Encompass chosen for comprehensive
capabilities, configurability, and rapid implementation
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a
leading global provider of technology and data, today announced
that Two Harbors Investment Corp.(NYSE:TWO) (“Two Harbors”), an MSR
+ Agency RMBS real estate investment trust, has selected the
Encompass® digital mortgage platform to support their new
direct-to-consumer recapture originations channel. Part of ICE’s
end-to-end digital housing finance ecosystem, Encompass is the
mortgage industry’s leading digital platform for lenders to
originate, service, sell and purchase loans faster – all from a
single system of record.
Since acquiring RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC (“RoundPoint”)
in 2023, Two Harbors has become the eighth largest servicer of
conventional loans in the country. The decision to expand into
mortgage loan originations is key to their strategy of retaining
servicing customers when interest rates drop and borrowers begin to
refinance their loans. After a thorough search, Two Harbors
identified Encompass as their platform partner in their effort to
build out a direct-to-consumer channel to streamline origination
workflows and provide an exceptional borrower experience.
“The built-in configurability and smooth implementation process
with ICE meant that we were able to begin offering loans to our
customers at RoundPoint within several months of our decision to go
with Encompass,” said Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and
CEO. “We’re planning to continue to take advantage of the
additional capabilities and greater efficiencies within the
integrated ICE technology ecosystem. When we consider the scope of
what we can achieve together, the possibilities are exciting and
will be beneficial to our customers.”
Encompass is key to the ICE end-to-end mortgage technology
ecosystem, which is digitizing the entire real estate and housing
finance lifecycle to create a better experience for lenders,
homeowners, and investors. ICE is committed to investing in new
innovations that help companies drive operational efficiencies
across their entire business with visibility and control.
“We’re proud that Two Harbors chose the Encompass digital
lending platform as they strategically expand their mortgage
offerings.” said Tim Bowler, President of ICE Mortgage Technology.
“ICE’s technology will help them better meet the needs of borrowers
in this continuously evolving market. Two Harbors has been able to
quickly deliver for their customers – a testament to our ongoing
commitment to innovation that both helps mortgage companies operate
more efficiently and delivers a better experience to the American
homeowner.”
