Docutech and Blend Announce Integration for Streamlined Loan Origination Experience

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Oct. 8, 2018 – Docutech, the leading provider of document, eSign, eClose, and print fulfillment technology, today announced its collaboration with Blend, one of the consumer lending industry’s leading digital platforms. The partnership will support integration between the Blend platform and Docutech’s document and eSignature solutions to enable lenders and borrowers to tap into a more streamlined, digitally-focused origination process starting at the point of sale.

For lenders, Blend’s digital mortgage platform promotes a more streamlined workflow for the entire process to ensure compliance and help improve speed-to-close by providing a more accurate, holistic view of the borrower’s financial profile. In addition, borrowers gain a more modern, transparent mortgage experience, which enables them to finalize their loan application from any device and secure approval much faster. Once fully completed, the integration will give Blend’s customers access to Docutech’s eSign and eDelivery functionality powered by the company’s all-in-one eSigning solution, Solex. Lenders will also reap the benefits of seamless delivery of electronic initial documents to borrowers, and borrowers will be able to receive, review, and sign their documents anytime, anywhere and from any device.

“Blend’s purpose is to bring simplicity and transparency to consumer finance in line with expectations from both lenders and borrowers that this process is as easy as the rest of their digital lives,” said Nima Ghamsari, co-founder and CEO of Blend. “Partnering with Docutech, a company well-aligned with our strategic vision, will provide us with further means to improve the origination process moving forward.”

Through the integration, Blend customers will also gain broader access to accurate and compliant loan disclosures for all 50 states directly in their existing digital platform in collaboration with Docutech’s dynamic document generation engine, ConformX. Working together, the two companies will enable lenders to streamline and expedite loan originations while improving quality, compliance and customer service.

“While new innovations in technology continue to emerge all across the mortgage industry, Docutech remains focused on taking these innovations and leveraging them in ways that not only meet the demands of today’s lenders and borrowers, but also create new efficiencies that were previously not possible,” said Amy Brandt, president and CEO of Docutech. “By integrating with Blend, we not only further emphasize our commitment to driving the industry’s acceptance of the digital mortgage, but also provide new means for executing traditional aspects of the mortgage process with greater speed, accuracy and efficiency.”
