Seamless Technology Integration Speeds Origination, Processing for Lending Departments

SPOKANE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#blendlabsinc–Mortgage technology provider SharperLending^®announced today a secure, digital data integration and partnership between their XpertOnline^® mortgage credit reporting system and Blend’s Digital Lending Platform. Through the seamless system-to-system integration, Blend’s lender and bank customers are able to request, receive and store consumer credit data for underwriting purposes and consumer credit scores from the credit reporting agencies that use XpertOnline to amplify the loan origination process.

This integration provides secure access to data from dozens of credit reporting agencies and service providers on Blend’s platform, and enables loan officers to evaluate credit risk faster and make critical lending decisions more efficiently. In addition to consumer assets, liabilities and scores, they can also order account supplements, request public record data, provide credit disclosures, and more – all from within their familiar LOS to promote efficiency.

“There is real value in decreasing the number of vendor systems lenders have to log in to,” says David Chiappe, President of SharperLending LLC. “The partnership brings our valued credit reporting agency clients more opportunities to deliver their data and empowers Blend’s customers with dozens of credit providers through a single integration. Our partnership will provide both Blend and SharperLending with a more effective means of supporting our mutual client base.”

“As we continue to help lenders and financial institutions expand their capabilities and adapt to meet changing customer needs, this partnership with SharperLending gives loan officers access to their credit technology solutions and further streamlines the lending landscape,” says Brian Martin, Head of Business Development at Blend.
