Today's consumers expect an increasingly simple, fast and accurate application process. This has been made possible by digital solutions such as Finicity's Verification of Assets which can shorten the application process by as many as six days. Now borrowers can access this solution through Encompass Consumer Connect matching an automated, enhanced customer experience with the efficiency of digital verification.

"We believe that consumer expectations are driving the mortgage lending experience to one that is simple and intuitive," said Steve Smith, CEO and co-founder of Finicity. "We're excited to partner with Ellie Mae through the Encompass Consumer Connect platform to deliver a next-gen experience to borrowers while helping lenders create a more efficient origination process."
