its integration with nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO), the leading provider of intelligent, best-in-class banking solutions.

argyle logo
Image caption: Argyle.

Argyle and nCino first teamed up in 2022 to bring fully digital verification of income and employment (VOIE)—including reports, pay stubs and W-2s—to the more than 370 mortgage companies and 52,000 loan officers that rely on nCino to manage the loan application process.

The latest enhancements to the integration, now available to all nCino customers, improve application pull-through and loan quality by allowing lenders to embed VOIE directly into the point-of-sale (POS) workflow within nCino’s Mortgage Suite. In addition to retrieving VOIE reports and pay documents from Argyle, nCino now captures data elements like GSE Reference IDs and automatically transfers them to the lender’s loan origination system (LOS).

Key Integration Enhancements:

  • Friction-Free Verification: Instead of inviting their customers to verify income and employment with an email or SMS, lenders can now simplify borrower interactions and improve application pull-through by presenting Argyle’s VOIE solution as an embedded, in-app experience directly in the Form 1003 application flow within nCino Mortgage.
  • Customizable Workflows: With Argyle and nCino Mortgage, lenders can tailor VOIE workflows and customize payroll connection lists for each of their business units or operating groups, creating personalized experiences that enhance borrower satisfaction.
  • Faster, More Accurate AUS Submission: In addition to W-2s, pay stubs and VOIE reports, Argyle’s raw income data elements automatically populate in the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) to accelerate GSE rep and warrant (R&W) determination. Argyle’s extensive payroll coverage and focus on data completeness can improve the frequency with which lenders secure R&W relief.
  • LOS Interoperability & Continuous Synchronization: nCino automatically passes new VOIE data and documents on to the lender’s LOS, enabling a simplified employment re-verification process during the 10-day pre-closing window and ensuring data accuracy across all systems of record throughout the loan lifecycle.

Argyle streamlines loan origination and delights borrowers by eliminating manual document collection, resulting in time savings of 5–7 days per loan and cost savings of 60–80% compared to legacy VOIE solutions. Argyle Vice President of Mortgage John Hardesty expects the enhancements to the nCino integration will drive greater adoption among mutual lender customers, enabling them to fully capitalize on these benefits.

“Our expanded integration with nCino reflects Argyle’s commitment to meeting lenders and their customers throughout the loan journey. Embedding Argyle’s VOIE at the point of sale gets loans through the loan process faster with accurate, complete data lenders and GSEs can trust,” said Hardesty.

“Embedding Argyle directly into the nCino Mortgage Suite makes it easier for lenders to process applications efficiently and provide borrowers with a smooth experience. Our collaboration is all about accelerating VOIE and ensuring borrower data flows smoothly from Argyle to nCino, through LOS platforms and into GSE systems with accuracy,” said Casey Williams, general manager of nCino Mortgage.

Optimal Blue Announces Ask Obi, an AI Assistant to Provide Mortgage Lending Executives With Real-Time Business Insights

Conversational generative AI chat assistant to provide easy-to-understand, interactive insights and graphical representations to help lenders maximize profitability

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Optimal Blue today announced Ask Obi, an AI assistant designed to provide mortgage lending executives with instant, actionable insights from their Optimal Blue products and data. Unveiled during Optimal Blue’s inaugural Summit user conference in San Diego, Ask Obi gives lenders the power to view their operations holistically with data aggregation across Optimal Blue’s comprehensive capital markets platform.

Ask Obi enables executives to inquire about intricate profitability metrics with simple, conversational queries – such as, “What markets had the greatest change in average margins from Q3 2024 to Q4 2024?” or “Which loan officers issued the most concessions over the second week of January 2025?” – and get easy-to-understand answers at a granular level to improve strategic decision-making.

“Our clients operate in a time when speed and accuracy matters, so having to wait for reports to be generated – only to then spend more time poring over those reports to get to the insights needed to make decisions – doesn’t make sense,” said Joe Tyrrell, CEO of Optimal Blue. “With Ask Obi, those hours of generating, compiling, and analyzing reports are replaced with accurate, real-time, personalized information, designed specifically for decision-makers, by delivering the data that matters most to their profitability. While other companies are talking about AI, but in reality are still trying to catch up to our accuracy and core capabilities, Optimal Blue has already embraced generative AI to solve real operational and capital markets challenges, all at no additional cost to our clients.”

“Ask Obi demonstrates the unique value clients realize by working with Optimal Blue, a provider of comprehensive capital markets technology,” said Erin Wester, chief product officer of Optimal Blue. “Through the power of generative AI, users can have an interactive conversation to better understand the data that drives their business. In contrast to other tools that may require filters and manual selections, Ask Obi is designed for ease of use and conversational interactions, while conveniently building off a user’s previous inquiries and suggesting preloaded questions.”

Available to Optimal Blue clients for beta testing later this month, Ask Obi offers complete access to a lender’s PPE data, with development work underway to expand access across Optimal Blue’s complete capital markets platform. This initiative aligns with Optimal Blue’s larger vision to deliver comprehensive interoperability among its end-to-end capital markets products, allowing clients to benefit from synthesized data and machine learning for enhanced margin management and profitability oversight.

Ask Obi is one of several innovations the company announced at its Summit, demonstrating its commitment to continuous investment in its products to help its clients maximize lending profitability.
