LoanScorecard, a provider of automated underwriting and compliance solutions, recently announced that MORE Lending has implemented Portfolio Producer as its automated underwriting system (AUS), product and pricing engine (PPE) and distribution solution.
MORE Lending is the wholesale division of Synergy One Lending, a San Diego-based mortgage lender licensed in 42 states, according to a press release. MORE Lending offers various non-agency loan products, including program options for foreign nationals, interest only, non-warrantable condos and recent credit events such as deeds-in-lieu, short sales and foreclosures.
Portfolio Producer is a sales distribution system that integrates with LoanScorecard’s AUS, Portfolio Underwriter, and PPE, Pricer1. It provides third-party originators (TPOs) access to a wholesale lender’s product and pricing options from within their loan origination system (LOS) or via the wholesale lender’s website.
Using Portfolio Producer, MORE Lending will be able to expedite the distribution of guidelines and pricing for their non-agency loan programs to TPOs via Calyx Point and their website. TPOs can search based on borrower profile, product type, rate and price to provide eligible products and pricing options to potential borrowers. If they like an eligible product and fully-adjusted price, TPOs can run “upfront decisioning,” and get back an in-depth Findings Report. The report provides an early indication of the likelihood that MORE Lending will approve the loan and reduces the likelihood that the TPO will provide inaccurate quotes to the borrower.
“Our goal is to provide the broker community with an automated solution that allows them to learn about our non-agency, non-QM offerings and gives them greater confidence when sharing these financing options with their borrowers,” MORE Lending President Steve Majerus said in the release. “LoanScorecard’s Portfolio Producer, combined with our first-class customer support, helps us differentiate our company among brokers and provide them with more options for their borrowers.”
“As wholesale lenders, like MORE Lending, look to take advantage of the growing non-agency, non-QM market, technology will be a critical factor in helping them distribute the product and pricing, as well as determine borrower eligibility,” LoanScorecard Executive Director Ben Wu said. “With Portfolio Producer, MORE Lending can increase broker adoption by delivering real-time product guidelines and pricing, as well as pre-qualifications, and ultimately accelerate their business growth.”
