ClosingCorp,
a leading provider of residential real estate closing cost data and
technology for the mortgage and real estate services industries, today
announced it has joined Blend’s
data-driven consumer lending ecosystem. Lenders using Blend’s platform
will now be able to instantly access real-time third-party provider
rates and fees from over 20,000 service providers.
The integration gives lenders the ability to manage fees delivered by
SmartFees within Blend’s point-of-sale (POS) system and the lender’s
commercial loan origination system (LOS). This makes ClosingCorp a
single-source of fee information since the data file created in Blend’s
platform can now pass through to the lender’s LOS, enabling lenders to
disclose from Blend or their LOS, as desired. The integration also
enables the lender to adjust loan characteristics, where fees can be
re-quoted as needed, helping to ensure compliance and improve
time-to-close metrics. Borrowers receive a modern, transparent
experience that allows them to complete an application from any device,
review pricing and get approved in just a few clicks.
“At Blend, our mission is to power a frictionless, compliant, and more
accessible consumer lending ecosystem,” said Ram Woo, Blend’s head of
business development. “ClosingCorp’s SmartFees brings us best-in-class
accuracy and efficiency, while providing a completely transparent
closing process for our clients and the consumers they serve.”
“Up until now, the previous ‘stare-and-compare’ between loan data and
documents has been a time-consuming and error-prone effort,” said Bob
Jennings, chief executive officer of ClosingCorp. “Integrating our
configurable fee solution with Blend’s data-driven consumer lending
platform creates a more efficient, transparent and user-friendly
experience across the board.”
