TeamSnap Debuts New Video Platform This Fall

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sharing video highlights during the game is now possible for any spectator. TeamSnap, the household name in integrated sports management, announced today it is partnering with Fantag, a pioneer in video highlight technology, to debut video highlights on its popular TeamSnap Live! platform for the first time this fall.

TeamSnap Live!, which allows fans to stay connected to the game experience through real-time sharing of scores, photos, play-by-plays and sideline banter, will now enable spectators to record, tag key plays and share video clips instantly with teammates, coaches, family and friends.

"Capturing and sharing video from a game - particularly the special highlights - has always been a disjointed, time-consuming process that required a volunteer to film, edit and then figure out how to send large files to the team days after the game," said Terri Schmier, Chief Product Officer, TeamSnap. "Even when amazing plays were captured by a spectator, they have almost never been shared. It has just been too hard. Now, with our Fantag integration, anyone on the sidelines or in the stands can record video, tag the exciting plays and instantly share highlights through TeamSnap Live! during the game."

TeamSnap's new video capability is powered by Fantag, whose technology makes capturing highlights from live video possible with just a tap of a button. Fantag's easy-to-use interface will be tightly integrated into TeamSnap giving coaches, players and parents instant access to record, tag and share highlight videos.

"We are really excited to partner with TeamSnap to help parents and other users capture video of those special moments in youth sports," said John Stone, CEO at Fantag. "Our technology complements TeamSnap Live! perfectly providing users with the ability to easily capture video and share it instantly with friends, family and teammates."

To access TeamSnap Live! video highlights powered by Fantag, users must have the most recent TeamSnap iOS and Android apps installed.

ReverseVision Expands Support for Proprietary Reverse Mortgage Products

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- ReverseVision, the leading provider of technology and training for the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) industry, today announced that it is offering a combination of enhanced software functionality and professional services to help mortgage lenders launch proprietary reverse mortgage products.

ReverseVision's release of enhanced proprietary product support comes in response to an uptick in lender interest in proprietary reverse products following last October's changes to the HECM program by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

"In the current market, well over nine out of 10 reverse mortgages are HUD-insured HECMs, which leaves a lot of room for growth in proprietary products," said Wendy Peel, vice president of sales and marketing at ReverseVision. "After several consecutive years of responding to HECM program changes, lenders are eager for an opportunity to stabilize their operations and fill borrower needs not addressed by the HECM program. The double-digit growth we're currently witnessing in the proprietary products niche of senior lending closely resembles the trajectory of non-QM lending in the traditional mortgage space."

ReverseVision says innovative lenders are reinvigorating their reverse mortgage businesses by developing counterparts to forward proprietary loan programs that target gaps in the market. For instance, though HECMs allow senior homeowners to tap into their home equity wealth at very low cost over the long term, upfront fees can be prohibitive - especially since October 2017 regulatory changes. Proprietary reverse mortgages can help seniors secure a reverse mortgage loan with lower upfront costs.

Proprietary reverse mortgages can expand access to home equity for seniors with home values much greater than the HECM maximum claim amount of $679,650. Proprietary products also have more flexibility for condominiums than HECMs and provide opportunities to lend to borrowers younger than HECM's minimum age of 62. Designers of proprietary reverse mortgages have even begun adding options like monthly term payments to their products.

"We've designed our system for flexibility so that we can configure almost any proprietary product without a major software release," said Jeff Birdsell, vice president of professional services at ReverseVision.

The lender process for submitting a new proprietary product to ReverseVision is simple. Once a lender has designed a proprietary product and its accompanying document package, the lender need only submit a completed proprietary products questionnaire to ReverseVision to initiate the setup.

Once the proprietary product and associated documents have been configured within ReverseVision's flagship RV Exchange (RVX) loan origination system - a process that takes an average of eight to ten weeks, soup to nuts - lenders gain full transparency into the product setup and can even change certain settings, such as product names and lender margins, at will. A support staff that specializes in assisting lenders with proprietary products is available to perform more complex adjustments and answer customer inquiries.

"Pioneering proprietary products have the potential to elevate reverse mortgages beyond the complexities, caps and limitations of HUD's HECM program," said Birdsell. "They'll also create some stability in the industry where sudden government changes to the HECM program have sent reverse lenders into emergency response mode. These new products could also drive loan production by competing more directly with traditional loans and serving a broader range of customer needs."

If you are interested in creating a proprietary product, please contact ReverseVision at proservices@reversevision.com.

About ReverseVision:

ReverseVision, Inc. is the leading provider of technology and training for Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) origination. With nearly 10,000 active users, ReverseVision technology is used by 10 of the top-ten reverse mortgage lenders and supports more HECM transactions than all other systems combined.

ReverseVision's annual user conference, the only event of its kind in the industry, brings together more than 200 lenders, vendors and educators each year to advance HECM lending.

FinKube Publishes New Digital Lending White Paper, ‘Simplifying the Digital Mortgage Process’

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- FinKube, a company that provides AI-powered Platform-as-a-Service solutions for a range of industries, announced today that it has published a new whitepaper entitled "Simplifying the Digital Mortgage Process." The new paper outlines some of the risks lenders face when making choices about the technologies they employ on the front ends of their mortgage origination processes.

"It's in the best interests of the mortgage technology vendor community for lenders to believe that meeting the digital requirements of modern mortgage borrowers is complicated," said Jorge Sauri, founder and CEO of FinKube. "We don't believe it is. Instead of investing in technology that changes the way the lender operates an existing business, there is far less risk in using adaptive technology that has the cognitive power to take the lender's existing business digital. This requires the lender to rethink what it means to go digital, which is the focus of our new white paper."

In the paper, FinKube outlines the four objectives a lender must achieve if they hope to compete with the nation's largest fintech lenders. It also explains how to win more customers without investing in an expensive call center, like the nation's largest firms have done in order to serve as the back office for their digital front ends.

FinKube is the creator of ELSA, which stands for Electronic Loan Services Assistant. She is the financial services industry's first intelligent assistant and uses AI and machine learning to enhance the origination process from origination to close. ELSA can gather borrower information, render decisions, automate time-consuming tasks and help lenders produce fully compliant mortgage loans in as few as 20 days. Learn more about ELSA at https://finkube.com/product/elsa-intelligent-assistance/.

FinKube was founded by Jorge Sauri, an industry veteran with nearly 20 years of experience developing IT solutions and technology platforms for banks, lenders and real estate companies. He developed the mortgage industry's first cloud-based software for underwriting subprime mortgages at Arc Systems and then developed a completely cloud-based LOS called MortgageDashboard.

A first of its kind technology, the solution adds significant value to lenders and investors and establishes newfound efficiencies for bid tape AOT executions. Company officials at MCT say that the bid-tape AOT execution is poised to gain rapid adoption and will likely account for a substantial portion of lenders' agency commitments to correspondent investors. MCT collaborated with Wells Fargo to streamline the process of executing the Tri-Party Agreement, which leverages secure eSignature technology that is legally binding and enforceable.

After beta testing bid tape AOT with select sellers starting in early 2018, MCT rolled out support across their award-winning software, MCTlive!, in May. Bid tape AOT allows lenders to achieve bid tape pricing with the cash benefits of assigning the trade and has been welcomed with excitement from MCT lender clients. One of the final hurdles in the AOT process was the requirement of lender, investor, and broker dealer to each sign and return an agreement pertaining to every assignment. This process has now been completely digitized and streamlined.

"Historically, the manual execution of the Tri-Party Agreement has made the process of AOT extremely inefficient, as the form generally had to be printed out, wet-signed, scanned, stored, and in some cases was required to be sent via fax machine," stated Phil Rasori, COO at MCT. "BAM fully automates the old Tri-Party Agreement process by easily and quickly allowing parties to generate, eSign, and securely deliver them to investors, all with the simple click of a button. Automation and digitization of this process using BAM is going to become a game-changer for the entire secondary market."

Although the availability of bid tape AOT executions is currently limited, MCT expects the popularity of this delivery option to steadily increase. As more investors roll out bid tape AOT programs, the automated tri-party functionality will be integrated accordingly.

This automation is the latest development in a steady series of BAM features which help lenders improve their loan sale process and margins through best execution. BAM was officially unveiled in early 2017, achieved 100 percent adoption within the investor community a few months later, and earlier this year received PROGRESS in Lending Association's 'Innovation Award' for mortgage technology. Lenders using BAM consistently report time savings of over two hours for every loan sale using BAM compared to their previous process, and experience surprising pickup in some cases due to bidding with an expanded investor set.

Lenders interested in BAM or automating their AOT Tri-Party Agreement should reach out to schedule a consultation.

NotaryCam Applauds Treasury Recommendations to Remove Barriers to Remote Online Notarization and ‘Fully Digital Mortgage’

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rick Triola, founder and CEO of the industry's most popular remote online notarization solution, NotaryCam, calls the Department of Treasury's recommendations in its July 31 report to the President: A Financial System That Creates Economic Opportunities: Nonbank Financials, Fintech, and Innovation "a cure to the persistent drags on real estate transactions that have prevented the consumer from experiencing the benefits now possible with digital technologies."

Specifically Triola cites the positive impact of recommendations in the report's section Electronic Closing and Recording (p. 107 - 110), in advancing the industry's adoption of remote online notarization:

Treasury recommends that states yet to authorize electronic and remote online notarization pursue legislation to explicitly permit the application of this technology and the interstate recognition of remotely notarized documents. Treasury recommends that states align laws and regulations to further standardize notarization practices. Treasury further recommends that Congress consider legislation to provide a minimum uniform national standard for electronic and remote online notarizations. Such legislation would facilitate, but not require, this component of a fully digital mortgage process and would provide a greater degree of legal certainty across the country.

"The key phrase here is 'legal certainty,' which, if achieved, knocks down any barriers for a lender or a title company or other industry participant to offer the convenience and security of doing these transactions online," Triola said. "Consumers are asking for this. Consumers are tech savvy and they want the convenience of tech-enabled financial transactions."

"In my opinion, the biggest problem with technology innovation in our industry is that it never gets to the end user because so many barriers to adoption are created. Consumers don't even know the technology exists to allow remote online notarization that they can complete from anywhere, at any time. This option should be available to any consumer who wants it.

"It allows the lenders and the title companies to move forward and to offer this convenience to all stakeholders including the end user. And that's exciting," he said.

Triola also sees promise for the industry's drive to a more fully digital mortgage transaction, citing the following from the report:

"Getting to a full complete electronic real estate mortgage transaction has been an achievable goal for years, but the laws were not on the books that allowed for this to happen," Triola said.

While the Treasury's recommendations are a great and necessary start, encouraging all states to get on board, Triola thinks national legislation will be needed.

"What is needed is to give title underwriters, lenders, and investors comfort that the e-transaction is not going to be challenged by a foreclosure judge or a bankruptcy judge. Those concerns hang out there now because there's no case law to solidify support for the current legislation in Virginia or Montana, for example.

"Obviously," Triola said, "they had extensive conversations with MBA and ALTA to understand the barriers for adoption and they've addressed them, so it's very exciting."

A pioneer of electronic and remote online notarizations, NotaryCam brings individuals and businesses together from anywhere in the world to securely sign and notarize documents in the virtual presence of a licensed notary public. To date, NotaryCam has completed more than 100,000 remote online notarizations. The company holds the industry's highest Net Promoter Score and a customer satisfaction rating of 99.8 percent.

Simplifile Signs 1800th County to Its E-recording Network, Platform Now Utilized by More Than Half of U.S. Recording Jurisdictions

PROVO, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Simplifile, a leading provider of real estate document collaboration and recording technologies for lenders, settlement agents, and counties, today announced that Clallam County, Wash., is the 1800th jurisdiction to join Simplifile's e-recording network. With this addition, more than 50 percent of recording jurisdictions nationwide are now using Simplifile's e-recording platform to electronically exchange, process, and record real estate documents within minutes, making it the largest e-recording network in the nation.

"This is a tremendous milestone in Simplifile's deep history of e-recording. When we first began down this path 18 years ago, our goal was simply to bring transparency and efficiency to the document recording process," said Simplifile president, Paul Clifford. "Now, to have deployed our platform in more than half of the U.S. recording jurisdictions and to cover recording transaction for the vast majority of the population - it's beyond anything we could have ever anticipated, and we're deeply grateful to all our settlement and recording partners that have made this achievement possible."

As the 1800th member of Simplifile's e-recording network, Clallam County is among the latest recording jurisdictions to harness the benefits of e-recording within their day-to-day operations.

"Simplifile has been very helpful and supportive while we are just beginning. Their support staff has been awesome to work with, very friendly and helpful, and it is an honor and a pleasure to hold the distinction of being Simplifile's 1800th e-recording county," said Clallam County Recorder Tomi Elliott. "We had heard at a recording conference how easy e-recording was and that it cuts down on the amount of paperwork that passes through the office. We had been looking into getting started and thought we had to have the Treasurer's Office on board for the excise stamps but found out we could e-record all other documents."

"E-recording is a very quick and easy process for our customers, especially if a document needs correcting - no long waits while it is in transit using the mail," Elliott added. "The fact that we don't have to manually handle the paperwork and it gets returned right after it records benefits both us and our customers."

In addition to Clallam County, nine other jurisdictions in the Western half of the U.S. have joined Simplifile's e-recording network, including:

* Christian County, Ill.

TeamSnap Launches New Officials Management Platform to Serve Referees and Umpires

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- TeamSnap, the household name in sports-tech management, announced today the expansion of its industry-leading platform with the introduction of TeamSnap Officials - an innovative new online platform to schedule, manage and communicate with referees, umpires and officials.

"Referees, umpires and other officials are essential to the success of any sports season or event; there is nothing worse than not knowing if an official has been scheduled to show up to a game," said Dave DuPont, CEO and co-founder of TeamSnap. "We are thrilled to launch TeamSnap Officials to help alleviate some of the stress in scheduling and communicating to officials - and ensure that sports' unsung heroes know when and where to be at all times."

TeamSnap Officials is integrated directly into TeamSnap for Clubs & Leagues and TeamSnap Tournaments, allowing administrators to manage officials directly from one easy to use platform. Referees and umpires can be easily scheduled through the intuitive applications, and instantly receive scheduling updates and game reminders.

The flexible feature can also be configured to allow officials to self-assign and schedule themselves for games and events.

The product was developed after in-depth research and consultation with sports organizations and officials' associations across North America. A survey among TeamSnap for Clubs & Leagues users showed that last minute game changes and scheduling are two of the biggest pain points that sports organizations have when it comes to managing officials. The majority of sports organizations still rely on individual phone calls and emails to schedule officials.

This is the latest major product feature release for TeamSnap, following the introduction of TeamSnap Payments this past February.
