Global DMS Launches SnapVal to Provide Instant, Accurate, Guaranteed Appraisal Pricing Early on in the Origination Process

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- MBA's Technology Solutions Conference & Expo -- Global DMS, a leading provider of cloud-based valuation management software, today announced the official rollout of SnapVal(TM), an automated solution that utilizes the property address to return a guaranteed price on any residential appraisal in the U.S.

Under the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule, lenders are bound by the fees represented on the Loan Estimate (LE). Unlike static fees, appraisals are a variable cost that lenders constantly struggle to ensure pricing accuracy. If there is any change to the appraisal fee, TRID dictates that a revised LE must be issued to the consumer. This requirement, coupled with strong lender motivation to complete deals and close on time, often results in the lender absorbing appraisal fee discrepancies or scrambling to quickly re-issue the LE.

"We identified a need in the marketplace to address a common problem that lenders are regularly challenged with in providing accurate appraisal quotes and then ensuring pricing on the Loan Estimate is consistent and compliant," stated Vladimir Bien-Aime, president and CEO at Global DMS.

"Lenders that have a digital mortgage strategy in place to receive, and in turn disclose accurate appraisal fees on the LE at first issuance will be a step ahead of competitors that haven't reconciled their workflows in this unforgiving zero-tolerance environment. SnapVal is a piece of technology that lenders currently lack from their digital mortgage strategies. By leveraging SnapVal, they will save time and money, as well as increase their pull-through rates while elevating the borrower experience."

SnapVal integrates seamlessly with loan origination systems (LOS), digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) systems, borrower-facing web portals and propriety lending or servicing platforms. Global DMS provides a configurable RESTful API web service that facilitates swift and cost-effective integrations.

SnapVal allows lenders to easily automate the insertion of the appraisal fee into the LE, expedite payment, and enable real-time ordering of appraisals from directly from within their software system of choice. Lenders have several options to configure appraisal pricing including the lowest price provider, percentage allocation, or round-robin distribution. This helps hone pricing accuracy by taking into account key factors including region, appraiser availability, experience, and more. As a result, appraisal pricing guesswork is removed and replaced with automation accuracy.

Bien-Aime adds, "Until now, lenders haven't had a viable option to receive an accurate appraisal cost upfront - before an order is placed. SnapVal allows lenders to get a guaranteed quote that will always be correct and will never have to be re-disclosed."

Global DMS will be attending the MBA's Technology Solutions Conference & Expo 2019 from March 24 - 27 in Dallas at the Hyatt Regency. To learn more, contact the company to arrange a discussion time at the show productinfo@globaldms.com.

About Global DMS:

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, Global DMS is a leading provider of cloud-based commercial and residential real estate valuation solutions catering to lenders, servicers, AMCs, appraisers and other real estate entities. The company's solution set is cost effectively delivered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) transactional basis that ensures compliance adherence, reduces costs, increases efficiencies and expedites the entire real estate appraisal process.

The company's solutions include its new EVO-Commercial(TM) (EVO-C) for commercial lending, eTrac(R) valuation management platform for residential lending, SnapVal(TM) appraisal pricing solution, eTrac WebForms, Global Kinex(R), AVMs, the MISMO Appraisal Review System (MARS(R)), AMC State Regulations, ATOM (Appraisal Tracking on Mobile) and AMCmatch.com.

NotaryCam-DocMagic Integration Delivers Remote Online Notarization, eClosing Capabilities for Mid America Mortgage

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the leader in online notarization solutions, today announced that eMortgage pioneer Mid America Mortgage is now using the firm's integration with DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, to conduct remote online notarizations (RONs) through DocMagic's Total eClose(TM) platform. Mid America will leverage the integration throughout its retail, correspondent and wholesale channels.

"Since 2016, Mid America's strategy has been 'digital first.' As a result, we have been able to condense our application-to-closing time down to just two weeks and our closing ceremony to 30 minutes or less with our digital mortgage product Click n' Close," said Mid America Owner and CEO Jeff Bode. "RON allows us to double down on our closing efficiency while also providing additional convenience to our customers. The addition of NotaryCam's remote notary services through our established eClosing partner DocMagic enables us to extend the value we've experienced to date through our digital mortgage strategy."

To date, NotaryCam has conducted more than 160,000 RON transactions for individuals located in all 50 states and 90 countries. Thanks to RON bills that have been passed by multiple states, Texas included, NotaryCam's team of highly trained and experienced notaries are able to remotely eNotarize mortgage loan documents or other paperwork for individuals across the country using NotaryCam's secure, easy-to-use platform. The system does not restrict the number of participants that can join a RON ceremony, allowing all relevant parties to participate in the transaction.

"Until recently, mortgage closings still required participants to physically congregate in a single location to complete the transaction. Today, RON enables lenders and settlement agents to eliminate the closing table without losing the personal connection of the closing ceremony," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "The value of the convenience that RON provides cannot be overstated, and it would behoove mortgage and settlement professionals to incorporate RON into their existing closing process."

Total eClose is DocMagic's comprehensive end-to-end eClosing solution. The integration with NotaryCam, which was first announced in September 2018, allows Mid America Mortgage and Click n' Close to eNotarize documents remotely using NotaryCam's RON service, eliminating the need for home buyers and sellers to physically appear before a notary to wet-sign loan documents.

"We continue to focus on implementing seamless digital closing solutions for our customers," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Mid America's accelerated processes highlight the benefits DocMagic delivers for both lenders and borrowers. The added efficiency of NotaryCam's RON solution is the logical next step and a key component to achieving 100% paperless eClosing transactions."

About NotaryCam:

After pioneering the world's first multi-party/multi-state remote online notarization (RON), career real estate executive Rick Triola founded NotaryCam and completed the first mortgage remote online closing (ROC) in 2014. Today, NotaryCam is the leader in online notarization and mortgage eClosing solutions, having notarized documents worldwide for hundreds of thousands of customers in all 50 states and over 90 countries.

OpenClose Extends its Digital Mortgage Ecosystem with New POS Offering – ConsumerAssist Digital POS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- OpenClose(R), an industry-leading multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) and mortgage fintech provider, announced that it is has scheduled a May release for the official rollout of its much anticipated digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) solution, ConsumerAssist(tm) Digital POS. This new integrated solution is a unique offering that combines a proven and mature 100 percent browser-based end-to-end LOS and PPE with new state-of-the-art dynamic digital mortgage POS technology.

As a single source vendor for digital POS, LOS, PPE and Business Intelligence, OpenClose is able to slash the loan manufacturing cost and complexity by eliminating the need to cobble together disparate systems with different SLAs, contracts and pricing models.

The self-service POS capabilities that ConsumerAssist Digital POS provides are state-of-the-art and feature rich. Lenders can now automate and organize numerous tasks that would normally be performed in the back-office via the LOS, and push them closer to borrowers earlier in the origination process. As a result, workflow efficiencies increase, the lending process is sped up, costs are reduced and new business is captured at a higher rate and lower cost.

"We feel that lenders leveraging the efficiencies of a single consolidated platform will be able to most effectively sustain and increase profitability in an environment with more competition for fewer loans and tighter margins," says JP Kelly, president of OpenClose.

Jason Regalbuto, CEO / CTO of OpenClose, adds: "Borrowers today and in the future are expecting streamlined experiences with extreme ease of use and automation like Amazon and Uber offer. Mortgage origination and lending involve very complex processes. We think with ConsumerAssist Digital POS, we have significantly reimagined these processes and workflows for the future and the expectations that borrowers have. We've effectively closed the loop between POS and LOS."

Key feature & benefits of OpenClose's new digital POS and LOS platform:

* Consumer-facing website can be customized to reflect the lender's own branding
* Elegant, intuitive screens and wizards swiftly walks borrowers through the entire application process
* Instant Verification of Employment (VOE)
* Instant Verification of Income (VOI)
* Instant Verification of Assets (VOA)
* Instant Verification of Tax Returns
* Automated loan conditioning
* Secure document capture and tracking
* Real-time messaging between borrower, loan officer and other relevant parties
* Activities calendar monitors when tasks are due and auto-sends email reminders and/or text notifications
* Affinity portal connects realtor, builder and settlement partners to the manufacturing process
* Ability to access the system on any mobile device or tablet.

OpenClose is incorporating into ConsumerAssist Digital POS their DecisionAssist(tm) product and pricing engine, automated underwriting capability, fee calculation engine and more.

OpenClose also offers ConsumerAssist(tm) Web which helps establish a consumer direct lending channel by developing websites that engage borrowers with tools to perform much of the application and loan qualification process themselves without involving a salesperson. ConsumerAssist Web can be combined with ConsumerAssist Digital POS, together dubbed ConsumerAssist(tm) Enterprise, to offer comprehensive self-service technology that manages the bulk of the origination process for lenders.

OpenClose recently announced the availability of a robust RESTful API Suite that the company developed to enable quick system-to-system integrations, seamless data exchange and execution of transactions. In addition to making integrations easier to complete, it further lowers lender costs, which is a key focus of OpenClose as their customers operate in a margin compressed business climate.

The company will be exhibiting in booth 800 at the MBA's Technology Solutions Conference & Expo 2019 from March 24 - 27 in Dallas at the Hyatt Regency. To learn more, visit the booth or contact the company to arrange a meeting time: sales@openclose.com.

Quandis Adds Automated Monitoring Feature to its Military Search Service for SCRA Compliance

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Quandis, Inc., a leading default management mortgage technology provider, announced that it incorporated functionality into its Military Search service that empowers clients with the ability to easily customize real-time monitoring data analysis that is more explicit and inclusive in nature, returning the most granular searches in the industry for active military personnel along with detailed reporting.

Quandis Military Search (QMS) is an all-in-one solution that verifies up-to-the-second information on active duty military status to help organizations comply with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) of 2003, which has stringent rules and processes that must be followed before starting mortgage foreclosure proceedings on borrowers that hold active duty status in the United States military. Stiff fines, penalties and lawsuits can result from active military personnel that are improperly pursued in the default process.

The new functionality works by providing organizations with the ability to define "monitoring cycles" for their data, which automatically runs SCRA searches using both client defined criteria and schedules. The continual search cycles allow for comparison of key SCRA data points over time thus identifying any changes in SCRA eligibility. The expanded functionality reports on specific data points as defined by unique client needs.

"Our development of QMS monitoring takes SCRA compliance adherence a step further by putting users in full control of their data and preferences as to how, when and to what degree of finality they would like to execute searches," explained Greg Kent, vice president of data services at Quandis. "Our clients no longer require IT resources to compare and detect SCRA status changes."

QMS delivers a highly accurate, cost effective, easy method for combing the Department of Defense (DoD) database to identify all possible name variations and aliases, complete with name permutations to reduce the risk of missing a borrower that has active duty status. An official military status report and certificate is returned from the DoD within 24 hours demonstrating proof of compliance.

QMS automates bulk as well as individual searches and can be used as a standalone solution or as integrated with leading attorney case management systems (CMS), servicing platforms and legacy applications to return and populate search certificates along with relevant data. The solution is being successfully leveraged by foreclosure attorneys, servicers, lenders, banks and third party outsourcing providers.

Quandis is a HousingWire Tech 100 company, has been named a Top 50 Service Provider by Mortgage Technology magazine multiple years in a row, and QMS also received a mortgage technology product-based award commendation from SourceMedia.

Mortgage Capital Trading Scores High Marks in Overall Satisfaction, Lender Loyalty, and Functionality Effectiveness According to Recent Study by STRATMOR Group

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that the 2018 STRATMOR Technology Insight Study rated MCT as the leader in overall satisfaction, lender loyalty, and functionality effectiveness in the production pipeline hedging industry, according to survey respondents.

According to STRATMOR Group, "72 percent of respondents use third-party tools for Production Pipeline Hedging and 29.9 percent chose Mortgage Capital Trading (MCT) to conduct these analyses. Further, MCT's Lender Loyalty Score value is an impressive 81; 20 points higher than the overall average score."

The STRATMOR Group study results were gathered from a broad group of lender executives with the goal of providing lenders with data on the technology solutions available in the market today. Of the executives who responded to the survey, 45 percent were the head of, or part of, the technology department. Additionally, more than two-thirds of respondents were independent mortgage bankers, while 31 percent were banks or credit unions.

"There's never been a better time to be at MCT," said Curtis Richins, President of MCT. "We have so many new technologies and innovations rolling out that everybody is excited about the future. We're proud clients still experience the same boutique-style customer service despite our rapid growth."

In the study, MCT was ranked the leader in overall satisfaction and functionality effectiveness ratings. Survey respondents gave MCT an overall satisfaction score of 9.1 out of 10, compared to the overall average satisfaction rating of 8.3. Additionally, MCT was the highest-rated vendor across nine areas of functionality effectiveness, including margin tracking, ease of use, reporting capabilities, and overall customer support. The majority of clients rated MCT as "highly effective / competitively advantaged" in eight of the nine functionality effectiveness areas.

"We're very pleased with the results of STRATMOR's 2018 Technology Insight Survey," says Richins. "The results reflect MCT's relentless mission to provide clients with ground-breaking new technology, such as the recently released bid tape AOT tri-party agreement automation within the Bid Auction Manager (BAM) whole loan trading platform."

"Before the Tri-Party automation, I had to write in all the fields, print and attach all the confirms, sign, scan, and send for every assignment-of-trade," said Andrew Stringer, Directory of Secondary and Capital Markets at First Bank in a recently published case study. "Without the automation, I probably wouldn't bother with AOT transactions very often, because the time cost might outweigh the pickup."

DocMagic Teams with the Art To Grow On Children’s Art Center to Provide 100 Customized Holiday Art Boxes for Patients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., a comprehensive eMortgage software solutions provider, announced that it has purchased 100 custom designed Art Boxes to Art To Grow On Children's Art Center Inc., which delivered the Art Boxes to patients being treated at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), a non-profit, pediatric academic medical center that provides patient care, education, and leading-edge research to help children in need.

Each Art Box contains a master artist lesson inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a holiday frame, a journal, a sketchbook, colorful markers, wooden cars, hearts or animals for coloring and decorating, and foam snowflakes or snowman with holiday stickers.

"We are grateful to DocMagic for realizing the immense value that our Art Boxes provide children who are being cared for at Children's Hospital Los Angeles," said Lauren Dennis-Perelmuter, founder and president at Art To Grow On Children's Art Center, Inc. "These Art Boxes accomplish something that other gifts such as one-time use toys and electronic devices are unable to do. They give children a respite from the daily realities of staying in a hospital, inspiring and allowing their imagination to soar, their critical thinking skills to be exercised and refined, and their self-esteem and self-confidence to be elevated. These essential life skills are critical not only in the healing process, but brings joy and relief to them directly during their stay at the hospital."

Notable is that the Children's Art Center worked tirelessly for more than a year prior to creating and packaging the Art Boxes, going through an extensive vetting process to ensure that they were non-toxic and environmentally safe for patients residing in a medicinal setting. The Girl Scouts and other community volunteers joined forces to assemble to boxes, which was a very hands-on and involved group effort. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUhMt1MNDMI&feature=youtu.be

Perelmuter says that the Art Boxes become a one-of-a-kind, very rewarding memory not only for the children, but for their families trying to bring a sense of normalcy to their lives while in a hospital. She adds that the right kind of exposure to art not only gives children opportunities to invent, create, innovate and discover, but also allows them to become optimal, independent thinkers and problem solvers who possess strengthened imaginations.

"We are honored to participate and happy to help with this noble and highly creative cause that Art To Grow On Children's Art Center is providing kids at Children's Hospital Los Angeles," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "DocMagic is proud to be a part of having a very unique and positive impact on the lives of these children, opening up a new world of creativity and imagination that they themselves construct."

DocMagic is an award-winning Southern California-based software firm that automates key parts of the mortgage lending process, ensuring compliance, increasing efficiencies, making what can a confusing and complex undertaking for borrowers much easier, while at the same time removing enormous amounts of paper that lenders and borrowers traditionally deal with. The company is known for its charity work and philanthropy efforts both locally and nationally.

Perelmuter says that the art boxes will be delivered through January 1 for the holiday season but they can also be purchased anytime throughout the year. They are ideal for a myriad of different occasions. Anyone can order the boxes from individuals, to families, schools, Girls Scouts, Boys Scouts, organizations, companies, and other entities.

MCT Hires Industry Veteran Rhiannon Bolen as Regional Sales Manager to Satisfy Increasing Demand for its Product and Service Offerings

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that Rhiannon Bolen has joined the company's sales team as one of its Regional Sales Managers and will be responsible for overseeing the Southern territory.

"We are pleased to have Rhiannon join our growing sales team, who has a diverse background dedicated to the mortgage industry with a focus on sales expansion," said Curtis Richins, president at MCT. "As a company, MCT has added a number of new innovative capital markets focused services and technology that has created increasing marketplace demand and thus opened up new revenue opportunities for us that require experienced salespeople like Rhiannon to help manage."

Rhiannon comes to MCT most recently from Lenders One where she held the position of Regional AVP for the Western Region, working with mortgage lenders of all types to arrive at various solutions that help reduce business costs and stay ahead of industry trends pertaining to processes and technology.

Prior to Lenders One, Rhiannon was the Regional Vice President of South Region Field Sales for Arch Mortgage Insurance. At Arch, she helped hire and train a team of Account Managers and was responsible for creating sales strategies and managing and developing various territories which led to over achievement of sales production goals. Before Arch, Rhiannon spent much of her career in the credit risk space working in regional and national outside sales roles in the mortgage insurance industry.

"I am excited to join MCT, which has become a clear industry leader in hedge advisory services and secondary marketing software," stated Bolen. "MCT is known as a forward-thinking organization that has a sterling reputation among its lender clients, partners, and the investor community. The company is comprised of an extraordinary group of highly dedicated, passionate secondary marketing professionals that are constantly innovating and providing next-level client service. In any role that I've been in, my goal has always been to help my clients be more successful. Given MCT's position in the market amongst our competition, our ability to innovate and our un-wavering focus on dedicated client support, I really see this as an opportunity to help my clients leverage our offerings to better improve their capital markets strategies."

Rhiannon has been off to the races in her new role starting with the MBA's Annual Conference & Expo held in Washington, D.C. in October 2018. More details on Rhiannon's role, territory, and contact information can be found on the MCT website: https://mct-trading.com/contact/

MCT Moves to Secure Sensitive Borrower Data Exposed in 90 Percent of Secondary Market Transactions

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that it is incorporating the company's patent-pending geocoding technology into its Bid Auction Manager(TM) (BAM) whole loan trading platform in order to shield borrower addresses from being shared with non-buying entities throughout the whole loan bidding process.

"Concealing borrower addresses for whole loan bids is the most recent step that MCT is taking to heighten data security while protecting borrowers and lenders," stated Phil Rasori, COO and Head Trader at MCT. "We estimate that upwards of 90 percent of all secondary marketing transactions expose borrower addresses to non-buying bidders. The only investor that should eventually see the property address is the one that wins the loan. MCT's proprietary BAM Geocoder enables investors to price LMI-CRA incentives without the address."

Historically, only a handful of non-identifying data points were used to determine loan pricing in the secondary market. However, the advent of Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requirements and spec pay-ups combined with the rapid adoption of delivery via bid tapes resulted in the full property address being disclosed to bidders in the majority of transactions executed over the last several years.

While clear contract terms typically govern borrower data usage for the whole loan buyer and seller, they generally fail to address the non-buying bidders, according to a review of MCT's lender clients. This can be a sensitive area for some parties, in particular for EPO (early pay off) and servicing pre-payments, as refinancing terms do not take into account safeguards for borrower loan data during the bidding process.

Mr. Rasori added, "Ensuring that our systems and processes are as secure as possible is always of the highest importance. We are confident that this new level of protection will become the standard in the near future, and we're proud to lead the industry in this direction."

Notable is that MCT recently implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) security protocols into its MCTlive! capital markets software, requiring multiple methods to verify a user's identity for logins and transactions. In July of 2017, MCT officially rolled out its award-winning BAM platform, in part, to migrate sensitive borrower data contained in bid tapes off of email to a centralized, secure platform.

Company officials at MCT say that the geocode-enabled conversion process has already begun with investors; addresses will be completely removed from all MCT bid tapes by 2019. The proprietary BAM Geocoder is patent-pending and available for license to third-parties interested in increasing transaction security.

Investors or lenders interested in the status of the conversion process for their transactions should reach out to Phil Rasori via email at prasori@mctrade.net.

QRL Leverages DocMagic’s eVault Technology to Purchase eNotes from Correspondent Clients

ANAHEIM, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Annual CUNA Lending Council Conference -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that QRL Financial Services (QRL), a nationwide provider of residential mortgage lending services for community banks and credit unions, has leveraged its eVault technology to purchase eNotes. The announcement was made during the 24th Annual CUNA Lending Council Conference at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, Calif.

Implementing an eVault means QRL can increase new business by extending its reach to lenders that are ready to implement eClosings and sell eNotes. In addition to providing improved service, they will competitively position themselves for the future. The deal will make QRL one of the first investors outside of the GSEs to begin purchasing eNotes.

"QRL is a farsighted organization, and by implementing eVault technology now, they stand to capitalize on marketplace opportunities as eNotes continue to gain adoption," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "We tend to partner with early adopters like QRL, who will reap the benefits of their industry insight. We look forward to the success they realize by utilizing our eVault and supporting technology."

Because QRL is using DocMagic's SmartDocs, all documents retain a tamper evident seal to ensure data and document integrity. Using static documents, that don't include SmartDoc transactional (XML) metadata, means some organizations have the difficult, costly and time-consuming task of confirming that data and documents are in sync.

"Offering a truly paperless solution is the future. Consumers will expect and demand a closing experience that is more timely, convenient and informative," says Alex Rivera, managing director at QRL Financial Services. "QRL's ability to purchase and service eNotes will allow the credit unions and community banks that we service to stay ahead of the technology curve as they compete with the larger institutions in the race to improve the mortgage experience."

The solution will also create greater secondary market process efficiencies because of reduced cycle times. QRL will be able to fund faster with fewer post-closing document issues.

DocMagic and QRL will be attending the 24th Annual CUNA Lending Council Conference from October 28-31, 2018 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, Calif. The companies can be contacted at michael@docmagic.com for DocMagic and sales@qrlfinancial.com for QRL.

DocMagic developed Total eClose(TM), a comprehensive solution that enables a 100 percent paperless eClosing process from start to finish using a single-source vendor.

"Getting over the adoption hump starts with ease of use and adequate training so users feel comfortable conducting business within the eMortgage ecosystem," stated Andrew Liput, president of Secure Insight. "We partnered with DocMagic because their Total eClose solution is one of the easiest and most intuitive in the industry, which is conducive to adoption for title agents, attorneys and notaries to understand and leverage."

Secure Insight has an extensive database of more than 70,000 closing professionals that can take advantage of this vital training program, which provides the educational foundation that paves the way for their business practices to include eMortgages and eClosings. Lenders are increasingly seeking well-qualified professionals to work with and this wide-scale training program is poised to significantly move the adoption needle.

Company officials at Secure Insight say their ultimate goal is to become the industry's go-to resource for lenders to access settlement professionals who are well-trained in eClosings, similar to what the Nationwide Multi-state Licensing System & Registry (NMLS) provides for loan officers. Lenders can provide a list of approved title companies and Secure Insight then works to implement a common and consistent process for training on a national level.

Tim Anderson, director of eServices at DocMagic stated: "The new training program and centralized database will provide key information and knowledge for professionals about our industry-leading Total eClose technology and assist lenders in locating professionals who are qualified to leverage it for the benefit of consumers. Further, one of the primary issues it solves is that in a purchase market, lenders really don't choose the settlement professionals and typically don't have direct relationships with them either nor the dedicated resources to continually train them to effectively support full eClosings. The online training eMortgage Education Module helps alleviate this impediment."

The online training is officially set to launch on November 15, 2018 and will be available through a link on Secure Insight's website. To learn more, contact Secure Insight at info@secureinsight.com or (877) 758-7878.

DocMagic Teams with Several Southern California Non-Profit Groups and Organizations in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has donated a shipment of its popular custom-made pink bunny slippers, which will be handed out at a blood drive event for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Twenty percent of all donated blood will be given to cancer treatment and research.

The upcoming event is being hosted by Golden Heart LA, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children who suffer from life-threatening diseases or disabilities, and IET Capital, a real estate financing firm. Hundreds of the soft, fuzzy slippers will be on hand; anyone who participates in the event is welcome to a pair as part of the fun spirited giveaway.

Founded in 1987 by Dominic Iannitti, DocMagic has had a long-time mascot named "Doc," a bunny that has become a recognizable part of DocMagic's brand within the mortgage industry. In 2016, the bunny slippers were officially introduced and handed out at a mortgage technology convention where they ended up being in surprisingly high demand. Over the years the slippers have grown in popularity.

"I was at a mortgage trade show and was asked by a cancer survivor if she could have a pair for a friend going through chemo and that's what spawned the idea to donate them to worthy causes," stated Margaret Wendt, a strategic business advisor and consultant for DocMagic. "Given that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to offer participants, donors and volunteers at this important blood drive something fun to take home. If the pink slippers bring a simple smile to someone's face, then it's a win in our book."

Incidentally, IET Capital, a sponsor of the event, happens to be a mortgage originator and an actual end user of DocMagic's loan document preparation software, which is a widely utilized technology in the mortgage banking industry.

Event Details:
* What: a dual-purpose event to support Breast Cancer Awareness month and donate blood
* When: Saturday, October 13
* Time: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. PDT
* Location: 8056 Telegraph Road, Suite A in Downey, CA 90240 - inside the Bloodmobile.

LifeStream says that it is proud to join local and national organizations to increase breast cancer awareness. To make a contribution or donate blood, people can show up at the event or contact LifeStream to make an appointment at 800-879-4484 or visit their website https://www.lstream.org/expresspass.

MCT Adds Investors to Bid Tape AOT Tri-Party Agreement Automation in its Bid Auction Manager (BAM) Platform

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct. 5, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that new investor bid tape assignment-of-trade (AOT) loan sale executions are now available for sellers using its BAM whole loan trading platform. These new executions will benefit from automation of the required Tri-Party Agreement, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency for what is already a game-changing delivery option for the secondary market.

The most recent investor to announce the availability of a bid tape AOT program is Amerihome Mortgage Company, who began the process of opening the execution to approved sellers as of Monday, October 1, 2018. MCT is also proud to join PennyMac Loan Services' bid tape AOT pilot program, with a launch date for MCT mutual clients tentatively slated for October 8, 2018.

Offering a bid tape AOT loan sale delivery option has rapidly become a priority for leading correspondent investors. This new execution combines the granularity of price available via bid tape with the cash benefits of assigning the trade, which have historically been mutually exclusive.

According to MCT's Chief Operating Officer, Phil Rasori, "Under the right conditions, bid tape AOT offers a prescriptive economic value over other executions. For this and other reasons, we're seeing widespread interest and rapid adoption among our lender clients."

The benefits and challenges of these new bid tape AOT executions will be presented in a complimentary industry webinar hosted by Mr. Rasori on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 11 a.m. PDT. Register: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1084824745332320258.

In August 2018, MCT released a first-of-its-kind technology to automate the Tri-Party Agreement required between lenders, investors, and broker dealers during AOT transactions in the secondary market. This requirement was one of the final hurdles in the AOT process. Manual completion of these agreements for each transaction was not only extremely inefficient, but it also introduced additional risk into the process via the potential for data entry discrepancies.

"Before the Tri-Party automation, I had to write in all the fields, print and attach all the confirms, sign, scan, and send for every AOT," said Andrew Stringer, Director of Secondary/Capital Markets at First Bank. "Without the Tri-Party automation, I probably wouldn't bother with bid tape AOT transactions very often, because the time cost might outweigh the pickup."

After beta testing bid tape AOT with select Wells Fargo sellers early in 2018, MCT rolled out the execution across their award-winning Bid Auction Manager(TM) (BAM) loan sale best execution platform in May. Lenders or investors interested in learning more about bid tape AOT executions are invited to join MCT for a complimentary industry webinar on Thursday, October 11 at 11 a.m. PDT hosted by Phil Rasori, COO. MCT will also be available for in-person meetings and demonstrations at the MBA's Annual Convention & Expo, held October 14-17, 2018 in Washington, D.C.

Mortgage Capital Trading Adds Multi-Factor Authentication to its MCTlive! Secondary Marketing Software

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that it has implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) security protocols, which require multiple methods to verify a user's identity for logins and transactions.

"We live in an era where security sensitivities and breaches are increasingly common occurrences within organizations and their technology stacks," says Phil Rasori, COO at MCT. "In order to most effectively protect our clients, their data and transactions, we felt that it was a prudent time to implement MFA into our MCTlive! secondary marketing software as a logical safeguard in order to maintain high levels of security."

MCT's new MFA technology uses Google Authenticator for MCTlive! security where the user must not only log into the platform with their credentials, but also receive a unique code from their mobile device that expires after 30 seconds. In addition, MCTlive! password requisites have been strengthened.

MFA can be configured for particular MCTlive! users to be multi-factor, or for others to have simpler, quicker password access. MCT puts the ease of internal controls in the hands of the lender when it comes to user log on and security, which is very granular. In addition, detailed reporting can be easily produced at any time which timestamps each user's log in attempts and security methods used.

"The security of our borrowers' information is paramount for First Bank, particularly with data breaches seeming to become more and more common," stated Andrew Stringer, Director of Secondary/Capital Markets at First Bank, an MCT client. "Multi-factor authentication in MCTlive! adds an additional layer of protection that not only gives me peace of mind knowing our data is protected, but also demonstrates proactive ways our secondary department is mitigating risk for the bank."

Multi-factor authentication is the latest addition in MCT's ongoing effort to lead the secondary mortgage market toward stronger data security. In July of 2017, MCT launched its Bid Auction Manager (BAM) technology to migrate sensitive borrower data contained in bid tapes off of email to a secure platform. By October 2017, BAM had achieved 100 percent adoption among the investor community and was awarded PROGRESS in Lending Association's 2018 Innovation Award in April.

Lenders interested in improving data security with MCTlive! and BAM should schedule a consultation via screenshare or in-person at the MBA's Annual Convention & Expo in Washington, DC.

Prior to that, Mark was a senior business consultant and project manager at Fiserv Lending Solutions for more than fifteen years.

In addition, he has held senior business analyst and project manager roles at banks, mega lenders and an investment firm focusing on outsourced technology solutions for mortgage originators, secondary market conduits and investors. This unique combination of lender and vendor experience arms him with highly sought after mortgage experience and is an extraordinary addition to the OpenClose Integration team.

"We are pleased to welcome Mark to the OpenClose family and know that he will have an immediate impact," said Jason Regalbuto, CEO/CTO of OpenClose. "Mark has a very rich, through-and-through background in the mortgage industry, working for both lenders and mortgage software firms. He's exactly the type of professional we like to hire to advance our enterprise. "

As a result of an increasing demand for OpenClose's multi-channel LOS and other digital mortgage solutions, OpenClose has made a number of new hires in nearly all functional areas during 2018 in order to effectively support new and existing customers.

Freddie Mac Expands eMortgage Solutions with DocMagic’s eVault Technology to Store and Control eNotes

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced today that Freddie Mac has implemented its SaaS-based eVault technology and SmartREGISTRY(TM) platform.

DocMagic's eVault provides a secure electronic repository for storing documents and performing automated eNote certification to Freddie Mac eMortgage lenders via Loan Selling Advisor(R). By automating the eNote certification process, Freddie Mac will speed the funding process, thereby improving liquidity in the mortgage markets and reducing lender's warehouse line costs.

"Freddie Mac is committed to streamlining the mortgage process for lenders and borrowers, and has been a leader in purchasing eMortgages since 2006," said Andy Higgenbotham, Freddie Mac's Single Family Chief Operating Officer. "We rolled out our automated certification process in 2015 to speed up the funding process, thereby improving liquidity in the mortgage markets and reducing lender's warehouse line costs. We are now expanding this process to include the DocMagic platform."

DocMagic's eVault provides safe and secure storage for sensitive loan documents. It also automatically parses and validates data in a SmartDoc eNote against data in the user's core system of record. Additionally, DocMagic's SmartREGISTRY platform enables holders of eNotes to securely transfer these electronic documents to other eVault systems, such as those used by investors, conduit aggregators and servicers. Ultimately, it facilitates real-time access, delivery, storage and much needed control of electronic loan files.

"Freddie Mac has been a long-time visionary and champion of eMortgages over the years and has made great strides with their unwavering commitment to automation across the supply chain," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO at DocMagic. "Now, with the successful rollout of SmartDoc eNote data validation prior to funding, this demonstrates the advantages and a clear-cut ROI of going completely 'e.' We look forward to ongoing collaboration with Freddie Mac and to further adoption of the digital mortgage process."

Notable is that that Freddie Mac encourages the use of 'SMART' (securable, manageable, archivable, retrievable, transferable) eNotes because static documents do not contain source data, and thus make it difficult, costly and time consuming to confirm the data on documents match.

DocMagic established a process that guides lenders on how to begin using SmartDoc eNotes. The company's eVault technology is integrated with its Total eClose(TM) platform, which is a comprehensive eClosing solution that creates a 100 percent paperless digital mortgage process - from origination through eClosing, eWarehouse lending, investor eDelivery and eServicing.

(MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced new functionality that delivers real-time pricing and automates loan committing for Freddie Mac clients. MCT's lender clients receive the pricing information seamlessly via its integrated capital markets technology platform, MCTlive! MCT is the first vendor to have successfully completed the first commitment via Freddie Mac's new API technology.

After completing Best Execution Analysis and determining loans to be sold to Freddie Mac, lenders use Rapid Commit functionality which intelligently completes product selection and delivers commitments for all loans with a single click. MCTlive! Rapid Commit interfaces bi-directionally with Freddie Mac's Loan Selling Advisor system in real-time.

"We are proud to leverage the system-to-system Pricing and Commitment functionalities within the newly released Freddie Mac APIs," stated Phil Rasori, COO at MCT. "This integration is a significant step on our road map for increased technology collaboration with Freddie Mac for the benefit of our mutual lender clients."

MCTlive! Rapid Commit functionality speeds up the committing process, ensures data integrity, and optimizes best execution for all commitments. Working within MCTlive!, users leverage Rapid Commit to run initial best execution, confirm Freddie Mac eligibility, and analyze the optimal subset sizes and products to deliver as individual commitments. MCTlive! has converted a once manual process to a completely automated and efficient solution.

MCT and Freddie Mac look forward to continuing to collaborate for the benefit of mutual clients. Lenders interested in leveraging MCT Rapid Commit to improve their loan sale process should schedule a consultation.
