PROGRESS in Lending has been highlighting breakthrough achievements in housing finance technology since 2011. New this year, the association’s first annual Game Changer award spotlights 17 of the most innovative solutions that are changing the mortgage process for the better.

Argyle was recognized for replacing the mortgage industry’s long-standing reliance on manual, outdated income and employment verification methods with a real-time, consumer-permissioned experience. Unlike legacy solutions that depend on static databases and manual paperwork, Argyle gives lenders direct, digital access to payroll and employer systems with borrower consent—eliminating delays, reducing costs and enhancing transparency. The platform integrates directly into lenders’ existing workflows, from point-of-sale and loan origination systems to automated underwriting systems.

Argyle recently expanded its platform to include verification of assets powered by Mastercard’s open banking technology, broadening its support for lenders with a single, consumer-permissioned platform for income, employment and asset verification.

“This award affirms Argyle’s commitment to transforming the mortgage lending process,” said Shmulik Fishman, CEO at Argyle. “We’ve eliminated outdated verification methods that create delays and costs and replaced them with an efficient, embedded experience that works seamlessly within the tools lenders already use.”

Lenders that leverage Argyle’s flexible verification platform reduce verification costs by up to 80%, reduce loan processing timelines by as much as a week and boost application pull-through. The platform delivers complete, refreshable data that supports rep and warrant relief, helping lenders minimize defects, enhance salability and reduce secondary market risk. Borrowers, meanwhile, benefit from a faster, easier loan experience that puts them in control of their own financial data—no uploading documents, no repeated requests.

Argyle-nCino integration garners industry accolades for reshaping VOIE workflows

PROGRESS in Lending's 2025 Connections award recognizes Argyle's enhanced integration with nCino

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., June 11, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Argyle, a service provider automating income and employment verifications for some of the largest lenders in the United States, today announced that its integration with nCino, a leading provider of intelligent, best-in-class banking and mortgage solutions, has been honored with PROGRESS in Lending’s 2025 Connections Award. The award celebrates transformative partnerships and integrations reshaping the mortgage industry through greater efficiency, innovation and collaboration.

Image caption: Argyle.

Initially launched in 2022, the Argyle–nCino partnership brought a fully digital verification of income and employment (VOIE) experience to more than 370 mortgage companies and 52,000 loan officers. Earlier in 2025, the integration expanded to embed Argyle’s VOIE solution directly into nCino’s Form 1003 workflow, enabling end-to-end connectivity from borrower authorization to automated underwriting.

“This award recognizes what happens when two technology leaders align and modernize mortgage workflows from the ground up,” said Shmulik Fishman, CEO at Argyle. “Together with nCino, we’re proving that it’s possible to connect borrower data from the source to the secondary market with less manual work, fewer delays and a much better experience for everyone involved.”

The integration allows lenders to verify income and employment within nCino’s point-of-sale system in real-time, removing the need for third-party portals or borrower document uploads. Verified data flows seamlessly into loan origination systems (LOS) like Encompass and onward to automated underwriting systems such as Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter® and Freddie Mac’s Loan Product Advisor®.

With this streamlined, embedded approach, lenders using Argyle have reduced processing time by 5–7 days and lowered verification costs by up to 80%. Borrowers benefit from a faster, easier application process, while lenders gain access to complete VOIE data that improves underwriting confidence and eligibility for rep and warrant relief.

Cloudvirga honored with PROGRESS in Lending’s 2025 Connections Award

The award recognizes Cloudvirga's integration with Informative Research for transforming income and employment verification in mortgage lending

IRVINE, Calif., June 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cloudvirga, a leading provider of digital mortgage point-of-sale platforms, today announced it has been named a recipient of PROGRESS in Lending’s 2025 Connections Award. The award honors strategic partnerships and integrations that are reshaping the mortgage industry by advancing efficiency, innovation, and collaboration.

Image caption: Cloudvirga.

Cloudvirga received recognition for its integration with Informative Research, a trusted verification and data solutions provider for mortgage lenders. The partnership enables seamless access to Informative Research’s verification of income (VOI) and verification of employment (VOE) tools directly within Cloudvirga’s feature-rich digital mortgage solutions. These include Horizon, a retail and consumer-direct point-of-sale (POS) platform designed to empower both borrowers and loan officers; Horizon Wholesale, a purpose-built POS for third-party origination that puts brokers in control; and Tropos, a customer-first loan portal that unifies the borrower experience across loan types and channels. By embedding a configurable, multi-provider verification waterfall at the point of sale, the integration delivers verified results in seconds—reducing delays, costs and friction across the loan lifecycle.

“In today’s lending environment, operational speed and borrower experience are everything,” said Maria Moskver, CEO of Cloudvirga. “Our collaboration with Informative Research helps lenders accelerate loan origination while simplifying one of the most painful parts of the mortgage process. We’re honored to be recognized by PROGRESS in Lending for a partnership that’s truly moving the industry forward.”

Using dynamic rules, the joint solution allows lenders to automate VOI/VOE workflows. If one provider cannot fulfill a verification, the system automatically advances to the next, returning a complete report and populating verified data directly into the loan file. This eliminates the need for borrowers to submit W-2s, pay stubs or employer letters manually and ensures clean data is available for underwriting.

By combining Cloudvirga’s front-end efficiency with Informative Research’s flexible verification engine, the partnership helps lenders reduce costs by up to 80%, cut processing timelines by 5–7 days and significantly improve borrower satisfaction. It’s a model for how integrations can transform key moments in the lending process—and help lenders build stronger, more scalable operations.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- OpenClose®, the leading fintech provider of residential mortgage software solutions for banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders, announced that its product delivery manager, Mitch Swanson, has been recognized as a Next Gen Leader within the industry by PROGRESS in Lending Association.

The Next Gen Leader award highlights rising visionaries and thought leaders who have been in the mortgage industry for 15 years or less. PROGRESS in Lending states that the winners encompass a wide range of mortgage professionals with diverse skill sets that have one commonality: helping their companies make a difference for the good of the industry. Winners of the award are creative, out-of-the-box thinkers who go beyond what's expected, are not afraid to step forward and blaze a new trail, and constantly offer bold new ideas.

Mitch Swanson, PMP has spent his entire career in the mortgage industry working for both mortgage lenders and mortgage technology vendors. This rich blend of vendor and lender experience gives him unique industry insight to better assist lenders in optimizing the use of OpenClose's solution suite.

"I am elated that the judges at PROGRESS in Lending put me on the 2022 list of young, emerging leaders who are making a difference in the mortgage industry," said Swanson. "I have been dedicated to the mortgage industry from day one and am committed to helping lenders maximize operational efficiencies via technology. I look forward to working with more lenders and introducing them to OpenClose's suite of mortgage software solutions."

At OpenClose, Mitch has been integral with delivering the company's borrower direct lending automation solution, ConsumerAssist™. This self-service model flourished throughout the refinance boom, helping lenders manage an influx of loan applications, and is now being leveraged to cut costs while offering borrowers a superb lending experience. ConsumerAssist has been implemented with great success at banks, credit unions, and independent mortgage banks thanks to Mitch's leadership and innovation.

Mitch has also worked on OpenClose's Assist series that automate specific lending functions for a wide variety of customer types. In addition to onboarding new customers onto the ConsumerAssist platform, Mitch constantly works on product enhancements that deliver innovative solutions that increase borrower satisfaction and lender efficiencies.

One of Mitch's latest initiatives includes creating a three-tiered pre-approval process based on confidence levels calculated with inputs from third party verification services. This process will have the ability to generate pre-approval letters with little to no contact with a loan officer. Consequently, it will dramatically improve a buyer's chance at securing a property to purchase while reducing the number of resources required to generate an accurate pre-approval. Mitch's efforts are ongoing, as he continually works with the OpenClose team and its customers to further enhance OpenClose's software solutions.

DocMagic Wins 2016 Innovation Award for its SmartCLOSE TRID Collaborative Closing Portal

TORRANCE, Calif., April 27, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions, announced that PROGRESS in Lending presented the company with one of its annual Innovation Awards for the development and widely successful launch of its industry-leading SmartCLOSE(TM) collaborative closing portal for TRID compliance. DocMagic was one of only seven recipients to receive the honor out of numerous applicants.

The Innovation Awards were presented to the winners at a ceremony held by the mortgage technology focused PROGRESS in Lending Association at the MBA's National Technology Mortgage Banking conference held in Los Angeles, California. Judges scored applications using a weighted scale that focuses on achievements over a 12 month period for each innovation's overall industry significance, originality, positive change on the industry, intangible efficiencies gained, and hard return on investment.

PROGRESS in Lending cited the primary reason DocMagic won the award, was that early on the company developed a second-to-none, comprehensive solution that effectively addresses the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) introduction of the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule, which is backed by numerous testimonials and extensive metrics. Notable is that DocMagic IS one of the few vendors that reps and warrant its documents, the APR, Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure calculations. In addition, DocMagic offers a one-of-a-kind insurance-backed TRID compliance guarantee of up to $5 million.

"Many technology vendors simply jumped on the TRID bandwagon, announcing very light solutions that lack core functionality and were unable to automate the new process from start to finish and ensure 100 percent compliance," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "SmartCLOSE leverages our long-standing, sophisticated compliance and document management technology to bring lenders, settlement providers and other relevant parties together inside a secure collaborative portal to share, edit, validate, audit, track, and collaborate on documents, data, and fees."

About DocMagic:

DocMagic, Inc. is the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Torrance, Calif., DocMagic, Inc. develops software, mobile apps, processes and web-based systems for the production and delivery of compliant loan document packages.
