Ellie Mae Launches New Major Release of Encompass All-in-One Mortgage Management Solution

Ellie Mae® (NYSE:ELLI), a leading provider of innovative on-demand software solutions and services for the residential mortgage industry, announced today that it has launched a new major release of Encompass, its all-in-one mortgage management solution. Encompass 17.2 enhancements help lenders of all sizes close more loans, shorten time to close and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Specifically, the new major release of Encompass includes support for 2018 HMDA collection and reporting changes that expand data capture related to applicants, property and loan features. Additionally, the new major release of Encompass offers secondary marketing enhancements and updates to Encompass Product and Pricing Service.

“With this major release of Encompass, we’re providing the innovative capabilities that enable our banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders to originate and fund mortgages with complete compliance, loan quality and efficiency,” said Jonathan Corr, president and CEO of Ellie Mae. “While data collection under the new Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) begins in January of 2018, this release gives clients support in advance for the new fields to provide greater time to educate, train and prepare.”

Encompass 17.2 enhancements include:

Support for 2018 HMDA Collection and Reporting Changes

As the industry compliance leader, Ellie Mae is again taking the lead in implementing and delivering solutions for lenders to be in compliance with regulations impacting their business. Encompass 17.2 enables collection of the new data set required for loans with a final disposition in 2018 and beyond in a single system of record. A HMDA LAR (Loan Application Register) compliant with the new guidelines published in the CFPB rule is featured in the solution, as well as substantial automation to reduce lender processing time and risk in creating their reports. Also included is the optional expanded Demographic Information Addendum.

Ellie Mae has a substantial number of tools and resources available to help clients prepare and train internal teams on the new HMDA Reporting Changes.
