Shore United pursues implementation to benefit from the enhanced productivity and borrower experience offered by Dark Matter's solutions

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 25, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, announced today that Shore United Bank (Shore United), a community bank founded in 1876, has selected the Empower® LOS and select AIVA ® AI virtual assistants from Dark Matter to streamline its mortgage lending operations and offer additional support for integrations.

Image caption: Dark Matter Technologies.

Shore United is a full-service community bank serving customers in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

Under the agreement with Dark Matter, Shore United will use the Empower LOS and the AIVA AI virtual assistant solutions to leapfrog their business beyond their legacy technology and gain a competitive edge with customers.

“Shore United has transitioned to a more powerful platform that will propel them into the future, increasing their return on investment through improved productivity and offering price stability as the market picks up speed,” said Dark Matter SVP of Northeast Sales, Pete Micera. “We look forward to supporting Shore United’s expedited implementation timeline so they can begin enjoying the value of our solutions quickly.”

Dark Matter Technologies announces planned CEO transition effective April 2025

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.

Photo caption: Chief Revenue Officer Sean Dugan to assume CEO role at Dark Matter.

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.

Dark Matter Technologies’ Product Evangelist Craig Rebmann honored with 2024 HW Insiders Award

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced that Craig Rebmann, its product evangelist, has been named a 2024 HW Insider. Now in its ninth year, the HW Insiders program recognizes talented operations professionals laying the foundation of success for their organizations.

Rebmann was hand-selected by Dark Matter's CEO Rich Gagliano to lead the Empower product integration team in 2011, back when the loan origination system (LOS) had far fewer clients and was in need of a new direction. Over the next 12 years, Rebmann played a critical role in helping transform Empower into the most advanced and one of the most-used core origination technologies, now used by more than 80 lenders. Never one to rest on his laurels, today Rebmann continues to wield great influence as product evangelist, where he works hand-in-glove with Dark Matter Technologies' sales engineers to provide lenders with solutions tailored to their unique business models.

Equipped with exceptional knowledge and passion for Dark Matter's products, Rebmann was appointed product evangelist in 2023. In this role, Rebmann is now passing that product enthusiasm and inquisitiveness on to the Dark Matter sales team. Craig and his team regularly educate sales about product enhancements and best practice applications. He accompanies sales engineers on product demos, delving into lenders' business models and challenges to provide a consultative experience.

During his tenure leading product, Rebmann's notable accomplishments include bringing to market automated, task-based workflows that transform back-office productivity (also known as the Orchestration Engine); building out a more robust integration with the Exchange integration hub; and developing correspondent lending functionality within Empower.

"We are fortunate to have Craig guiding development decisions. His lengthy experience with Empower provides us with valuable insight to help Dark Matter's product and technology specialists identify the needs of customers and match them with the right solutions," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "His honesty, work ethic and enthusiasm encapsulate Dark Matter's values and are setting the table for a very bright future. We are so pleased he chose to join us when he did."

"The HousingWire Insiders honorees are the operational leaders who are the backbones of their organizations - driving innovation and efficiency, and creating opportunities for their organizations," said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "By improving user experiences, identifying market opportunities, and developing efficient processes, these outstanding individuals are propelling their organizations toward sustained growth and excellence."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced that its vice president of marketing, Wes Horbatuck, has been honored by HousingWire as one of its 2024 Marketing Leaders. The award celebrates the 50 most creative and influential marketing minds of the housing industry and recognizes leaders who have transformed brands and driven business results for their organizations.

Wes Horbatuck is a 14-year mortgage marketing veteran. In 2023, he played a pivotal role in launching Dark Matter as the driving force behind the company's marketing and sales teams, directing product positioning and customer relationships. Horbatuck is recognized for masterminding the Dark Matter brand and supporting the company's position as a product innovator with the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) and the suite of AIVA® AI Virtual Assistant solutions.

In less than a year, Horbatuck and his team have documented success by expanding Dark Matter's share of voice, growing its market footprint, and hosting its first-ever user conference, Horizon 2024, which attracted a capacity crowd of 250. Additionally, Horbatuck increased Dark Matter's social media following, launched a new website and debuted the "Spotlight" podcast series.

"Before finding my way to the mortgage industry, I co-founded a surf apparel company called Driftline and even appeared on ABC's 'Shark Tank,'" said Horbatuck. "The entrepreneurial attitude I gained and nurtured through those experiences has been vital to reimagining and executing the new Dark Matter brand. My team has gone above and beyond to establish the company's brand and messaging, and I'm ecstatic to see the positive impact on our customers' trust and Dark Matter's industry presence."

"The 2024 Marketing Leaders are once again setting the bar high, pushing boundaries and redefining excellence in mortgage and real estate," said HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Sarah Wheeler.

Dark Matter Technologies enhances the Empower LOS with native support for mortgage assumptions

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced enhancements to the Loan Assumptions feature in the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) that make it easier for mortgage lenders and servicers to transfer assumable mortgages to new homebuyers. The Empower LOS is the first mortgage loan origination system to announce native support for loan assumptions, a feat made possible by the system's flexibility and robust mortgage servicing platform integrations.

An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows the transfer of the original borrower's loan - including the remaining balance, repayment schedule and interest rate - to a new homeowner. Although conventional loans are seldom assumable, loans from the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - products that account for more than one in five active loans today - can be assumed if certain conditions are met.

Typically, buyers must qualify under the loan's criteria, and sellers need to obtain approval from their loan servicer. The Empower LOS supports the process whether initiated by the seller's mortgage servicer or the buyer's mortgage originator and can even work with financial institutions that use a different LOS provider for first-lien origination.

Mortgage assumptions are gaining popularity in today's purchase mortgage market, where buyers often face interest rates that are higher than the seller's existing rate. The FHA recently announced it will adjust the maximum fee mortgagees may charge to process these loans from $900 to $1,800. Scheduled to go into effect on August 19, the change was made to support increased consumer demand by compensating mortgagees "at a rate that is appropriate for today's market."

"After successfully piloting our loan assumption capability with a select group of early adopters, we're incredibly pleased with the progress, success and the general availability of this important feature that consumers and real estate agents are increasingly asking for by name," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "By partnering with Dark Matter, mortgage originators and servicers can transfer assumable mortgages for home buyers and sellers in a manner that is compliant and efficient."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative new leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today welcomed Truity Credit Union (Truity) as the latest financial institution to select the Empower® loan origination system. A member-owned credit union with locations in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, Truity will leverage the Empower LOS to provide loan officers and members a modern, mobile-friendly experience across home purchase, refi, home-equity and construction loan originations.

According to Joe Beffer, Truity's senior vice president and director of lending, the credit union chose Dark Matter for its mobile-friendly Borrower Portal℠ and for features that will help its internal team work more efficiently, including out-of-the-box product and pricing integrations, exception-based automation and AI virtual assistants. Truity will also leverage the joint-venture feature of the Empower LOS to support the mortgage needs of several smaller credit unions in the region, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of a modern origination system while still offering individualized branding, products and pricing.

"With Dark Matter, Truity will be able to provide our community a superior mortgage experience from start to finish, including the ability to apply for a loan, upload documents and message their loan officer from their mobile phone," said Beffer. "We're excited about improving our internal team's efficiency. The Empower LOS and its automations will allow Truity to operate like a much larger institution and will scale with us as we plan for future growth."

"At Dark Matter Technologies, we're focused on providing innovative solutions that meet the origination needs of financial institutions and the communities they serve now and in the future," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "Our new relationship with Truity Credit Union exemplifies this commitment. We're proud to bring an exceptional mortgage experience to Truity members and loan officers."

Federally chartered to lend in 49 states, Truity offers a range of purchase, refi and home-equity products as well as construction loans and relocation assistance for employees of ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company and Tyson. Truity was recently designated the official credit union of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, an organization that shares its historical ties to Phillips 66.

Dark Matter Technologies appoints former Ellie Mae executive as deputy chief product officer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter) today announced the appointment of Vikas Rao as deputy chief product officer. Reporting directly to Chief Product Officer Stephanie Durflinger, Rao is charged with overseeing enhancements to the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) and establishing Dark Matter's developer community, which will help lenders embed automation deeper in their origination workflows and more tightly integrate their systems using open application programming interfaces (APIs) and widgets.

Rao previously served as vice president of product management for mortgage origination technology provider Ellie Mae®. There, Rao pushed the "next generation" of mortgage technology, leading product strategy for the Encompass® loan origination platform and for Ellie Mae's Developer Connect solution, a suite of APIs that enabled lenders and partners to securely share information. Though Rao took a career break following the $11 billion acquisition of Ellie Mae by Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) in 2020, he ultimately found the opportunity to help guide Dark Matter's tech transformation too compelling to pass up.

"Dark Matter's pioneering advancements in automation and AI are reshaping the mortgage landscape," Rao said. "I'm eager to apply my expertise to propel Dark Matter's mission forward, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mortgage origination and amplifying our impact on the homebuying experience of lenders and consumers alike."

"Vikas has an impressive track record of success in driving digital innovation and API utilization in mortgage origination," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano.

Rao has over 15 years of experience in software engineering, product management and technology leadership spanning public and private companies within the mortgage industry and in Silicon Valley's startup scene. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science and is a 2017 graduate of Stanford University's Stanford Ignite executive education program.

Monterra Credit Union elevates the member experience with the Empower LOS from Dark Matter Technologies

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative new leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced that Monterra Credit Union (Monterra CU), a full-service financial institution serving members throughout San Mateo County, California, the City of Palo Alto and the San Francisco Bay Area, has selected the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) for mortgage loan, home-equity loan and home-equity line of credit (HELOC) originations.

One of California's top 50 credit union lenders by mortgage loan volume, Monterra CU attributed its selection of the Empower LOS to the origination system's self-service configurability, its robust integrations with best-in-class product and pricing engines (PPE) and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, and its support for the digital closings Monterra CU members increasingly prefer. In addition, the credit union expects to be able to close loans more quickly and process more loans per full-time employee with the help of the "lights-out" task automation that is native to the Empower LOS.

"Through the integration of the Empower LOS, Monterra Credit Union is enhancing the mortgage experience for our members, increasing efficiency and priming ourselves for future growth," stated Wade Painter, president and CEO of Monterra Credit Union. "Our team eagerly anticipates the array of new features and process improvements this partnership brings, underscoring the strong rapport we've cultivated with the Dark Matter team.

We are honored to have earned Monterra's business and look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration."

Dark Matter Technologies named to HousingWire’s Tech100 for innovation in loan origination technology

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative new leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, today announced it has been named to HousingWire's 2024 Tech100 Mortgage list of companies shaping the future of the housing finance sector. HousingWire attributed the recognition to the cutting-edge technology behind the Empower(r) loan origination system (LOS), a comprehensive, bundled offering from Dark Matter that provides all-in-one mortgage origination functionality.

The Empower LOS takes a task-based approach rather than a linear approach to automating loan production, allowing multiple processes to run concurrently with minimal lender intervention. By tapping employees only as needed to manage exceptions, the Empower LOS streamlines origination workflows, resulting in significant time and cost savings for banks, credit unions and independent lenders.

"Our approach to innovation is tightly focused on helping lenders curb the runaway expense of loan origination," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "In the last 12 months, we've doubled down on our investments in automation, piloted new applications of artificial intelligence in the origination workflow, and opened up our API architecture to facilitate deeper collaboration with like-minded vendors. It's an exciting time in the evolution of the Empower LOS, and it's an honor to have that recognized by HousingWire with the Tech 100 award."

"One of the most exciting parts of my role at HousingWire is having a front-row seat to witness stunning innovation in mortgage and real estate," said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "HousingWire is dedicated to serving housing professionals with the full picture, and the full picture isn't complete without deep and insightful coverage and resources to help mortgage and real estate professionals uncover the innovators and solutions that drive growth and efficiency in the housing sector."

Since 2014, the HousingWire Tech100 has acknowledged impactful contributions to housing finance technology. View the full list of winners and read Dark Matter's company profile here: https://www.housingwire.com/company-profile/dark-matter-technologies/.
