Friday Harbor becomes first mortgage technology provider to receive AI governance compliance attestation from Brody Gapp

Independent compliance review introduces new standard for evaluating AI in mortgage origination

SEATTLE, Wash., May 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, is the first mortgage technology provider to receive an AI governance compliance attestation from mortgage banking and financial services law firm Brody Gapp LLP.

The attestation follows a formal compliance review of Friday Harbor’s platform, which uses AI to analyze borrower documents, appraisal files and product guidelines to calculate qualifying income, identify potential issues and guide resolution paths before loans reach underwriting. Brody Gapp’s review included analysis of fair lending applicability, adverse action considerations, model governance, vendor risk management, data governance, internal controls and examination readiness.

As lenders rapidly adopt artificial intelligence across the origination process, many are still developing frameworks to evaluate how these tools fit within existing compliance, risk management and vendor oversight expectations. Brody Gapp’s attestation introduces a new approach for governing AI-driven mortgage technologies as these capabilities become increasingly embedded across mortgage platforms and workflows.

“AI is being deployed across the mortgage lifecycle faster than most institutions can evaluate it,” said James Brody, founder and managing partner of Brody Gapp LLP. “Our goal is to help lenders and technology providers establish stronger governance, documentation and compliance readiness as these tools become more widely adopted.”

For lenders, the attestation provides an additional layer of assurance when assessing AI vendors. For Friday Harbor, it reinforces the company’s position as an early leader in applying AI to improve loan quality and operational efficiency while supporting compliant lending practices. The attestation is expected to serve as a model for future AI governance reviews across the mortgage industry.

“Lenders don’t just need innovation. They need confidence that the technology they’re adopting will stand up to regulatory scrutiny,” said Theo Ellis, founder and CEO of Friday Harbor. “Being first to complete this process gives our customers a clear signal that Friday Harbor is built with that standard in mind.”

NewFed Mortgage leverages Friday Harbor to boost fulfillment productivity by 35%

Independent mortgage bank uses AI pre-underwriting to scale production without adding fulfillment staff

SEATTLE, Wash., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — NewFed Mortgage Corp., a full-service residential mortgage lender operating across more than 20 states, today announced the companywide rollout of Friday Harbor’s AI pre-underwriting platform following a successful pilot program that demonstrated measurable gains in fulfillment productivity and underwriting throughput. Since implementing Friday Harbor, NewFed processors handle 36% more files per month while underwriters review 35% more loans. Those productivity gains enabled the company to fund nearly $170 million more in loan volume in 2025 than in 2024 without expanding its fulfillment team.

“Removing low-value, repetitive work is what allows people to focus on the decisions that actually matter,” said Rob Jewett, chief operating officer at NewFed Mortgage. “I have seen so much technology in this industry, and to me, this is the single best piece of tech I’ve ever worked with.”

Friday Harbor reviews loan files as they’re being built, catching missing documentation and income discrepancies before they become underwriting conditions. By applying investor requirements and lender-specific overlays during file assembly rather than at the underwriting desk, the platform helps teams correct issues when they’re still manageable instead of costly.

“When Rob and I first met, he was looking to grow NewFed’s capacity for a predicted increase in volume without over-hiring or draining his people,” said Friday Harbor Founder and CEO Theo Ellis. “Friday Harbor removes the burden of sit-and-stare tasks by flagging potential issues, so teams can focus on the work that actually requires judgment instead of just hunting for missing documents.”

The operational impact has extended across multiple areas of NewFed’s business. Application-to-funded cycle times compressed from 32 days to 26 days. Funded-to-purchase timelines dropped from 23 days to 18 days, moving capital off the balance sheet faster after closing. Friday Harbor has also proven valuable for training, helping new processors learn from actual loan files rather than relying solely on classroom scenarios.

NewFed uses Friday Harbor through its integration with the Encompass® loan origination system from ICE Mortgage Technology, allowing loan data, documents and conditions to remain synchronized throughout the origination process. As an early design partner, NewFed worked closely with Friday Harbor to help shape the platform around real-world fulfillment workflows, operational realities and production-scale lending environments. That collaboration helped Friday Harbor refine how the platform surfaces underwriting issues earlier, supports fulfillment staff productivity and fits into existing lender operations without disrupting established processes.

Amba to Highlight Real-World Results in Webinar on Proactive, AI-Enabled Care

New case study shows sharp reductions in falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks at Tiffany Village and Kenny's Pond

NAPLES, Fla., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Amba, a leader in passive AI-powered care technology, will host a live webinar titled “From Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage ” on May 20, 2026, focused on how senior living operators can move beyond reactive care and how working with better visibility and earlier insight improves operational efficiency.

Tiffany Village will discuss how its care teams use Amba’s AI-powered passive care technology to reduce falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks across its senior living communities in the webinar “Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage” on May 20, 2026.
Image caption: Tiffany Village will discuss how its care teams use Amba’s AI-powered passive care technology to reduce falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks across its senior living communities in the webinar “Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage” on May 20, 2026.

The session, presented in partnership with Senior Housing News, will feature Kristen Parsons, President of Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, alongside Amba Founder and CEO Stuart Hamilton. The two will walk through what changed over two years of using Amba, what that shift meant for care delivery, and how teams actually work day-to-day.

Amba uses passive, privacy-first sensors to track patterns in sleep, movement, and behavior, without cameras or audio. Over time, the platform builds a baseline for each resident and flags meaningful changes, helping teams decide when to step in and where to focus their attention.

The system is designed to work within existing environments, allowing communities to adopt it without overhauling infrastructure or workflows.

The webinar follows the release of a new case study based on results from the St. John’s, Newfoundland communities, where Amba has been used to provide care teams with clearer visibility into resident needs, enabling them to step in earlier before an infection or issue arises.

At Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, care teams have seen fewer disruptions and more consistent care. Occupancy increased, and labor costs came down, while care teams reported feeling more confident in how they prioritize their day, in data analyzed from 2023 to 2025:

Result highlights at Tiffany Village and Kenney’s Pond include:

  • 89% reduction in falls
  • 78% reduction in medication issues
  • 97% reduction in hospitalizations

“Amba is very easy to fall in love with,” said Parsons. “Once your team sees the benefit and starts using it every day, it becomes part of how you deliver care.”

These outcomes were achieved without adding staff, challenging the assumption that better outcomes require more staffing.

“Most communities aren’t short on effort; they’re short on visibility,” said Amba’s Hamilton. “When teams can see what’s changing in real time, they don’t have to wait for something to go wrong. They can step in earlier, with more confidence, and focus their time where it actually matters.”

During the webinar, attendees will hear directly from Parsons about what it took to implement the system, where things started to change, and how their approach to care has evolved over time.

Topics include:

  • How to increase caregiver capacity without adding payroll
  • Why many systems keep communities stuck in reactive workflows
  • What proactive care actually looks like in practice
  • What two years of real data reveal about operations

Webinar Details: The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 12 p.m. Eastern. To register or download the case study, visit: https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5323094/16843E5E12924BD0B946E1C5C11C26D9?partnerref=amba

OptiFunder Connects LendingPad LOS to Genesis to Link Origination and Warehouse Funding

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — OptiFunder®, the mortgage industry leader in warehouse management automation, announced a new integration with LendingPad, the award‑winning, cloud‑native loan origination system. The integration brings LendingPad and Genesis by OptiFunder together, creating a direct connection between loan origination and warehouse funding operations. The platforms align the loan lifecycle from origination through funding, reconciliation, and execution in the capital markets.

OptiFunder Connects LendingPad LOS to Genesis to Link Origination and Warehouse Funding
Image caption: OptiFunder Connects LendingPad LOS to Genesis to Link Origination and Warehouse Funding.

With LendingPad now connected to Genesis, mortgage bankers can carry loans from origination into warehouse finance without leaving the LOS or duplicating data. The integration blends real‑time loan and funding information from LendingPad with Genesis’ warehouse intelligence spanning more than 60 warehouse lenders, allowing originators to plan funding strategy, manage line utilization, and automate post‑closing activity within a single, coordinated workflow. By removing manual handoffs and disconnected tools, lenders gain lower financing costs, improved funding precision, and greater efficiency across the entire warehouse process—supported by a single, dependable system of record.

“Warehouse funding has long been managed outside the LOS, creating unnecessary friction at a critical point in the lending lifecycle,” said Brian Abbott, Chief Operating Officer of OptiFunder. “Connecting LendingPad and Genesis brings origination and warehouse execution together. Originators gain clearer visibility and stronger control, LOS platforms expand into warehouse finance without added complexity, and warehouse lenders benefit from consistent, scalable connectivity across their customer base.”

The integration also strengthens the broader warehouse ecosystem. For LOS platforms like LendingPad, Genesis extends the origination workflow into warehouse finance without the burden of building and maintaining individual integrations for each warehouse lender. For warehouse lenders, Genesis delivers greater transparency, consistency, and operational efficiency through a single, bi‑directional connection that supports multiple originators.

Built on an API‑driven architecture, the integration improves reliability and security throughout the funding lifecycle. Direct system‑to‑system connectivity reduces reliance on spreadsheets, emails, and lender portals, lowering the risk of data errors and operational bottlenecks. Secure data exchange, role‑based permissions, and complete audit trails enhance oversight and compliance, while automated workflows ensure funding, collateral handling, reconciliation, and paydowns are executed accurately and consistently.

“From the beginning, LendingPad has been focused on helping mortgage professionals lend better, together,” said Wes Yuan, Chief Executive Officer of LendingPad. “Integrating with OptiFunder extends that philosophy into warehouse finance, giving our customers better visibility, fewer touchpoints, and more confidence as loans move from origination to funding and beyond.”

Vesta Partners with OptiFunder to Bring Loan Origination and Warehouse Funding Together

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 12, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — OptiFunder®, the mortgage industry pioneer in warehouse management automation, has partnered with Vesta, the AI-native loan origination system and agent platform, to connect loan origination and warehouse funding workflows. The integration links origination, funding, and sale to the capital markets, eliminating fragmented systems and manual handoffs that have historically slowed execution and increased risk.

Vesta Partners with OptiFunder to bring loan origination and warehouse funding together.
Image caption: Vesta Partners with OptiFunder to bring loan origination and warehouse funding together.

That fragmentation ends with Genesis by OptiFunder, a Warehouse Management System for mortgage originators, embedded directly inside Vesta’s LOS. Mortgage bankers can now manage warehouse funding strategy, optimize line utilization, and automate post-closing workflows without switching systems or rekeying data. The integration combines real-time origination data with intelligent decisioning across OptiFunder’s network of 60+ warehouse lenders, cutting financing costs and improving funding accuracy across origination, reconciliation, and paydown — all from a single system of record.

“Warehouse management has traditionally operated outside the LOS, creating unnecessary friction and risk,” said Brian Abbott, Chief Operating Officer of OptiFunder. “By connecting the LOS and Genesis, we’re aligning origination and warehouse workflows into a single, intelligent process. Originators gain a seamless, end-to-end funding experience, Vesta extends its operational reach, and warehouse lenders benefit from standardized, system-driven connectivity that scales across multiple originators and environments.”

Beyond originators, the integration delivers meaningful value across the broader warehouse ecosystem. Together, Vesta and OptiFunder extend the origination workflow into warehouse finance—one of the most capital-intensive and operationally complex stages of mortgage lending—without requiring custom, one-off integrations for each warehouse lender. For warehouse lenders, Genesis provides a single, bi-directional integration that supports dozens of originators, improving consistency, visibility, and operational efficiency.

The API-based integration also enhances reliability and security throughout the funding lifecycle. System-to-system connectivity reduces reliance on spreadsheets, emails, and manual portal activity, minimizing data errors and operational risk. Secure data transmission, role-based access controls, and complete audit trails improve transparency and support compliance requirements, while automated workflows ensure funding, collateral, reconciliation, and paydowns are executed consistently and predictably.

“We’re proud to partner with the OptiFunder team to bring Genesis closer to the loan origination workflow,” said Monica Raciti, Head of Operations and Partnerships at Vesta. “Warehouse finance is one of the most operationally complex parts of mortgage lending, and tighter integration between origination and funding makes life easier for the lenders we both serve.”

FirstClose introduces SmartDocs disclosure automation through its point-of-sale platform

AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — FirstClose™, a leading fintech provider of data and workflow solutions for mortgage and home equity lenders nationwide, today announced SmartDocs, a new disclosure intelligence capability available through its XpressEquity point-of-sale platform. SmartDocs functions as the intelligence layer that determines when disclosure obligations begin and initiates the appropriate workflow based on lender-configured rules, helping standardize timing and delivery across programs and jurisdictions.

FirstClose logo
Image caption: FirstClose, a leading fintech provider of data and workflow solutions.

“Initial disclosures are some of the most critical and operationally complex steps in the home equity process,” said Tedd Smith, chief executive officer of FirstClose. “SmartDocs enables lenders to deliver disclosures faster, reduce operational burden and help mitigate compliance risk, while giving borrowers a smoother experience from application to decision.”

MeridianLink Consumer is among the first loan origination systems integrated with SmartDocs. Through the integration, lenders using MeridianLink Consumer and MeridianLink Document Mapping can automate the generation and delivery of initial disclosures and adverse action notices based on lender-defined rules tied to application status, product type and property location.

In addition to automating disclosure delivery, the feature automatically provides applicants with a HUD-approved list of housing counselors relevant to the property’s ZIP code, helping lenders meet regulatory requirements without requiring loan officers or processors to generate or manage counselor lists manually. By reducing manual monitoring and standardizing disclosure triggers earlier in the lifecycle, SmartDocs is designed to help lenders create a more consistent experience across teams while keeping borrower communications moving on schedule.

“Making MeridianLink one of the first systems supported was a natural step, because it allows lenders to carry consistent disclosure logic from application intake into early borrower communications,” Smith added. “The goal is fewer manual checks, fewer delays and a more predictable process for both staff and borrowers.”

About FirstClose

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, FirstClose, Inc. provides fintech solutions to HELOC and mortgage lenders nationwide. The company’s mission is to increase profitability and reduce costs for mortgage lenders. FirstClose makes this possible through offering systems and relationships that enable lenders to assist their borrowers more effectively, reduce closing costs, and ultimately shorten closing times.

TORRANCE, Calif., May 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — DocMagic, Inc. (DocMagic®) announced today that it has received two new certifications from MISMO®, the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization. MISMO’s eVault System Certification covers SmartSAFE®, DocMagic’s core eVault for managing eNote workflows and MERS® eRegistry activity, and SmartSAFE XL™, an API-first eVault designed for enterprise environments that require flexible deployments and support for a broader range of digital assets.

MISMO’s technology certifications signify that providers meet rigorous criteria for data exchange, transaction reliability and interoperability across the mortgage ecosystem. DocMagic’s SmartSAFE and SmartSAFE XL eVaults underwent comprehensive testing, with 192 interdependent test cases and supporting compliance artifacts evaluated for each solution.

“With MISMO’s eVault certifications, DocMagic can help lenders accelerate integration timelines, reduce testing cycles and bring eNote capabilities to market with greater speed and certainty,” said MISMO Vice President of Programs and Operations Jonathan Kearns. “At MISMO, we recognize that trust in both the integration and ongoing use of an eVault is critical to advancing the digital mortgage ecosystem. Our eVault certification program is designed to remove uncertainty by validating that providers are implementing MISMO standards correctly, giving lenders confidence in how electronic notes are stored, managed and transferred.”

“We chose to put both our SmartSAFE eVaults through MISMO’s rigorous certification process because we know how important it is for eNote interoperability to extend across different architectures and operating models,” said DocMagic Chief eServices Executive Brian D. Pannell. A Certified MISMO Standards Professional (CMSP®), Pannell is a member of MISMO’s Residential Standards governance committee and vice chair of its Digital Interoperability community of practice. “Whether workflows are UI-guided or API-driven, consistent validation and management of digital assets enables lenders, investors and partners to transact with speed, efficiency and confidence.”

DocMagic previously received MISMO’s eClosing System Certification for its Total eClose™ solution and MISMO’s Remote Online Notarization (RON) Certification for its proprietary RON technology, both in 2022. Together with its newly earned eVault System and SMART Doc Validation Rules certifications, these achievements reflect DocMagic’s continued alignment with MISMO standards across the digital mortgage lifecycle.

DealCycl Company Now Generally Available, Shipping Day-One Agent-Native Cap Table Platform on All Paid Plans

DENVER, Colo., May 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — DealCycl, Inc. today announced the general availability of DealCycl Company, the cap table management and corporate governance platform for private companies. DealCycl Company is available immediately across four pricing tiers — Free, Starter, Growth, and Scale — with no waitlist, no sales calls, and no per-stakeholder pricing. The platform is the first in the cap table category to ship a fully agent-native architecture on day one, available at dealcycl.com/captable.

DealCycl, Inc.
Image caption: DealCycl, Inc.

DAY-ONE AGENT-NATIVE PLATFORM

Every paid plan includes the full DealCycl MCP Server and Claude Skill, exposing the same capabilities and data model that power the user interface to AI agents through Anthropic’s open Model Context Protocol — with no enterprise gate, no add-on SKU, and no proprietary integration required. Because MCP is an open standard, customers can connect their own agents, auditors’ agents, and internal finance tools to their DealCycl tenant with a configuration change rather than an integration engagement.

“Anything a person can do in the DealCycl UI, an agent can now do through our MCP Server,” said Chris Caldwell, COO and co-founder of DealCycl. “Not most things. Not with caveats. Everything. We treat agent-native parity as a platform pillar — every product we ship from here on out inherits it by default.”

PRICING AVAILABLE DAY ONE ACROSS FOUR TIERS

All four tiers are available immediately with published pricing, unlimited stakeholders on every paid plan, and no per-stakeholder fees:

  • Free — $0/year, 1 Full User, 25 Stakeholders. Free forever, not a trial.
  • Starter — $1,999/year, 3 Full Users, Unlimited Stakeholders. For post-seed startups.
  • Growth — $4,999/year, 5 Full Users, Unlimited Stakeholders. For Series A and B companies.
  • Scale — $9,999/year, 10 Full Users, Unlimited Stakeholders. For Series C+ and multi-entity companies.

Every paid plan includes a 3-year price lock, one-click cancellation, full data export, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the contractual data sovereignty commitment.

CONTRACTUAL DATA SOVEREIGNTY

DealCycl was founded in direct response to the January 2024 Carta data incident, in which the dominant cap table provider used confidential cap table data to cold-contact investors about selling their shares without company knowledge or consent. DealCycl is the first platform in the category to commit contractually — in customer agreements, not marketing copy — to never use customer cap table data to broker trades, contact investors, or monetize equity information.

“Founders trust their cap table provider with the most sensitive information their company produces,” said Chris Goodwin, CEO and co-founder of DealCycl. “We treat that trust as a legal obligation, not a marketing claim.”

ONE-CLICK CARTA MIGRATION, AVAILABLE TODAY

DealCycl Company supports one-click import from Carta on every plan, including the Free tier. Prioritized white-glove migration assistance is available during the launch window for customers transitioning from per-stakeholder cap table products.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

DealCycl was founded by Chris Goodwin, architect of RSA Archer, and Chris Caldwell, co-founder and former CEO of Lockpath, a GRC platform acquired by NAVEX Global. Both founders bring more than 20 years of enterprise security and governance experience to the platform.

ABOUT DEALCYCL, INC.

DealCycl is the investment lifecycle management platform for private markets. DealCycl Company provides cap table management and corporate governance for startups and private companies. The company was founded by Chris Goodwin (CEO), the architect of RSA Archer, and Chris Caldwell (COO), co-founder and former CEO of Lockpath. DealCycl is headquartered in Denver, CO.

Secured Signing API Integration Marks Major Advancement in Digital Property Transaction Standards

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Secured Signing, a global leader in Digital Signature and Remote Online Notarization (RON) technology, recently sat down with industry innovators Tall Poppy Real Estate to discuss the successful, large-scale integration of the Secured Signing API into their core proprietary platform. By embedding high-security digital signatures directly into its internal workflows, Tall Poppy is effectively redefining the benchmarks for transparency, efficiency, and trust within the international real estate market.

Secured Signing API Integration Marks Major Advancement in Digital Property Transaction Standards
Image caption: Secured Signing API Integration Marks Major Advancement in Digital Property Transaction Standards.

In an industry where high-stakes financial transactions often rely on fragmented manual processes, Tall Poppy has moved to eliminate “friction” by automating the entire document lifecycle. This strategic shift ensures that listing agreements, vendor disclosures, and sale contracts are managed within a single, secure, and brand-consistent environment.

SOLVING GLOBAL FRICTION IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Real estate markets worldwide face identical bottlenecks: sequential signing delays, human errors in document handling, and inconsistent user experiences across devices. Tall Poppy addressed these challenges by selecting Secured Signing as the engine behind its digital transformation. Renowned for its tamper-proof technology, Secured Signing ensures authenticity and integrity at every stage of the property transaction.

“We needed more than a standalone tool; we required a signing engine embedded directly into our workflow,” says Michael Graves of Tall Poppy Real Estate. “We throw a document at Secured Signing, define the parameters, and the API controls the journey from there. It ensures every stakeholder, whether vendor or purchaser, enjoys a seamless, professional experience.”

Key Innovations in the Tall Poppy Workflow:

  • Parallel Signing Capabilities: Unlike traditional linear processes, multiple parties can now sign documents simultaneously. This significantly reduces the time-to-close in competitive, time-sensitive property markets.
  • API-Driven Consistency: By utilizing the API, Tall Poppy standardizes signature formats across all mobile and desktop devices, ensuring legal validity and a polished professional output every time.
  • Mobile-First Accessibility: Recognizing the global shift toward mobile commerce, the integration provides a frictionless experience for clients to sign documents on the go, without the need for printing, scanning, or specialized apps.

A PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON SECURITY AND SUPPORT

The decision to partner with Secured Signing was driven by the need for a “best-of-breed” solution that offers both high-level compliance and responsive technical support. This allows Tall Poppy to maintain a “pay-for-what-you-use” efficiency while delivering a secure environment that meets rigorous global standards for identity verification and document integrity.

“The integration allows us the flexibility to wrap our unique processes around a world-class signing solution,” Graves adds. “It ensures that the experience we offer to our vendors, buyers, and salespeople is not just modern, but the most secure available.”

“Working with the team at Tall Poppy Real Estate has been a standout example of what’s possible when two technology-forward organizations align,” said Mike Eyal, CEO of Secured Signing. “By integrating our API directly into their proprietary workflow, Tall Poppy hasn’t just improved speed, they’ve completely removed the friction from the document lifecycle. We are proud to provide the security and integrity that anchors their platform, and we look forward to continuing to set new standards for transparency in the real estate industry together.”

ABOUT TALL POPPY REAL ESTATE

Tall Poppy Real Estate is a tech-driven real estate agency focused on fairness, transparency, and excellence. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a centralized support model, Tall Poppy provides an industry-leading service for New Zealand homeowners and sets a blueprint for the future of global real estate.

ABOUT SECURED SIGNING

Secured Signing is a global provider of digital document signing offering Advanced e-Signatures and Remote Online Notarization solutions, trusted by legal professionals, financial institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies, and businesses worldwide. Its platform combines compliance-grade security with an intuitive user experience, enabling organizations to execute documents with confidence — wherever their signers are located.

Edimakor V4.9.0 Introduces New GPT Image 2 and Character Library for Consistent, Cinematic AI Creation

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The demand for smarter and more precise AI creative tools is growing fast. Creators today don’t just want beautiful images — they want consistency, storytelling, and control across every project. To meet this need, HitPaw Edimakor announces the release of Edimakor V4.9.0, a major upgrade that brings two powerful features: GPT Image 2 and an enhanced Character Library.

Edimakor V4.9.0 Introduces GPT Image 2 and Character Library for Consistent, Cinematic AI Creation
Image caption: Edimakor V4.9.0 Introduces GPT Image 2 and Character Library for Consistent, Cinematic AI Creation.

This update is designed to help creators produce not only high-quality visuals, but also complete and consistent stories — from a single image to full video series.

SMARTER IMAGE CREATION WITH GPT IMAGE 2

Precision and Detail

GPT Image 2 takes image generation to the next level. It understands complex prompts and creates visuals with strong accuracy and fine detail… Whether it’s textures, lighting, or composition — the results feel polished and realistic.

Multi-Language Support

The model supports multiple languages, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Bengali… This allows creators around the world to generate images with natural and readable text — making content more global and accessible.

Cinematic Quality

Images generated with GPT Image 2 are not just visually appealing — they are consistent in style. Lighting, color, and overall design stay stable — helping creators achieve a true cinematic look.

BUILD STORIES WITH THE UPGRADED CHARACTER LIBRARY

Creating consistent characters across different scenes can be difficult. Edimakor solves this with its upgraded Character Library.

Users can create a character once and reuse it across multiple videos or projects. There is no need to rewrite descriptions or adjust styles every time. The system keeps the character’s look and identity consistent.

This is especially useful for:

  • Video series
  • Tutorials
  • Branded content
  • Storytelling projects

With this feature, creators can focus more on ideas and less on repetition.

A NEW LEVEL OF CREATIVE CONTROL

Edimakor V4.9.0 connects high-quality image creation with long-form storytelling. GPT Image 2 ensures every visual looks sharp and accurate, while the Character Library keeps everything consistent across scenes.

Together, these features help creators build stronger, more engaging content — faster and more efficiently. Whether you are working on short videos or full creative series – Edimakor gives you the tools to bring your ideas to life with clarity and consistency.

Intetics Among the First Globally to Earn ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Certification for AI Management Systems

NAPLES, Fla., April 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Intetics Inc., a global technology company specializing in custom software development and AI-powered solutions, has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

Intetics Inc. achieves ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, following a four-month governance and audit process
Image caption: Intetics Inc. achieves ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, following a four-month governance and audit process.

This milestone places Intetics among a select group of organizations worldwide that develop AI solutions with structured governance, transparency, and accountability.

Issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO/IEC 42001 establishes a framework for responsible AI development, risk management, and operational transparency. The certification follows an extensive audit process, including a detailed technical review of Intetics’ AI architectures, governance registers, and delivery methodologies.

A RIGOROUS PATH TO CERTIFICATION

Achieving ISO 42001 required a substantial organizational commitment spanning four months of intensive preparation. The initiative involved:

  • 29 new policies and procedures developed and implemented
  • 10 dedicated AI governance registers created
  • Cross-functional collaboration across engineering, legal, and compliance teams

Unlike conventional IT certifications that focus primarily on documentation, ISO 42001 demands demonstrable evidence of how AI systems function in practice from data provenance and model transparency to safety mechanisms and ethical decision-making frameworks.

“One of the most unexpected parts of the audit was a deep dive into the technical architecture of one of our AI solutions. We had to involve our engineers to walk the auditor through the full design of a computer vision system we had built for a client and explain how each component worked in practice,” said Pavlo Yalovol, VP of Innovation, Intetics Inc.

TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT ON AI DELIVERY

Beyond the certification itself, the process drove meaningful improvements across Intetics’ AI delivery practices:

  • Stronger data provenance and traceability across all AI projects
  • Enhanced AI safety mechanisms embedded into the development lifecycle
  • Greater transparency across AI systems and client-facing solutions
  • A fully auditable, enterprise-grade AI Management System aligned with global standards

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CLIENTS

For enterprises adopting AI, ISO 42001 certification signals that Intetics meets the highest internationally recognized standard for responsible AI governance. Clients benefit from:

  • Structured AI governance frameworks applied to every engagement
  • Full visibility into AI systems, data flows, and model behaviors
  • Ethical, explainable, and safe AI solutions by design
  • Alignment with the EU AI Act and other emerging regulatory requirements
  • Reduced compliance risk and higher trust in AI-powered business outcomes

ISO 42001 certification joins Intetics’ existing portfolio of internationally recognized quality standards including ISO 9001 for Quality Management and ISO 27001 for Information Security Management, reinforcing the company’s position as a trusted, enterprise-grade AI engineering partner for global organizations.

POSITIONING FOR THE EU AI ACT AND GLOBAL REGULATION

ISO/IEC 42001 certification is also a strategic asset in the context of rapidly evolving AI regulation. The EU AI Act which began phased enforcement in 2024 and applies to any organization offering AI-enabled products or services to EU customers, requires demonstrable governance, transparency, and risk management practices. For enterprises seeking compliant AI partners, ISO/IEC 42001 provides a strong, auditable foundation that aligns with these expectations.

By achieving certification now, Intetics gives clients a clear compliance advantage as global AI legislation continues to evolve.

PARTNER WITH A CERTIFIED AI GOVERNANCE LEADER

Organizations looking to develop AI solutions that are powerful, transparent, and compliant with global standards are invited to connect with Intetics. As one of the first companies worldwide to hold ISO/IEC 42001 certification, Intetics brings proven governance frameworks, deep AI engineering expertise, and over 30-year track record of delivering measurable outcomes.

This release reflects our commitment to building technology that truly serves everyone.”

“We’ve heard consistently from our customers and prospects about how important application accessibility is for their stakeholders,” said Schultz. “This release directly responds to that need. We want every government agency and organization we work with to feel confident that their reporting platform is open, inclusive, and fully compliant well ahead of the federal deadline.”

Ethical Advocate’s platform is used by government agencies, nonprofits, public, and private organizations to manage ethics hotlines, incident reporting, and compliance workflows. The application’s cloud-based architecture and commitment to continuous improvement position it as a long-term partner for organizations navigating evolving legal and accessibility standards.

State and local government agencies seeking to achieve ADA Title II compliance are encouraged to contact Ethical Advocate to learn more about the updated platform and how it can support their accessibility and ethics reporting needs.

Dark Matter Technologies introduces Ask Aiva, an AI assistant embedded in the Empower LOS

With Aiva AI, lenders can ask questions of their origination data and get instant answers with supporting source-level insights

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced Ask Aiva®, a conversational AI assistant natively embedded within the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) that allows lenders to query their origination environment in plain language, receive instant answers to see how those answers were derived. Available now to Empower clients, Ask Aiva is unveiling at Horizon 2026, the company’s annual user conference.

Dark Matter Technologies
Image caption: Dark Matter Technologies.

“The data lenders need to answer important operational questions has been just out of reach—buried in their own systems,” said Sean Dugan, CEO of Dark Matter Technologies. “Ask Aiva changes that by allowing users to ask questions of their origination environment and receive answers they can act on, with the ability to trace those answers back to the source.”

The assistant is built on a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architecture that searches connected data sources in real time, retrieves relevant context and generates responses in plain language. What distinguishes Ask Aiva is the ability for users to click directly into results to view the source data and underlying logic behind each answer, addressing a common limitation of AI tools that lack transparency and auditability into their outputs. It also delivers immediate answers within Empower, eliminating the need for support tickets and reducing wait times for system assistance.

“The industry has seen a surge of AI tools that operate as bolt-ons, requiring users to leave their core systems and trust outputs without clear visibility into how they’re generated,” said Vikas Rao, chief technology officer at Dark Matter Technologies. “We built Ask Aiva differently. As one of the first AI experiences woven into the fabric of a mortgage LOS and deployed at scale, it gives lenders the ability to trace every answer back to its source, all within the system where they already work.”

Future releases will expand Ask Aiva’s capabilities to include additional lender-specific content sources, enabling institutions to incorporate underwriting guidelines, product matrices and internal policies, as well as broader support across Dark Matter’s loan officer, borrower, broker and seller portals. Additional enhancements will introduce borrower-facing capabilities and extend Ask Aiva across Dark Matter Technologies’ product suite.

ABOUT DARK MATTER TECHNOLOGIES:

Operating with the nimble nature of a startup and the disciplined maturity of one of the industry’s leading providers, Dark Matter Technologies delivers powerful technology with unparalleled automation and relentless innovation to leading mortgage lenders, servicers and companies nationwide.

Friday Harbor integrates with Calyx Path Platform to bring AI pre-underwriting directly into the flow of the loan

Lenders on the Calyx Path Platform can identify and resolve loan issues earlier, reducing rework and keeping loans moving forward with fewer interruptions

SEATTLE, Wash., April 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor today announced a new integration with the Calyx Path Platform that brings AI-powered pre-underwriting directly into the flow of the loan. Instead of waiting until underwriting to uncover issues, lenders can now review borrower documents, surface potential problems and resolve them earlier while maintaining consistent, reliable loan data throughout the lifecycle.

Friday Harbor integrates with Calyx Path Platform
Image caption: Friday Harbor integrates with Calyx Path Platform.

Friday Harbor equips loan officers to structure smarter deals with dynamic pre-underwriting capabilities like Income and Asset Sandbox. Originators can test scenarios against program guidelines to qualify more borrowers and place them in the right products with greater confidence. The platform is built to handle the complexity of real-world loan files, so loan officers spend less time chasing paperwork and more time on what moves the needle: client relationships, referral partner growth and pipeline management.

At the same time, Friday Harbor enables loan officer assistants, processors and other fulfillment team members to review borrower documents and loan data as files are assembled. The platform flags income calculation errors, missing verifications and guideline conflicts, then presents a clear resolution path so teams can correct issues before the loan file reaches underwriting. Cleaner files arriving at the underwriting desk translate into fewer conditions and fewer file touches for underwriting teams.

“Cleaner files mean lower costs and faster closings,” said Friday Harbor CEO Theo Ellis. “When lenders apply underwriting intelligence earlier in the origination process, they reduce costly rework, improve pull-through and compress the time needed to get to closing. Underwriters spend less time chasing conditions and more time making real risk decisions, ultimately increasing underwriting productivity per FTE.”

The Calyx Path Platform is a data-centric mortgage platform designed to coordinate the lifecycle of a loan from application through closing. Built on a unified data model and workflow engine, the platform reduces manual handoffs, maintains consistency across the loan and allows work to move forward with fewer interruptions.

“Lenders are looking for ways to improve file quality earlier without adding more friction to their process,” said Jeff Davis, director of sales at Calyx. “By bringing pre-underwriting intelligence directly into the flow of the loan, teams can catch issues sooner and reduce the amount of rework later. It greatly aligns with our move toward a more coordinated, data-driven lifecycle where the loan can move forward with fewer interruptions.”

GeekyAnts Launches AI Pods to Close the Enterprise AI Production Gap

Outcome-based embedded delivery model includes a six-month warranty on AI-generated code and production-grade infrastructure from day one

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — GeekyAnts, a ​​global technology consulting and product development company, today announced the formal launch of GeekyAnts AI and AI Pods, a two-tier delivery program built to take enterprise AI systems from proof of concept to production, addressing the infrastructure and accountability failures that have stalled most AI pilot programs in 2026.

GeekyAnts
Image caption: GeekyAnts.

According to EY, 82 percent of enterprises are running active AI proofs of concept. Gartner estimates that more than half of those pilots never reach full deployment. The failure point is rarely the model. It is the operational layer that the model depends on to function reliably, securely, and within compliance boundaries.

“Building an agent that works in a demo is no longer the hard problem, as the tooling for that is widely available and improving every quarter,” said Kumar Partik, CEO of GeekyAnts. “The hard problem is building the operational layer that makes it work in production: across real transaction volumes, inside regulated data environments, and under the scrutiny of a compliance audit the demo never anticipated. That is exactly what we built AI Pods to solve.”

THE PRODUCTION GAP

Building a working AI agent takes days, sometimes hours, with the tooling available today. Taking it to production is a different problem entirely. The agent itself is roughly ten percent of the work. The remaining 90% is infrastructure: deployment pipelines, latency benchmarks under real-world load, token-cost guardrails, monitoring for output drift, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, governance frameworks that survive a compliance audit, and the observability tooling that tells an engineering team what the system is actually doing at any given moment.

In financial services, the gap has a specific shape. A real-time fraud detection system that performs accurately in a test environment degrades silently in production because no monitoring layer was built to catch decision drift over time. A pilot that processed 50 transactions a day falls under 1.2 million because the underlying infrastructure was never stress-tested under production load. And in a regulated environment, a system that cannot generate a forensic audit trail for every decision it makes is not a production system. It is a liability. Compliance review halts the deployment. The initiative gets deprioritized. The AI budget gets questioned.

In healthcare, the failure mode is equally predictable. Clinical documentation systems and patient triage tools built on AI require accuracy at a level that no generalist engineering team can validate without a purpose-built evaluation framework. A system with 80 percent accuracy in a demo is a 20 percent error rate in a patient record. Healthcare AI that cannot demonstrate its decision trail, its accuracy benchmarks, and its monitoring layer will not clear a security or legal review. Most do not.

The root cause is organizational as much as technical. Enterprise engineering teams are evaluated on shipping a prototype that impresses in a review meeting, not on building the operational layer that keeps it running a year later. Infrastructure design gets deferred because it slows the demo cycle. A senior AI engineer with LLM orchestration and observability experience costs $180,000 or more in base salary, requires three to six months to recruit, and represents a single point of failure if they leave mid-project. The delivery model breaks before production code ships.

HOW AI PODS WORK

GeekyAnts has structured its AI delivery program around two tiers. GeekyAnts AI is a full-stack consulting and delivery practice for enterprise AI transformation. AI Pods is a pre-configured embedded team model for organizations that need continuous delivery capacity rather than a project engagement. Both tiers operate on the same production standard: infrastructure is not a second phase. It is designed from day one.

The structural differentiation is in the accountability model. AI Pods engagements are priced by outcome, by feature shipped, migration completed, or integration live, and not by hours billed or tokens consumed. Every custom agent configuration and RAG knowledge base built during an engagement is the client’s property from day one, not held on the vendor’s infrastructure. And GeekyAnts backs its AI-generated code with a six-month warranty: if a severity-one defect traceable to a Pod’s output surfaces within six months of delivery, the company fixes it at zero cost. In an industry where liability for AI-generated code failures typically transfers to the buyer at handoff, that warranty is not a standard term.

PRODUCTION RESULTS

A fintech client running a real-time transaction monitoring system built through an AI Pod reached 92 percent fraud detection accuracy across 1.2 million daily transactions, with sub-second response latency. The system shipped with token cost guardrails, a defined audit trail for every decision, and a monitoring layer that tracks output drift without manual intervention. The engagement moved from proof of concept to production in four weeks on a fixed-outcome model.

A second engagement, for an enterprise SaaS client running vendor risk and compliance workflows, reduced vendor onboarding time by 65 percent through an AI-powered intelligence platform automating risk scoring, compliance tracking, and contract monitoring. The platform was built audit-ready by design, so procurement teams could approve vendors faster without sacrificing the documentation trail required for regulatory review. Delivery completed in twelve weeks, on time, with zero launch blockers.

GeekyAnts AI and AI Pods are active across fintech, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS engagements in North America. Engineering and technology leaders working through a specific use case, whether an AI feature stalled in prototype, a system without a monitoring layer, or a compliance review that halted a deployment, can reach the team at geekyants.com

FAXVIN Marks 16 Years of Helping Buyers and Dealers Make More Informed Vehicle Decisions

Founded on March 26, 2010, FAXVIN marks sixteen years in vehicle-history reporting with a data platform built to make used-vehicle research faster, clearer, and more practical

EDINBURGH, UK, March 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Today, we at FAXVIN are proud to mark 16 years in business. Since our founding on March 26, 2010, we have focused on one core mission: helping buyers, sellers, and automotive businesses make more informed decisions by giving them easier access to vehicle history information.

FAXVIN
Image caption: FAXVIN logo.

What began as VINCarHistory has grown into FAXVIN, a broader vehicle intelligence platform offering vehicle history reports, VIN checks, VIN decoding, license plate lookup, recalls, and other VIN-based research tools designed to reduce uncertainty before a purchase, trade, or inventory decision.

As of March 2026, our platform has provided more than 3,000,000 reports, built a database of more than 14 billion records, and covers over 820 million vehicles, with historical data collected since 1981. FAXVIN also reaches more than 280,000 monthly unique visitors.

Our reports compile records from licensed data providers and official databases into a single time-stamped report. Depending on source availability, that may include title history and brands, odometer readings, total-loss indicators, theft indicators, prior registration jurisdictions, recalls, lien or impound-related flags, and service, inspection, or auction entries from partner sources. FAXVIN reports also include NMVTIS data obtained through approved NMVTIS data providers.

For sixteen years, our goal has stayed the same: make vehicle history easier to access, easier to understand, and more useful when a real decision has to be made. We believe buyers and dealers should be able to review critical vehicle records in a format that is direct, practical, and built for action, not confusion.

This anniversary also marks the start of our next chapter. In March 2026, we welcomed Kevin Carter as Head of Product. As we continue to improve report clarity, usability, and decision-support tools across the platform, his leadership will help guide the next phase of product development at FAXVIN.

“Sixteen years in this market means sixteen years of earning trust one report at a time,” said a FAXVIN spokesperson. “We built FAXVIN to help people understand a vehicle’s past before they commit money, time, or risk. That remains our focus today, and it will remain our focus as we keep improving the platform for both consumers and businesses.”

As we look ahead, we remain committed to accuracy, accessibility, and continuous product improvement. Our job is simple: give people a clearer picture of a vehicle’s history so they can make better decisions with fewer surprises.

About FAXVIN

FAXVIN is an online vehicle history and VIN-based lookup platform founded on March 26, 2010. Formerly known as VINCarHistory, the company provides vehicle history reports, VIN checks, VIN decoding, license plate lookup, recall research, and related tools that help consumers and automotive businesses evaluate used vehicles more confidently. FAXVIN compiles data from licensed providers and official databases, including NMVTIS via approved providers, and serves users in the United States and beyond.

London AI Startup Offers Free Tool to Make AI-Written Text Undetectable – And a Detector to Catch It

LONDON, UK, March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Coda One has built two tools that probably shouldn’t exist in the same company. One rewrites AI-generated text so it reads like a person wrote it. The other scans any text and tells you exactly how much of it looks machine-made. Both are free. Neither requires an account.

Before and after: Coda One's AI Humanizer drops a detection score from 56% to 12% in one click.
Image caption: Image caption: Before and after: Coda One’s AI Humanizer drops a detection score from 56% to 12% in one click.

The London-based startup launched both tools on the same platform, and founder Miles Wong doesn’t see a contradiction.

“Everyone’s using AI to write now. That’s not the issue,” Miles said. “The issue is that most of it reads like AI wrote it — and Google knows, your editor knows, your professor knows. We built one tool for the people writing, and one for the people checking. Turns out they’re often the same person.”

The humanizer isn’t subtle about what it does. Paste in a block of ChatGPT output, pick a mode — Academic, Blog, Formal, or six others — and it comes back rewritten. Different sentence lengths. Different word choices. The kind of small imperfections that make text feel human. Miles says the output consistently passes major detection platforms including GPTZero, Turnitin, and Originality.ai.

The detector works the other way. Feed it any text and it highlights sentences that look AI-generated, with a probability score for each. It’s free with no daily cap — Wong’s reasoning being that if you’re going to sell a humanizer, you’d better give people a way to check the result.

What’s interesting is who’s actually using these tools. It’s not mainly students. Wong says the biggest user group is content marketers and SEO teams. Agencies producing blog posts, landing pages, and product descriptions at scale. They draft with AI because it’s fast, then humanize because Google’s algorithm updates have made AI-pattern content a ranking liability. The detector gets used on the other end — editors and clients checking deliverables before they go live.

The academic use case exists too. Universities have rolled out detection tools. Students want to use AI as a starting point without getting flagged. Coda One’s tool page includes a note encouraging users to follow their institution’s policies. Wong frames it as editing, not cheating: “Your ideas stay. Your arguments stay. We just fix how it sounds.”

The humanizer sits inside a broader platform. Coda One offers 59 free tools — PDF merge and compress, image background removal, developer utilities like JSON formatting and JWT decoding. All the non-AI tools run in the browser. Files don’t touch a server. A Chrome extension puts the humanizer and detector into the right-click menu on any website.

Pricing: detection is free, no limits. The humanizer and other AI tools get three free uses a day. Paid plans run $9.99 to $39.99 a month. Everything else — the PDF tools, the image tools, the dev tools — stays free permanently.

ABOUT CODA ONE

Coda One is a London-based AI startup. One free platform replacing scattered tool subscriptions — AI writing, PDF, image, and developer tools. No signup needed. https://www.codaone.ai/.

Friday Harbor partners with Waterstone Mortgage to expand underwriting capacity

National lender adopts AI pre-underwriting technology to support production growth without adding fulfillment staff

SEATTLE, Wash., March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced that Waterstone Mortgage has implemented its AI pre-underwriting platform to strengthen file quality and expand underwriting capacity across the lender’s nationwide retail operation.

Friday Harbor partners with Waterstone Mortgage to expand underwriting capacity
Image caption: Friday Harbor partners with Waterstone Mortgage to expand underwriting capacity.

Waterstone Mortgage, a national retail lender with more than 200 loan officers operating in 48 states, deployed Friday Harbor to help surface issues earlier in the loan process and deliver cleaner files to its lean underwriting team. Since implementation, Waterstone has seen stronger pre-approval confidence, faster file resolution and fewer conditions at the underwriting desk.

“Cleaner files mean our underwriting team can focus on high-value risk decisions instead of clearing avoidable conditions,” said Jake Rowoldt, vice president of information services at Waterstone Mortgage. “Friday Harbor is the first AI solution we’ve tried that actually delivers on what it promises. It’s helping us scale production while maintaining the standards that define our business.”

Friday Harbor analyzes loan files during origination to flag missing documents, surface income calculation issues and identify potential underwriting conditions. The tool evaluates files against investor guidelines and lender overlays, providing loan officers with visibility into problems that would otherwise emerge days or weeks later in the process.

“Waterstone approached this implementation with a clear understanding of what they needed: a way to improve file quality without disrupting their workflows or undermining the expertise of their underwriters,” said Theo Ellis, CEO of Friday Harbor. “Their success demonstrates what becomes possible when lenders use AI to support judgment rather than replace it.”

Waterstone piloted Friday Harbor in late 2024 and has since rolled the platform out across its sales and operations teams. Loan officers report that Friday Harbor’s income and asset calculations align closely with their own analysis and underwriting’s final determinations, building confidence in pre-approval scenarios involving complex borrower situations.

The implementation has driven strong engagement, with teams actively incorporating the platform into their daily workflow within weeks of launch. The integration with Waterstone’s Encompass loan origination system from ICE Mortgage Technology allows loan officers to access Friday Harbor’s capabilities without disrupting their established processes.

Floify powers launch of Timberline Mortgage

Community bank selects scalable point-of-sale platform to support growth across Colorado markets

BOULDER, Colo., March 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that Timberline Bank has selected its platform to power its recently launched mortgage division. Founded in 2004, Timberline Bank is a Colorado-based community bank serving customers across western Colorado with locations in Grand Junction, Montrose and Aspen, delivering relationship-focused banking tailored to the needs of its local communities.

Launched in December 2025, Timberline Mortgage delivers personalized, competitive home financing solutions to local borrowers at each branch, backed by the strength and local commitment of its parent company.

As part of standing up the mortgage division, the six-person lending team conducted a comprehensive review of loan origination systems (LOS) and POS providers. “What became clear through the process was that Floify was offering a true partnership,” said Justin Harris, president of Timberline Mortgage. “As a newly launched mortgage division, it was critical for us to have a team that would support us as we grow. Floify’s onboarding and ongoing support gave us confidence that they’ll evolve alongside us.”

Timberline Mortgage worked closely with Floify’s implementation and training teams through twice-weekly working sessions tailored to the bank’s specific needs. Rather than requiring dedicated internal staff to manage the technology stack, Timberline has relied on Floify’s support team to configure workflows, milestones, and integrations with its LOS and pricing engine.

“We’re proud to support Timberline Bank as they launch Timberline Mortgage and deepen their commitment to community lending,” said Joshua Steffan, SVP and Group General Manager at Porch Group and Interim President and General Manager of Floify. “Community banks excel at relationship-driven service, and our role is to equip them with intuitive, scalable technology that strengthens that advantage. Floify will enable Timberline to grow confidently while delivering the seamless, high-touch experience their customers expect.”
