Ellie Mae®, the leading cloud-based platform provider for the mortgage finance industry, announced today the expansion of the integration with Wells Fargo to offer document delivery in addition to data delivery through Encompass Investor Connect™.

The expanded collaboration includes the ability to transmit documents in addition to data, providing holistic loan delivery prior to funding. It enables the ability to manage the types of documents required, reducing the possibility of suspense due to missing documents and leading to faster funding.

“The expanded integration between Wells Fargo and Ellie Mae offers a greater degree of automation and simplifies key processes for our joint customers,” said Patrick Hellman, SVP, Wells Fargo Home Lending – Capital Markets. “By adding document delivery to our existing data delivery capabilities through Investor Connect, our clients will realize increased efficiency in their shops and faster funding from us – without compromising quality.”

Investor Connect is the secure system-to-system workflow between lenders and correspondent investors that ensures delivery of accurate and compliant loan packages as part of the Encompass™ Digital Lending Platform. It supports the needs of lenders and investors, removing the manual loan package delivery process by automating directly from the Encompass® LOS to the investor. This improves purchase times while enhancing efficiency, accuracy and compliance. Today, Investor Connect includes eight of the 15 largest correspondent investors and represents 53% of all closed loan delivery volume.

Ellie Mae also has established partnerships with other correspondent investors, with more to be announced. With the addition of documents to a growing base of correspondent investors, the workflow can be more consistent for lenders. Over 200 Encompass lenders use the Investor Connect integration to deliver to these correspondent investors, representing over 10,000 transactions per month.

“Ellie Mae’s mission is to automate everything automatable for the residential mortgage industry,” said Parvesh Sahi, senior vice president of business development for Ellie Mae. “Wells Fargo’s expansion into document delivery further streamlines key processes for our mutual customers and provides a better user experience that is aligned with market expectations.”
