February 18, 2016 – Cincinnati, OH – eLynx, the pioneer and leader in on-demand web-based compliance services to enable secure, Data-Validated MortgagesSM, announced today that it has completed an integration with RamQuest, a provider of comprehensive title and settlement services solutions. The integration enables lenders utilizing eLynx’s Expedite ID compliance solution to exchange property, fee and loan data electronically with thousands of settlement service providers using RamQuest. This bi-directional exchange of data simplifies the collaboration required for lenders to generate the Closing Disclosure mandated by the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rules (TRID).
RamQuest users can now directly access eLynx’s Electronic Closing Network ( eCN) without a separate sign-in. They can also receive lender fee data and send back settlement agent fees to the lender from within RamQuest’s production solutions, saving significant time, money and effort.
John Ralston, director of Title Services at eLynx, explained: “The customers of both companies can now easily and seamlessly share the data required to comply with TRID. This helps to increase accuracy, as well as to reduce the cycle times, potential closing delays and costs associated with consumer disclosures by eliminating the need for manual data entry and the manual exchange of data.”
RamQuest Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Brooks Yeager noted, “This expanded integration is based on MISMO/UMDP standards and supports the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Loan Quality Initiative in addition to the new TRID requirements.”
“Direct integration is far and away the fastest, most reliable, most accurate and preferred method for lender-settlement agent collaboration, and eliminates one of the greatest concerns about TRID compliance: the timely sharing of data between lenders and settlement agents,” said eLynx’s Ralston. “Because of these benefits, we are extending this capability to the entire eLynx registry of U.S. settlement service providers through integrations with RamQuest and other title production systems.”
