OpenClose’s Mitch Swanson Honored by PROGRESS in Lending with Next Gen Leader Award

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- 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.

"Mitch is an integral member of our product development team who is well-respected by his colleagues, industry peers and OpenClose's customers," said Allen Pollack, vice president of innovation at OpenClose. "He is a dynamic, multi-faceted person who is stacked with mortgage technology experience at both the vendor and lender levels.

OpenClose Adds DataVerify Solutions to its LenderAssist™ LOS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- OpenClose®, a leading fintech provider of mortgage software solutions for banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders, announced that it has integrated its LenderAssist™ loan origination system (LOS) with the DataVerify® DRIVE® platform to seamlessly validate borrower provided data.

Directly from within LenderAssist, users can initiate a comprehensive data verification analysis that compares borrower information across multiple data sources to validate their information. The lender receives a full DRIVE report and is alerted when variances occur during the origination process.

"Incorporating the DataVerify technology into our LOS helps protect our customers and offers time saving efficiencies," said Vince Furey, CRO at OpenClose. "Our integration with DataVerify takes the validation of data many steps further than manually checking information on the borrower's loan application in order to accurately assess and mitigate risk. The value of this new interface is clear-cut."

Using the DRIVE® platform, OpenClose customers can now cross check key information on the borrower's loan application such as phone numbers, addresses, NMLS licenses, both custom and industry watchlists, and more. DataVerify automatically combs and compares the results from many different databases to pinpoint the same risk factor in order to confirm or deny its existence.

The DataVerify DRIVE platform also checks the borrower's background for bankruptcies, foreclosures, liens and judgments, real estate property owned, driver's license validity, and other information that affects lender and investor risk assessment. In addition, DataVerify offers the ability to efficiently manage the Undisclosed Debt Monitoring product through DRIVE® in partnership with Factual Data®.

"We are excited to have a direct integration with OpenClose and are confident that DRIVE®'s added functionality will benefit users residing on their LenderAssist LOS," said DataVerify President Brad Bogel. "The detailed reporting that DRIVE returns into LenderAssist will help our mutual customers identify potential fraud and streamline the process."

The DRIVE® platform is proven to automate aspects of the underwriting process including many tasks that are often manually completed by an underwriter. DRIVE® is based on a set of rules that a mortgage fraud expert would typically follow in diagnosing a problem, and its technology is able to identify nuances. The platform can identify instances of possible fraud, data inaccuracies, compliance issues, and highlights risk that lenders could potentially be exposed to throughout the lending process. Lenders are also empowered with the ability to configure specific rules in the platform to better fit their business model and adjust as their needs change.

Each integration is customized between OpenClose and ABT to model the customer's business workflow, which eliminates data input redundancy, prevents errors, and saves time.

This ability provides time savings and increased accuracy by populating client information directly from a system of record. This new integration further supports the fact that OpenClose is the best way to lend from open to close."

Organizations leveraging ABT's MortgageExchange solution do not require additional servers, software, coding, or maintenance. ABT builds fully functional interfaces using custom-configurations that follow the clients' business processes. Engagements for MortgageExchange are completed, tested, and in production within 90 days. OpenClose's RESTful API Suite enabled ABT to efficiently connect to its LenderAssist™ LOS and facilitate the secure transfer of data between advanced workflows that lenders leverage daily.

"Partnering with OpenClose unlocks a lot of doors for lending entities that use the MortgageExchange interface," said Justin Kirsch CEO. "At ABT, everything we design and build lives in the cloud and our teams manage all maintenance and upkeep, freeing lenders from concern or worry about any added cost and time required to maintain applications and the connecting interfaces. We firmly believe that time is money, and our clients invest the time saved building a more profitable operation."

Lenders using the OpenClose and ABT integration receive a report from MortgageExchange that provides full transparency showing what transpired with the data, identifying any issues with the loan data before it is sent to the target software platform, ensuring data accuracy.

New Integration Enables OpenClose Lenders to Automate MERS® Loan Registration and Transfer via Cyberlink’s eRAMP System

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- OpenClose(R), the industry-leading mortgage fintech provider and omni-channel loan origination system (LOS), and Cyberlink Software Solutions, a provider of optimization and development solutions for mortgage lenders, announced the completion of an integration that eases the time consuming and laborious method of registering loans one by one with MERS(R).

Cyberlink's eRAMP MERS Transaction Management solution integration works by taking bulk loans that OpenClose lender customers need to register or transfer with MERS, and processing this important task efficiently, quickly, and accurately regardless of the number of loans to submit. eRAMP data then updates OpenClose's LenderAssist(TM) LOS, which includes registration confirmation dates as well as transfer of rights confirmation dates.

"We continuously look for opportunities to automate redundant tasks. The integration with eRAMP accelerates workflow, reduces errors and frees OpenClose users to work on other tasks," stated Vince Furey, CRO of OpenClose. "We are pleased to introduce eRAMP's MERS end-to-end transaction processing solution to our customers knowing that it will save them valuable time and money."

eRAMP has been relied upon for MERS(R) transaction processing by lenders large and small since 2003. Whether it's registering thousands of loans or a couple dozen loans, it's done with the click of a mouse and with minimal manual intervention by the lender. Confirmation reports along with details are provided back to the lender from eRAMP.

"We're always excited when we deliver new features that save time and reduce costs for our customers," said Greg Uttal, president of Cyberlink Software Solutions. "Our goal is to secure additional business and accomplish more with less by way of technology. With the new OpenClose integration, we're right on target to deliver value to our mutual customers."

Innovation Technology Award Goes to OpenClose Loan Origination System

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- OpenClose(R), the industry-leading omni-channel loan origination system (LOS) and digital mortgage fintech provider, announced that it received PROGRESS in Lending Association's 2020 Innovation Award for its "truly game-changing solutions in the mortgage space." The award was given for OpenClose's newly combined end-to-end browser-based LOS, digital mortgage point-of-sale (POS) solution, native product and pricing engine (PPE), businesses intelligence (BI) capabilities, and RESTful API suite.

Award winners were selected by a panel of mortgage technology experts that selected winners based on each innovation's overall industry significance; the innovation's originality; the positive change the innovation made possible; the intangible efficiencies gained as a result of the innovation; and the hard cost and time savings that the innovation enables industry participants to achieve.

"We're ecstatic to be honored with this 2020 Innovation Award," said JP Kelly, president at OpenClose. "As PROGRESS in Lending acknowledged, we were the first to successfully create a single-source, 100 percent browser-based LOS and POS solution. The genesis of this model stemmed from us observing lenders having to deal with too many disparate technologies and vendors in order to automate digital lending processes, which can be prone to compatibility problems and increase cost per loan."

According to its website, PROGRESS in Lending states that while there are a lot of digital mortgage POS vendor offerings offering standalone solutions in the market, OpenClose was the ground-breaking vendor that decided to focus on developing the first truly consolidated digital mortgage POS and end-to-end multi-channel LOS solution offered by a single-source provider along with a native PPE, BI, and RESTful API suite.

We are the only mortgage fintech provider proven to implement a comprehensive, purely browser-based LOS with omni-channel digital lending capability," asserted Vince Furey, CRO at OpenClose. "As with any leader, our competitors are now copying our marketplace positioning, messaging and value proposition, but falling short. The entire team at OpenClose is appreciative of PROGRESS in Lending Association for recognizing our efforts with this award."

HousingWire Honors OpenClose as a 2020 Mortgage Tech100 Innovator

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- OpenClose(R), the leading mortgage fintech provider and omni-channel loan origination system (LOS), announced that due to its industry-pioneering technology innovations, successful launches and the resulting stellar lender outcomes, the company was named to the prestigious HousingWire 2020 Mortgage Tech 100 List.

OpenClose made the list because of their multiple advances in its single-source digital lending solution that consolidates robust front-end borrower/LO-facing digital mortgage POS technology with an omni-channel, fully browser-based, end-to-end LOS which also offers an embedded product and pricing engine (PPE) and BI/analytics capability. In addition, OpenClose developed a flexible RESTful API suite, IntegrationAssist(TM), that enables the company to more easily and cost effectively integrate with disparate systems.

The enhanced OpenClose platform cuts the cost to manufacture loans, eliminates multiple systems, delivers newfound efficiencies, optimizes origination and operations, streamlines workflows and enhances the consumer experience. More specifically, lenders benefited by OpenClose reducing the number of FTEs and external development costs lenders needed by up to 43 percent along with lowering the processing and underwriting cycle times from seven days to an astounding two hours.

"The winners of the 2020 HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage and Real Estate awards are truly the most impactful and innovative companies in housing. Not only do these companies empower their clients and users, they are supporting a more efficient, accessible and sustainable housing economy," said HousingWire CEO, Clayton Collins.

"At OpenClose, we're always innovating, enhancing our solution set and arriving at new ways to help our lender customers be as successful as possible," said JP Kelly, president of OpenClose. "Our entire organization is honored to have been selected as a HW 2020 Mortgage Tech100 award, which is a direct reflection our employees' hard work, passion and immense dedication to serving OpenClose customers."

HousingWire states that the goal of the Tech100 program is to provide housing professionals with a definitive list of the most innovative and impactful companies that can be leveraged to identify partners and solutions to the problems that mortgage lenders and real estate professionals face every day. In response to the expanding solutions landscape and HousingWire's diverse audience, this year the Tech100 program was divided into the HW Tech100 Mortgage and the HW Tech100 Real Estate.

"This year's Tech100 winners blew past innovation, moving beyond innovation to transformation," HousingWire Associate Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramírez said. "In both the real estate and mortgage sectors, fintech companies continue to create new ways to approach the housing process, improving efficiencies, cutting costs and creating a new experience for all parties involved."
