Finicity and Mortgage Cadence Team to Create a Better Borrower Experience
Mortgage Cadence to integrate Finicity’s asset verification solution with its loan origination software platform
DENVER and SALT LAKE CITY; May 31, 2018 – Mortgage Cadence, an Accenture (ACN) company, has signed an agreement to integrate Finicity’s Verification of Assets solution with its loan origination platforms, enabling clients to streamline and accelerate the loan process by generating a verification report with a single click, shaving up to six days off the traditional closing timeline.
The integration of the Finicity solution with Mortgage Cadence’s loan origination software platform is designed to further streamline and enhance the borrower experience. Borrowers consent to the use of their financial account data through a short online process, which then rapidly generates a verification report.
“Our goal as a financial data aggregator is to find best-in-class partners who are also committed to data access, quality and insights, and ultimately a better experience for borrowers,” said Steve Smith, Finicity CEO. “We’re excited to work with Mortgage Cadence to accelerate and improve the digital loan process.”
A leading provider of real-time financial data aggregation and insights, Finicity offers solutions that help lenders digitize and modernize the lending process, reducing friction for borrowers while providing better, cleaner data that reduces verification time to minutes instead of days. Upon consumer-permissioned account identification, reports can be generated in as little as 30 seconds.
“Our agreement with Finicity simplifies yet another important step in the mortgage process for both borrowers and lenders, getting everyone involved in the transaction to the closing table more quickly and with fewer steps,” said Brian Benson, executive manager of Services Center at Mortgage Cadence.
Finicity is an authorized, integrated provider of asset verification reports within Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter®, giving lenders a validated asset report through Fannie Mae’s Day 1 Certainty™ initiative. Because Finicity is also part of Fannie Mae’s single source validation (SSV) pilot, Fannie Mae can use transaction data from Finicity reports to validate assets, income and employment. A broader rollout of SSV is planned later this year and will build on Fannie Mae’s Day 1 Certainty initiative. Finicity is also an authorized Freddie Mac asset validation report provider, and the two organizations are working together on new methods to validate income from payroll deposit data from bank statements.
