Costa Mesa, CA [September 18, 2019] – MeridianLink, the developer of the industry’s first multi-channel account opening and loan origination platform, is a leading provider of enterprise business solutions for financial service organizations.  MeridianLink announces today its expanded leadership team, designed to strengthen its long-term market positioning, including naming Nicolaas Vlok as CEO.

Finicity’s digital verification report provides a faster process and more pleasing customer experience

SALT LAKE CITY – June 20, 2019 – Finicity, a leading provider of real-time financial data access and insights, announced today an integration with LendingQB, a leading provider of SaaS loan origination technology solutions. LendingQB’s platform now uses Finicity’s digital Verification of Assets (VoA) solution to allow lenders to free up resources, increase processing speed and reduce mortgage fraud while providing borrowers with a more efficient and positive experience.

“Digitizing the loan origination process is the key to the future of lending,” said Steve Smith, Finicity CEO. “We’re proud to be one of the tech providers behind this movement and are glad to work with leading digital loan originators like LendingQB to help the industry evolve and improve the experiences for lenders and borrowers alike.”

LendingQB provides solutions that help mortgage lenders reduce costs, maintain compliance and increase profitability, while still putting their customers first. This comes from LendingQB’s unique approach to loan origination system building — layering its core platform with best-of-breed components to create the ideal solution for each lender.

“At LendingQB, we pride ourselves on our ability to seek out the best technology and partnerships to combine with our solution,” said Tim Nguyen, CEO of MeridianLink, the parent company of LendingQB. “This creates a competitive advantage for lenders that delivers a more meaningful experience to the people that really matter: borrowers.”

Both Finicity’s verification solutions are delivered under the CRA framework, which allows borrowers to directly obtain information on reports or resolve discrepancies. Finicity’s status as a registered CRA is a symbol of its commitment to consumer control and empowerment, as well as its dedication to the requirements of the lending space.

Finicity is an authorized, integrated provider of asset verification reports within Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter® (DU®). This gives lenders a validated asset report through Fannie Mae’s Day 1 Certainty™ initiative.

COSTA MESA, CALIF. JUNE 12, 2019

—CoreLogic FactCheck and Property Tax Estimator services now available on the LendingQB loan origination system—

CoreLogic^® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled services provider, today announced that their FactCheck income calculation and analysis solution and Property Tax Estimator report are now available on the LendingQB^® Loan Origination System (LOS). When combined with the previously existing CoreLogic integrations on the LendingQB LOS, Instant Merge credit report, Flood Determination services, LoanSafe reports, income verification and valuation solutions, these two new integrations provide LendingQB users with an end-to-end underwriting solution from a single provider.

FactCheck extracts borrower income data directly from source images and data sets. Once extracted, FactCheck automatically processes the borrower’s income information via a customizable rules engine, and allows underwriters to easily update calculations, document exceptions and track changes using a transparent audit log. The solution’s Document Inventory tool automatically identifies missing documents, and the Income Finder tool automatically flags potential sources of new income. By leveraging a fixed set of rules in a repeatable, automated process, FactCheck ensures that teams of underwriters are evaluating income the same way every time, increasing efficiencies and helping reduce compliance and buy-back risks.

Property Tax Estimator is designed to significantly increase the accuracy of Loan Estimates, reduce compliance risk and improve the customer experience. By delivering highly accurate tax data early in the process, Property Tax Estimator also helps underwriters qualify the borrower’s ability to financially support all mortgage costs and improves the onboarding process for servicers. Additionally, it eliminates the need for any specialized skills required for data procurement and provides a consistent workflow process no matter the property, exemption status, county exception complexity, and loan officer tenure.

“The inclusion of FactCheck and Property Tax Estimator on LendingQB continues our mission of providing mortgage professionals with the most comprehensive suite of products on the most innovative platforms in the industry,” said Kevin Mullins, principal, business development for CoreLogic. “With these new integrations, LendingQB users will now be able to better streamline their workflows with an integrated end-to-end underwriting solution from CoreLogic.”

LendingQB is a software system that consolidates all aspects of mortgage lending into a single, fully integrated platform. From loan origination to funding, LendingQB is an end-to-end system that leverages the power and cost-efficiency of web-based computing for a smoother, more efficient mortgage lending workflow.

“CoreLogic has always been tremendously supportive of LendingQB. They’ve constantly strived to utilize our Open API to give lenders innovative products to originate loans with ease,” said Tim Nguyen, CEO and co-founder of MeridianLink. “The addition of the FactCheck and Property Tax Estimator tools has successfully created a full suite of innovative products providing our current and future clients with an end-to-end underwriting solution from a service provider we all trust.”

January 31, 2019

COSTA MESA, CALIF — LendingQB, a provider of SaaS mortgage origination technology, ranked highest in overall satisfaction among the top-10 mortgage loan origination system (LOS) providers by lender share for the fourth straight year according to The STRATMOR Group’s 2018 Technology Insights Study.

The report’s key LOS observations show that lenders were as satisfied with LendingQB as they were with proprietary systems with a score of 8.6 out of 10, the highest ratings among the top 10 LOS vendors in terms of market share.

LendingQB’s functionality ratings were consistently higher than the survey average across all 20 categories that were surveyed. The report also highlights that LendingQB and PriceMyLoan both performed well with a dominant number two position in each respective market share.

The study shows that 92.8 percent of respondents rated LendingQB’s overall customer support either highly effective or adequately effective, with 60.7 percent of that being highly effective.

“Service and support continue to be a major difference-maker that separates LendingQB from its competitors,” said Nicholas Santarelli, Vice President of IT for Mid-Island Mortgage Corp. “With other vendors, you’d be lucky if they respond at all. Whether by email, phone or chat, I can always depend on the LendingQB team to get back to us as soon as possible.”

Another key observation from the STRATMOR report shows LendingQB’s built-in loan pricing tool, PriceMyLoan, is an important player with a 95 percent overall satisfaction rating in functionality effectiveness across nine categories.

PriceMyLoan is built within the LendingQB platform and is included at no additional cost, eliminating the need to purchase an additional pricing tool that lacks the level of integration that LendingQB can provide.

“While we are very pleased to be recognized as our industry’s most reliable and satisfactory vendor partner, we are very excited to see how we can set the bar even higher moving forward,” said David Colwell, vice president of strategy at LendingQB. “The numbers in the study speak for themselves. Our clients recognize that we are more than just a vendor, and their success remains our top priority.”
