Movement Mortgage, PrimeLending, Stearns Lending, and New Penn Financial Select Docutech’s Solex eClose
Lenders Employ Hybrid to Full eClose Capabilities to Advance eMortgage Experience
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ., Sept. 17, 2018 – Docutech, the leading provider of document eSign, eClose and print fulfillment technology, today announced that Movement Mortgage, PrimeLending, Stearns Lending, and New Penn Financial have selected Solex eClose to facilitate a more streamlined, expedited digital mortgage experience.
Movement Mortgage, PrimeLending, Stearns Lending, and New Penn Financial each recognized the benefits of Solex eClose in serving to effectively help them accelerate and streamline the loan process from application to closing and reduce cycle times from closed loan to investor purchase through secure generation, delivery, signature, close, transfer and storage of electronic loan documents. As a complete end-to-end integrated eClosing solutions platform, Solex eClose enables each transaction to be as digital as possible from hybrid eclose capabilities all the way through full eNote eclose functionality.
“EasySign from Movement Mortgage is the next step in our journey to deliver the industry’s best digital experience for homebuyers, real estate agents and loan officers,” says John Third, chief operating officer for Movement Mortgage. “Solex eClose from Docutech helps us provide our clients with the transparent, accessible, timely and secure closing they expect from their lender.”
“At PrimeLending, our focus is clear – to provide the best mortgage experience possible for homeowners,” said Tim Elkins, EVP and CIO, PrimeLending. “Integrating Solex eClose with our digital mortgage platform is a great fit, giving us more ways to deliver the speed, convenience, transparency and security our customers demand and deserve.”
Approved by both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for eClosing, eNote and eVault functionality, the Solex eClosing platform, in partnership with Simplifile, provides lenders with a comprehensive integrated eClosing solution, with eSigning efficiencies from initial document generation through post-closing. In addition, the Solex eVault is integrated with the MERS eRegistry for all eNote management transactions.
“At Stearns, we are passionate about providing the best possible customer experience and continually innovating to ensure we that we close loans as fast as possible,” said Uday Devella, CIO, Stearns Lending. “Docutech understands the mission of Stearns Lending and has been with us every step of the way to deliver the best possible document and eSign experience providing efficiencies for our customers and our operations.”
Solex eClose enables lenders to extend the digital setting from the initial delivery of the closing document package to the borrower all the way through to eRecording. Through direct integration with ConformX, Docutech’s dynamic document generation engine, lenders can create accurate, data-driven electronic documents, including eNotes, which are then automatically and electronically delivered to Solex for the borrower to review and (optionally) eSign before closing. From there, Solex enables the closing agent and borrower to complete the closing electronically with full notarization capabilities. Once closing is complete, the necessary documents can be electronically recorded with the county recorder and are then returned to the lender for storage in Docutech’s secure eVault, which supports MERS eRegistry and eDelivery.
“As an organization, New Penn Financial specializes in finding the right loan to fit each of our borrowers and the unique needs they bring with them,” said Dena Kwaschyn, chief fulfillment officer for New Penn Financial. “With the help of Docutech’s Solex eClose, we can provide borrowers with an optimal level of efficiency and convenience while also assisting our organization in better managing the full loan process through a more digital mortgage experience.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to work alongside these innovative lenders as they deliver an electronic closing experience to their customers,” said Amy Brandt, president and CEO of Docutech. “As a company, we strive to remain at the forefront of the industry’s eMortgage evolution by providing lenders with expert guidance and leading-edge technology specifically designed to optimize efficiency and the customer experience.”
