New functionality centralizes decisioning for MI products and ensures accurate results
COSTA MESA, Calif., May 16, 2013 – LendingQB, an end-to-end provider of loan origination software, announced that it has implemented the mortgage insurance (MI) companies’ full set of underwriting guidelines into its automated underwriting system (AUS). As a result, MI eligibility and pricing is automatically calculated and paired with the investor’s underwriting decision for a complete and accurate decision that is rendered instantly at the point-of-sale (POS).
“One of the problems with calculating MI is that loan officers and underwriters are forced to individually visit each of the MI companies’ respective Web sites to determine eligibility and pricing, which is time consuming and error prone,” said David Colwell, vice president of corporate strategy at LendingQB. “Our proprietary AUS already houses the entire set of underwriting manuals for each investor. By implementing MI eligibility guidelines and rate cards into our decisioning engine, clients are able to quickly render an accurate decision with the click of a button—without having to bounce to other applications. This makes it a breeze to shop for the best MI products and prices.”
LendingQB manages and ensures that all of the guidelines and rates are current in its AUS for MI companies Radian, MGIC, Essent and Genworth. When a decision is rendered, loan products are paired with eligible MI products along with accurate debt to income (DTI) calculations and thus correct pricing. At the POS where loan officers are talking to borrowers, they are able to easily and quickly view side-by-side comparisons for all eligible products from each of the MI companies along with best execution pricing. Underwriters working in the back office are able to simply re-run the decision to ensure accuracy.
Using the AUS, lenders have full control over which MI providers are available for pairing and also the preferred order of providers. It also reduces the number of times needed to re-run the scenario in the pricing engine, especially between products of different terms and type, which is laborious and costly.
Colwell added: “While PPE venders are able to tap into MI pricing, they cannot decision off each investors’ entire underwriting manual. Our AUS, however, is able to pull and parse credit so trade lines can be taken into account when determining eligibility and rate. So what we’re doing is determining the loan’s product eligibility and incorporating it into MI product eligibility that performs a spot on DTI calculation. Ultimately, this results in a more accurate underwriting decision and thus a higher pull through rate.”

LendingQB’s LOS Helps Ventura County Credit Union Double its Volume in Just 12 Months
May 2, 2013
End-to-end browser-based LOS maximizes lending productivity and drives growth
COSTA MESA, Calif., May 2, 2013 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that since implementing its end-to-end loan origination system (LOS), California-based Ventura County Credit Union (VCCU) has been able to effectively manage rapid growth, maximize productivity across operations, cut originations costs and ensure excellence in member service. Using LendingQB’s LOS, VCCU was able to double its mortgage lending volume in just a 12 month period, and this was achieved with the addition of only one new staff member.
Because LendingQB’s end-to-end LOS utilizes a single database that is native to its platform, data can be effectively controlled thus reducing errors and eliminating manual touch points using a seamlessly connected workflow. Beginning at the point-of-sale (POS) through closing and funding, LendingQB’s browser-based design consolidates all of VCCU’s lending tasks onto a single platform that creates a true end-to-end experience.
“We’re seeing a big uptick in mortgage applications from our members and we needed one platform that could cost effectively manage our growth, keep us in compliance and ensure that our level of high touch interaction with members was not compromised in any way,” said Greg Uttal, director of lending at VCCU. “LendingQB proved to empower us to do more with less, reduce our cost per loan and optimize our lending practices as well as maximize employee performance. Unlike nearly all of the LOS platforms we looked at buying, LendingQB’s was one of the few that allowed us to run our mortgage unit using only a Web browser. There is no install whatsoever, which has really made it easy to use and virtually effortless to maintain.”
Key efficiencies gained include:
“We designed our LOS to flex and scale with all types of lending organizations to automate every single area of their lending processes as they grow and change with market conditions,” said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. “Most LOS platforms on the market today are not browser-based and cannot take organizations to the next level for the long-term. They may suffice for the now, but they do not future proof your organization. The success VCCU has had since implementing our LOS backed by actual metrics and their ability to capture more market share while easily managing growth is a testament to how advanced our system is.”

LendingQB Named a Top 50 Technology Service Provider for First Time
April 26, 2013
Launch of end-to-end browser-based LOS lands vendor on Mortgage Technology magazine’s 2013 list
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 26, 2013 – LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software, announced that it has been designated to Mortgage Technology magazine’s Top 50 Service provider’s list for the first time. The company attributes the value that its new loan origination system (LOS) is delivering to lending organizations as a key reason it made this year’s list.
According to the magazine, in order to make the list companies must excel in four primary criteria: drive the continued advancement of technology and services; provide a viable revenue model and value proposition to clients; offer exceptional customer service; and have a unique impact on the mortgage industry.
LendingQB's LOS platform is comprised of retail, wholesale and consumer direct point-of-sale Web portals for all lending channels; a product and pricing engine; proprietary AUS; loan processing; electronic documents, closing; secondary marketing; and interim servicing. The solution is proven to seamlessly connect workflows, eliminate manual touch points and optimize operational performance.
LendingQB’s clients report that they have realized a dramatic increase in employee productivity, a decrease in technology maintenance costs, and a reduction in the cost to originate loans. From a support standpoint, LendingQB does the heavy lifting during implementations for clients by configuring the entire LOS for them, whereas many vendors place the onus on the lender.
“Since our official launch of the platform at the end of 2011 we have experienced rapid adoption by lenders looking to upgrade their older LOSs with a solution that is truly browser-based with no software whatsoever to install,” said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. “We’re elated that Mortgage Technology magazine has recognized the immense value we deliver to our clients.”

Secondary Marketing Executive, April 2013
Vendors with a “You Configure” approach are not doing any favors for lenders

LendingQB Webinar Addresses Why Lenders are Challenged to Implement LOS Technology
March 21, 2013
Webinar will explore LOS implementation failures and how lenders can avoid them
COSTA MESA, Calif., March 21, 2013 – LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software, announced that it will be holding a free webinar on why lenders struggle to successfully implement new loan origination technology systems (LOS). The webinar will be held on March 27, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Research reveals that 62 percent of IT projects fail to meet their schedules; 49 percent run over budget; 47 percent had higher-than-expected maintenance costs; and 41 percent failed to deliver the expected business value and ROI. Attendees of the webinar will gain firm understanding as to why this is and how lenders can avoid becoming a statistic.
"Mortgage lenders are on the hunt for new LOS platform as a way to increase efficiency and maintain compliance with new lending rules," said Linn Cook, marketing director at LendingQB. "However, there's always the risk that LOS implementations go over budget or fail entirely, costing lenders time, money and the opportunity to gain market share. We've performed extensive industry research and fully understand why this is happening and what lenders can do to achieve a well-planned, successful implementation that meets their expectations and delivers an attractive ROI."
The webinar will explore the risks associated with LOS implementations and discuss the role of web-based software, customer service and the changing dynamics of vendor-client interactions in improving LOS implementation success. A real-world case study will be offered by a lender that has been through successful LOS implementations and also observed failed projects and those that fell short of expectations or went over budget.

Los Angeles-Based Mortgage Lender Lauds LendingQB for LOS Implementation Success
February 26, 2013
LOS ANGELES, Calif. and COSTA MESA, Calif., February 26, 2013 – LendingQB announced today that they successfully implemented their web-based, end-to-end mortgage lending platform for OGI Mortgage Bankers, a fast-growing mortgage lender based in Los Angeles, California. Within seven weeks of signing a contract, OGI was able to launch a fully configured LendingQB platform and hit the ground running. "Since I stepped in this business 25 years ago, I've never seen an implementation happen so quickly and thoroughly," said Harry Oh, president and CEO of OGI. "We made the decision to use LendingQB right before New Year's Day but we didn't expect to start using the system until after Easter. Being ahead of schedule saves us more than time and effort, it saves us money."
OGI is like many modern mortgage bankers in that they wanted to simplify their technology by replacing outdated client-installed software with a web-based system. "When we started the company in 2009, we bought a whole system – software, hardware, networking equipment – and spent an entire year getting it setup. We easily spent $20,000 on just configuration and training costs alone. Then our vendor got acquired," said Oh. "That's when we realized we had the wrong approach to technology. We're a mortgage lender, not an IT company. We don't need to own everything, including the headaches and extra costs."
In response, Oh actively looked for web-based LOS providers. Although there are only a handful of mortgage LOS vendors offering a web-based system, OGI felt it was a better long-term strategy. "We see other industries enjoying the benefits of web-based applications, so to us it's a proven model," Oh noted. "But we didn't make any compromises in order to get a web-based system. Price, quality and service still matter."
OGI selected LendingQB after a thorough evaluation process, which included testing with a live production system for an entire month. Oh cautioned that live testing was critical to their decision process. "We already went through a failed implementation so we didn't want any surprises," said Oh. "What did surprise us, however, was how quickly LendingQB handled our deployment and implementation." Oh found out that LendingQB takes all new clients through a comprehensive deployment process unlike any he's seen before. They started with a detailed workflow discussion of OGI's operations, and then provided them with an online tool to track task assignments and deployment status updates. "The day after we signed with LendingQB, their deployment team was sending us emails and scheduling meetings," Oh said. "They were involved with our implementation at the ground level, gathering information from us and making changes to our system directly."
Seven weeks later and their staff is trained and already using the platform. "When I think back to our first system and the amount of time and resources we poured into purchasing it and getting it setup, it's night and day," remarked Oh. "LendingQB is like a part of my staff. They set milestones and kept us on track and prioritized. Their organization and commitment was impressive."

LendingQB to Present Why Lenders Often Fail at LOS Implementations
February 7, 2013
Technology approach will be unveiled at Southern Secondary Market Conference
COSTA MESA, Calif., February 7, 2013 – LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software, announced that it will be exhibiting at the Texas Mortgage Bankers Association (TMBA) annual Southern Secondary Market Conference for the first time. The event will be held at the Marriott Woodlands Waterway Hotel and Convention Center in Houston, Texas on February 12-14, 2013.
At the conference, LendingQB plans to introduce its "You Configure vs. We Configure" technology approach to attendees, a concept that highlights the differences between Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and traditional software vendors and how this impacts the rate of LOS implementation success. "Lenders don't spend enough time thinking about what happens after they sign a contract," said Linn Cook, marketing director at LendingQB. "They're good at evaluating vendors for features, but they don't pay enough attention to how a platform will be implemented. That's why you see a lot of delays and failures."
In general, complex software implementations go over budgets and beyond scheduled timeframes 65 percent of the time and 35 percent of projects end in outright failure. LendingQB believes that lenders end up spending anywhere between $100,000 and $500,000 in extra costs to complete implementations.
"The real problem is that many lenders simply accept this as the cost of doing business. They accept it when vendors say, 'You configure it,'" said Cook. "This is where the SaaS model makes a huge difference." Providing LOS functionality through a web-browser not only cuts IT costs, but it allows vendors to take on more of the burden of implementation, configuration and general platform maintenance. "We've never had a failed implementation," Cook noted. "The 'We Configure' approach redefines the concept of service in a way that ensures implementation success."
LendingQB will be making presentations of its 'You Configure vs. We Configure' approach at the TMBA Southern Secondary Market Conference at booth #15 in the expo hall. For more information, please contact Linn Cook at (714) 957-6335, extension 2212 or email him at lncook@lendingqb.com.

January 23, 2013
LANSDALE, Pa., January 23, 2013 – Global DMS, the leading provider of Web-based compliant valuation management software, announced that it has integrated its valuation management software with LendingQB's end-to-end, browser-based loan origination system (LOS). This integration is part of a major initiative to advance valuation compliance by tightly integrating the company's eTrac platform with LOS vendors. As a result, the entire appraisal ordering and management process becomes seamless, efficient, cost effective and fully compliant with state and federal regulations.
Without having to leave LendingQB's LOS, lenders are now able to access Global DMS' eTrac platform to handle all of their valuation needs, including automated valuations, ordering full appraisals, automated appraisal reviews, and delivery to the Uniform Collateral Data Portal (UCDP) and institutional investors. This new seamless interface establishes system-to-system transaction processing that dramatically speeds up the ordering and appraisal management process for lenders by eliminating duplicate data entry, providing real-time appraisal process status updates and robust communication functionality between lenders and their valuation vendors.
"Our interface to Global DMS' eTrac system utilizes a three-point integration to allow our clients to easily order and manage appraisals; check real-time order status; and receive completed appraisal files back into the LendingQB LOS E-Docs Platform," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "Most LOS platforms and valuation software systems don't integrate seamlessly with one another, which makes it difficult for lenders and their appraisal management companies (AMCs) to share crucial data and communicate effectively."
Dang added: "Because appraisal quality and processes are highly regulated and scrutinized by federal regulators and the agencies, these issues have resulted in costly errors, longer cycle times and substantial compliance penalties. However, our new integration to Global DMS streamlines the appraisal ordering and management processes to improve effectiveness, reduce costs and mitigate the compliance risk associated with appraisals."
Company officials say that this initiative is more than technology that connects lenders to valuation products, AMCs and appraisers; it's an entire movement focused on loan quality that ensures stability of the mortgage system through sound collateral valuations.
"Due to numerous new and changing government regulations, appraisal independence has obviously become a major concern for lenders to keep apace and avoid penalties," said Vladimir Bien-Aime, chief executive officer at Global DMS. "Our solutions are proven to keep lenders in compliance, reduce costs, increase revenue, operate more efficiently and mitigate risk. Having trusted integration partners like LendingQB only provides more value for our mutual clients."

Consumers National Bank Establishes Mortgage Division and Facilitates Growth using LendingQB LOS
December 11, 2012
Implementation of LendingQB's end-to-end LOS platform provides the foundation for efficient lending practices
COSTA MESA, Calif., December 11, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software, announced that Ohio-based Consumers National Bank is successfully utilizing its Web-based loan origination system (LOS) to operate its entire mortgage lending business. LendingQB was selected specifically to launch the bank's mortgage business in April 2012. Since that time, Consumers National Bank has been able to grow its fledgling operations while keeping technology costs low and adding only minimal support staff.
Consumers National Bank made the implementation of technology a top priority before it launched its mortgage practice, opting to first implement LendingQB's end-to-end LOS as the backbone of its lending operation prior to hiring staff. This allowed the bank to work with LendingQB's implementation team to evaluate their technology and business objectives, and then configure a seamless workflow that avoided manual touch points to maximize employee productivity.
"We wanted a single platform that had the flexibility to adapt and scale with our lending practice as we expanded the business and brought on more employees," said Mike Stoffer, VP of mortgage services at Consumers National Bank. "By working with the team at LendingQB, we have been able to create a highly efficient lending process from the point-of-sale (POS) through underwriting, processing, closing and secondary marketing. My employees continue to be amazed at the power of the LendingQB system, how intuitive it is to use and how much easier it makes their jobs."
LendingQB's Edoc paperless system and seamless integrations with ComplianceEase and DocMagic allows Consumers National Bank to operate entirely within the LOS environment, automating critical processes and accelerating the flow of loan processes in an efficient manner.
"It almost seems implausible that we can do everything we need to operate our business from cradle to grave through a simple web-browser," Stoffer added. "Initial disclosures, closing documents, compliance checks, e-signatures – I've been in this business a long time and LendingQB has radically changed the way mortgage lenders are able to manage their business. Even LendingQB's support is unlike anything I've seen before. They provide a chat module that resides within the system itself so that my staff can ask questions on the spot and get a response instantly. This is the most responsive technical team I have worked with in my career and that's really made a difference. They are truly a long-term partner that listens to and works with my team."
Consumers National Bank reports that the LendingQB system has improved employee productivity and communication, provided complete visibility through detailed reporting, cut origination costs and positioned the bank well for future growth in mortgage lending. Further, LendingQB has enabled Consumers National Bank to become a 100 percent paperless operation.
"Consumers National Bank is an innovative organization dedicated to smart growth," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "We worked with them to configure LendingQB to model their specific workflow. Our best practices allowed them to maximize usage of our system before they originated a single loan, which has proven to be key to their success. Now, as they grow their mortgage lending unit, they'll be able to scale at a lower cost per and provide their customers with superior service at a better price."

LendingQB Shares Results from LOS Technology Evaluation Model
October 19, 2012
Enterprise Process Assessment reveals flaws in lenders' LOS buying decisions
COSTA MESA, Calif., October 19, 2012 – LendingQB, an end-to-end browser-based LOS provider, revealed the results from its Enterprise Process Assessment engagements with clients and prospects, which is a workflow evaluation model designed to help lenders make objective decisions on their technology initiatives.
LendingQB developed the Enterprise Process Assessment (EPA) as a tool to help lenders fully understand the drivers that motivate technology improvement efforts. "Research shows that upwards of 65 percent of complex software implementations result in failure," said David Colwell, vice president of corporate strategy at LendingQB. "Even for implementations that do succeed, more than a third of these projects go over budget. The goal of the EPA is to help lenders avoid being one of these statistics and achieve an optimal ROI that effectively addresses the technology goals they have in mind."
LendingQB unveiled their EPA model earlier this year, and conducted a series of webinars over the summer to help lenders objectively evakuate mortgage technologies. The EPA model engages lenders through in-depth interviews with lending executives and management and is followed by detailed mapping of a lender's unique workflow, which then provides a framework for LendingQB to construct a custom survey that gathers productivity assessments from the lender's staff. A statistical analysis is then applied to identify key improvements and correlate data along with recommended technology objectives and a clear path forward roadmap.
EPA findings show that:
The EPA provides lenders with a balanced and objective perspective on a vendor's technology stack and uncovers issues that are not readily apparent to management. "Even large organizations that can produce detailed RFPs aren't immune to 'feature enamored syndrome, ' or poor weighting of technology demands," noted Colwell. "We designed the EPA as an aid to existing evaluation methods. As a company that has successfully implemented systems for hundreds of financial institutions, our value to lenders is more than the systems we build. We want to contribute to a lender's success, whether they use our technology or not."
LendingQB will be holding discussions at the MBA's 99th Annual Convention & Exposition at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, Illinois from October 21 – 24 to discuss the results of their EPA model and findings. For more information about LendingQB's EPA and the technology solutions, please contact David Colwell at (714) 957-6335, ext. 2456 or via email davidc@lendingqb.com.

DocMagic and LendingQB Team, Integrate Two Platforms
September 25, 2012
LendingQB's LOS users gain seamless access to DocMagic's document preparation solution
COSTA MESA, Calif., September 25, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software, announced that they completed a seamless interface with DocMagic's document production and compliance technology. The integrated solution provides users working in LendingQB's loan origination system (LOS) with seamless access to DocMagic's document preparation functionality. The companies partnered to make the process of ordering, sending, signing and receiving compliant mortgage documents as effortless as possible.
The new interface completely embeds DocMagic's functionality within LendingQB's LOS, preventing users from ever having to leave the environment in which they are accustomed to working in --- LendingQB. All activities, from selecting document packages to auditing data, occurs in LendingQB's centralized database, eliminating the need to re-key information and potential loan data mismatches, thus ensuring accuracy and compliance with all state and federal regulations.
The most impressive feature of the seamless interface, however, is the addition of DocMagic's eDelivery and eSign features. Using this part of DocMagic's solution, borrowers are able to conveniently, expeditiously and accurately sign documents electronically using DocMagic's technology. Once signed, DocMagic instantly places all documents into LendingQB's electronic document management system.
"Many LOS integrations that are completed today are not truly seamless and at one point force users to leave the LOS and perform actions such as data touch up and package ordering within the document provider's system, without any data going back into the lender's LOS," remarks Steve Ribultan, director of business development at DocMagic. "While this method works, it isn't ideal. On the other hand, the tight integration we have with LendingQB allows lenders to generate accurate compliant documents the first time---every time---while remaining in their native system of record, thus ensuring data consistency."
Binh Dang, president of LendingQB, noted: "Metrics that we track in our system revealed that people were spending entirely too much time keying data and changing loan information in the document provider's system, and then having to go back and reconcile the data in our LOS. This might amount to just a few minutes of effort per loan, but when calculated across multiple users and loan files, it becomes a substantial loss of productivity. This loss of time and inefficiency was the impetus for us to accomplish a better way to order mortgage documents."
Dang added: "The interface we developed with DocMagic aids in our goal of cutting clients' loan production labor costs in half. Without the interface, there's a lot of wasted, non-value-added activity that transpires with every loan. By leveraging DocMagic's innovative eDelivery and eSign technology, we'll quickly achieve our goal."

3Rivers Credit Union Signs with LendingQB to Utilize its End-to-End LOS
September 6, 2012
Uptick in mortgage applications prompts credit union to seek single platform to manage growth and elevate member service
COSTA MESA, Calif., September 6, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that 3Rivers Federal Credit Union, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, has selected its Web-based end-to-end loan origination system (LOS). The platform is being configured to streamline 3Rivers' unique workflow and internal processes in all areas of its mortgage lending business; thus eliminating unnecessary manual touch points, improving communications, reducing cost per loan and ultimately enhancing member service levels.
"We were previously using one of the better-known origination systems in the industry but found that we needed a more advanced, scalable platform that could help us grow and make originating, underwriting, closing and servicing loans for our members a seamless process that required less staff intervention," explained Jeff Meyer, president and CEO of 3Rivers . "The level of automation we can achieve with LendingQB's solution empowers our team to quickly and smoothly work with numerous applications, instantly underwrite those loans using their proprietary Automated Underwriting System and keep our members constantly updated on their loan status. As we expand, our continued success in lending is all about maintaining the highest standards in member service; we expect LendingQB's technology to be instrumental in accomplishing this."
LendingQB's end-to-end LOS platform resides entirely in the Cloud and is delivered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis to 3Rivers. As a result, the implementation is speedy, system maintenance costs become virtually nonexistent and software updates are instant and not disruptive to operations. The transparency of the platform's ability to seamlessly configure and connect workflows delivers newfound visibility for 3Rivers' team members and ease of communication between critical lending functions/areas. In addition, LendingQB will transform 3Rivers into a completely paperless organization with centralized reporting and key performance indicators (KPIs) for management's oversight. Upfront disclosures, constant real-time compliance audits and closing documents are all included in LendingQB's pay per closed loan pricing model.
"As credit unions continue to capture market share in residential lending, they began to outgrow older LOSs that worked well for originating fewer loans, but with the recent spike in volume, an instant need was created for them to implement a sophisticated enterprise-class system that can grow and flex with their lending business," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "Our SaaS-based LOS will finely tune 3Rivers' operations, facilitate visibility, reduce errors, speed up turn times and adhere to compliance regulations.

LendingQB to Hold Webinars on How to Make Sound Technology Decisions
August 28, 2012
Webinars will provide lenders with insight on how to optimize their lending workflows across operations
COSTA MESA, Calif., August 28, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced it will be holding two educational webinars that address how lenders should develop an analytical approach to identify hidden problems in their lending processes and technology weaknesses, helping them make informed decisions on which technologies will have the biggest impact on profitability.
The webinars largely focus on how to perform an analysis of a lender's operations, workflows and existing technologies to arrive at a strategy that will reduce cost per loan, maximize employee productivity, remove manual touch points, eliminate unnecessary applications, increase profitability and optimize enterprise-wide performance.
LendingQB will introduce its Enterprise Process Assessment (EPA), which is a complementary holistic, in-depth review and discovery process of a lender's specific lending workflow. The EPA dissects every step of the loan life cycle from the moment an originator engages with a borrower to when the loan is sold on the secondary market. A comprehensive report is then provided to lenders on how to achieve their technology goals.
"We constantly see lenders challenged to make intelligent, strategic technology decisions that are business-critical to both their short and long-term growth and profitability," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "The webinars we put together are all about helping lenders fully understand the real impact of how technology can positively or negatively impact their bottom line using established metrics. Attendees have a solid starting point to initiate this type of evaluation process."
Topics include:
Two sessions will be offered on Wednesday, September 12th, 2012. Session 1 starts at 1:30 p.m. EDT (click here to register for Session 1) and Session 2 starts at 4:30 p.m. EDT (click here to register for Session 2).

Ventura County Credit Union Implements LendingQB's End-to-End LOS Platform
August 21, 2012
Seamless lending technology to reduce credit union's cost per loan and position for growth
COSTA MESA, Calif., August 21, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that California-based Ventura County Credit Union (VCCU) has successfully implemented its end-to-end browser-based loan origination system (LOS). VCCU is using LendingQB's LOS platform to effectively manage growth, ensure excellence in member service and cut originations costs.
"We are currently in a growth mode and needed a platform that could flex and scale with us as we expand the mortgage side of our business," said Greg Uttal, director of lending at VCCU. "Attractive to us was LendingQB's ability to move loans effortlessly through our entire workflow, eliminating many manual touch points so our employees are more productive and can devote more time to member service. Further, the efficiency LendingQB's workflow management will reduce our cost per loan and thus enable us to offer better pricing to our members."
Because LendingQB's all-in-one LOS platform uses a single database, VCCU's employees all work off of the same data, reducing errors and eliminating the re-keying of information. This speeds up the entire lending process from the point of first borrower contact through underwriting, processing, closing, funding and secondary marketing. VCCU is taking advantage of LendingQB's per closed loan pricing model, which allows them to better manage origination costs by avoiding a flat fixed fee.
Uttal added: "LendingQB's support team is hands down the most responsive I have ever dealt with in my mortgage career. They always pick up the phone and address any questions or issues we have. Moreover, LendingQB built in an instant chat feature that allows our staff to ask questions as a technical support representative takes control of the user's screen and resolves the issue. The instant chat response time is only about 30 seconds; I don't know any vendor in the industry that can do that."
"Credit unions have been capturing an increasing amount of market share of late and are currently experiencing rapid growth in the mortgage lending area," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "As a result of this uptick in volume, they quickly developed a need for technology that can efficiently manage credit unions' unique lending operations and still maintain high levels of member service, which is largely what attracts members to doing business with them. After our SaaS-based implementation was completed, VCCU was able to immediately automate every single area of their lending process, which has provided complete visibility and improved employee communications, among other improvements."
VCCU also utilizes LendingQB's automated underwriting system (AUS) to decision loans, complete with customized investor guidelines and overlays. Guidelines are maintained by LendingQB's managed services team, thus removing the onus of constant change management from VCCU resources. LendingQB's AUS is fully integrated with its LOS.

COSTA MESA, Calif., August 20, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider

lenders – resulted in the company being named one of the
three finalists for the award, which "recognizes a new software,

The company continued developing Lender's Office, adding key components until they achieved a single, end-to-end system that seamlessly connects workflows that encompass the entire life cycle of a mortgage loan. Rebranded in late 2011, LendingQB is proud to be considered for the Release of the Year award.
"We've finally achieved our goal of presenting a completely seamless, end-to-end system for mortgage lenders," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB.

"Ginnie Mae issuers represent a sizable portion of the FHA market and are continuing to play a vital role in originating quality FHA loans," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "Lenders that are interested in taking advantage of our AUS' interface with TOTAL Scorecard can seamlessly connect to our platform to return instant, accurate decisioning on FHA products.

Recent launch of new enterprise-class platform results in a dozen enterprise deals
COSTA MESA, Calif., July 24, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless Web-based mortgage lending technology, announced that it had a banner second quarter, signing twelve new clients, which are either already in production or in the midst of implementation. New clients include mortgage bankers, community banks and credit unions, illustrating the platform's ability to serve all types of mortgage lending institutions.
Customers that are in production with LendingQB's end-to-end loan origination system (LOS) report that they have been able to immediately eliminate the need for multiple systems, cut technology costs by up to 50 percent and reduce the cost to originate loans by as much 30 percent. LendingQB has accomplished these goals by emphasizing a seamless workflow that eliminates non-value added activities through automation. Examples of this include automated underwriting, business rule automation and lights-out integrations to select third-party vendors. LendingQB unifies all mortgage lending activities on a single database of record, enabling higher level functions such as rapid generation of management reports and internal communication. The entire platform is web-based and accessed through a common web browser, making it highly scalable and extremely efficient to deploy.
"We're seeing a rapid growth in our pipeline since we introduced LendingQB late last year," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "There's a real movement among mortgage lenders to switch their LOS platforms. Dissatisfaction with service and the uncertainty of the longevity of their vendors are part of the reason. But there's also a real desire for technology advancement; lenders are treating their business in a more sophisticated manner, especially in regards to quality control and business analytics. They want a level of technology sophistication that matches their desire to grow efficiently as the mortgage industry recovers. We're glad that these new clients recognize the value we bring to their business."LendingQB's platform is comprised of LO, TPO, and consumer direct point-of-sale Web portals for all lending channels; the PriceMyLoan pricing engine and automated underwriting system (AUS); loan processing; electronic documents, closing; secondary marketing; and interim servicing. All functions are incorporated into a seamless workflow. Another unique difference, is that the LendingQB LOS incorporates business intelligence (BI) and data analytics functionality along with detailed reporting that helps lenders locate and translate their data into actionable information, enabling them to make informed business decisions that establishes a competitive advantage and leads to greater profitability.

Seamless integration catches compliance issues early in the origination process
COSTA MESA, Calif., June 26, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that it completed an integration with ComplianceEase, the leading provider of mortgage compliance and risk management solutions. LendingQB integrated ComplianceEase's ComplianceAnalyzer® product with its end-to-end loan origination system (LOS). The solution automatically runs continuous real-time audits throughout the origination lifecycle of the loan to ensure compliance with federal, state, and municipal consumer credit regulations.
Using this unique integration, lenders can conduct compliance audits as early as the point-of-sale (POS), thus catching and addressing compliance issues much sooner in the origination process to save time and money. Most systems initiate compliance audits closer to the loan closing process, rather than at the POS where loan officers work. What's more, LendingQB and ComplianceEase have enhanced the integration so that audits automatically run behind the scenes in real-time up until the point the loan closes. While most mortgage compliance checks must be initiated manually, this integration is automatic and requires no human intervention.
Also unique to the integration is that it's completely transparent to users working in LendingQB's Web-based LOS platform. Whether it's a loan officer, processor, compliance officer or closing agent, employees never have to leave the application they are accustomed to using. As a result, the lending workflow remains seamless and disruptions and manual interventions are eliminated.
"At LendingQB, we are ultra-focused on making the lending workflow truly seamless to eliminate manual touch points and the need to jump to another application to complete various tasks," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "We're very selective about our integration partners; we wanted to take full advantage of the Web services that ComplianceEase developed so we could achieve absolute transparency. With this integration, a user doesn't need to remember to run checks because ComplianceAnalyzer is always running in the background. We invested significant development resources to achieve this level of integration."
"These days, it's not common for mortgage lenders to implement compliance checks continuously throughout the origination process," said Jason Roth, senior vice president of ComplianceEase. "The integration that we developed with LendingQB takes compliance assurance to a new level. The audits are seamless within the LOS, performed much earlier in the origination process, and constantly executed without the need for users to think about them."

LendingQB Releases White Paper to Help Lenders Make Sound Technology Decisions
May 30, 2012
Paper provides guidance on technology evaluations and purchases
COSTA MESA, Calif., May 30, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that it published the availability of a free white paper designed for lenders that are considering replacing their loan origination system (LOS). The paper addresses the challenges lenders face when evaluating mortgage technologies and outlines a strategy to assess their existing technology weaknesses, identifying areas for improvement.
Entitled "The Five Steps to Making Better Technology Decisions," the white paper recommends conducting an Enterprise Process Assessment (EPA) of lending operations and workflows. According to the paper, all too often lenders buy technology predominantly based on features, failing to perform a critical deep dive analysis of their workflow to effectively model and measure process enhancements using standards and best practices.
The white paper stresses that before buying technology, lenders must establish an objective, well-defined, comprehensive process in order to overcome the many challenges associated with complex technology evaluations. Executing an EPA provides a clear understanding of and roadmap for how to select technology that reduces cost per loan, improves profitability, maximizes employee productivity and decrease the number of manual touch points throughout the workflow.
Key points in the white paper:

Omega Financial Services Signs with LendingQB to Use its All-in-One, Cloud-Based LOS
May 23, 2012
Implementation of single system drives profit maximization and cost reductions
COSTA MESA, Calif., May 23, 2012 – LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced that Omega Financial Services, Inc., a retail and wholesale mortgage banker, has implemented its comprehensive Web-based loan origination system (LOS) to automate each of its business channels. LendingQB's platform will reduce Omega's cost per loan, maximize productivity across operations and decrease its existing technology costs.
Acting as an advisor to Omega, Joe Cilento, CPA, CMB, a mortgage industry veteran and consultant, guided the selection and implementation of Lending QB's LOS platform after performing a company-wide review of operations.
"I have conducted numerous mortgage technology evaluations and implementations; the rollout of LendingQB's Web-based platform was one smoothest I've been involved with," said Cilento. "The extensive level of support that LendingQB provided and their ability to easily configure tailored workflows are the main reasons Omega's implementation was so successful."
LendingQB's LOS seamlessly integrates Omega's entire workflow and lending functions to enable the straight through processing (STP) of loans. From the point-of-sale (POS) through closing and funding, LendingQB consolidates all of Omega's lending activities onto a single platform that creates a true end-to-end experience. Regardless of employees' roles, LendingQB contains Omega's users to a single database and software environment to ensure the same data is being used in different departments. The result is fewer manual touch points, which turns Omega's lending practices into a profit optimization workflow.
"We were previously using a well-known LOS that has been trying to assemble an end-to-end solution, but we found the system inadequate to handle our needs from soup-to-nuts so we began looking for a solution that could," said Armando Morell, information systems director at Omega
Financial Services, Inc. "We retained mortgage consultant Joe Cilento to help us perform the evaluation process and concluded that most LOSs try to achieve an end-to-end solution by way of integrating with multiple best-of-breed vendors because they are lacking key functionality in a number of different areas. Of all the solutions we looked at, there wasn't an all-in-one Web-based LOS on the market that could seamlessly automate every single area of the lending process like LendingQB is able to."
Once Omega's LOs and brokers run product and pricing scenarios in LendingQB's retail or broker portal, they can pull credit and the automated underwriting system (AUS) returns an instant, accurate decision that analyzes investors' entire underwriting manuals, which carries the same weight as a human underwriter's decision. The loan then seamlessly moves through Omega's workflow with minimal human intervention. Omega says the efficiencies gained using LendingQB's end-to-end LOS will optimize employee performance, reduce their cost per loan and also attract top tier sales talent. In addition, Omega's LOs, brokers and AEs can use LendingQB's mobile application for smart phones, which allows them to check rates, return product eligibility and pricing, and manage their pipeline from the field.
"Paramount to running an efficient lending operation is the seamless connection of every workflow the lender uses to eliminate unnecessary human interaction and thus improve productivity," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "The only way to achieve this is to implement an all-in-one platform that uses a single database and is discriminating with outside integrations, as too many interfaces and separate databases creates data integrity issues and hampers efficiency and accuracy."
LendingQB's platform is comprised of LO, broker, and consumer direct point-of-sale Web portals for all lending channels; product and pricing engine; proprietary AUS; loan processing; electronic documents, closing; secondary marketing; and interim servicing. LendingQB also accompanies business intelligence (BI) and data analytics functionality along with detailed reporting that helps lenders locate and translate their data into actionable information, enabling them to make informed business decisions that establishes a competitive advantage and leads to greater profitability.

LendingQB Helps Mortgage Lenders Make Better Technology Decisions
April 23, 2012
PHOENIX, Ariz., April 23, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LendingQB, a provider of seamless mortgage lending technology, announced an innovative new service that helps lenders understand and measure the impact of technology on their business, which will be introduced at the MBA Technology Conference and Exposition in Phoenix, Arizona. Known as the Enterprise Process Assessment (EPA), it provides lenders with an extensive breakdown of their operations, workflows and technologies to determine a strategy to reduce cost per loan and optimize enterprise-wide performance. The assessment is provided to interested lenders without any commitment or fees.
The EPA is a holistic, in-depth analysis and discovery of a lender's unique business workflow that dissects every step of the loan life cycle from the moment an originator engages with a borrower to when the loan is sold on the secondary market. Once the assessment is complete, a detailed report is produced that contains metrics on how to reduce the cost to originate loans by optimizing workflows and operational performance. The EPA report gives lenders keen insight into their business in a way that allows them to understand the degree in which a technology and process improvement plan can impact their performance. Ultimately, the report serves as a invaluable roadmap for lenders to evaluate technology more effectively and develop business strategies by establishing measurable goals.
"If after conducting the EPA, a lender should happen to engage with us, then we're armed with the necessary information to configure and implement our platform to seamlessly connect their entire workflow," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "The sole purpose of our technology is to optimize operations, reduce cost per loan and increase employee productivity. But if it is determined that LendingQB isn't a good fit for the lender, they can still utilize our EPA report internally for areas of improvement or even to evaluate another vendor. We're completely okay with that. Put simply, the EPA is about the lender, not us and our technology platform."
The Enterprise Process Assessment is important because it defines who LendingQB is as a company. "To us, we're not a technology company," added Dang. "Technology is only a means to an end. Our focus is on solving problems for lenders using technology and business intelligence methods. The EPA provides both us and the lender with a better understanding on how to solve their problems, and at the same time, how to improve our software in ways we didn't think of before. It's a mutual learning process that yields immense value for our team and the lender."
LendingQB will be holding discussions about its EPA offering and seamless lending platform in its suite at the MBA's Technology Conference and Exposition at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.

iServe Realizes Significant Productivity Gains and Cost Reductions Using LendingQB Platform
April 11, 2012
Mortgage banker cuts technology costs in half and reduces cost per loan by 30%
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 11, 2012 – LendingQB, a seamless mortgage lending platform, announced that iServe Residential Lending, LLC, a retail mortgage banker, has reported a dramatic increase in employee productivity, slashed technology costs, and reduced costs per loan since implementing LendingQB. iServe selected LendingQB approximately a year ago because it eliminated having to use multiple platforms, databases and integrations.
"We were previously using three different systems that were technically integrated together, but they still had a number of issues," said Michael Wilson, director of operations at iServe. "The system-to-system communication was poor, integrations often required employees to re-key data, and we had to call three different vendors when we needed technical support. This was hampering our operational performance. We came to the conclusion that we needed to look for a single provider that could efficiently do the job of these three vendors."
During the diligence process, iServe was provided with the opportunity to test drive the LOS unencumbered from that of a traditional sales-guided demo, allowing the lender to run a loan through the entire LendingQB system from start to finish. Dubbed the 'Guest Suite Invitation,' lenders are able to work with the solution in an isolated environment to ensure it meets their specific needs.
"Working successfully in LendingQB's Guest Suite Invitation empowered us with the insight to ensure the platform would work for us," said Wilson. "Immediately after implementing LendingQB, we were able to completely eliminate any re-keying of data, realize greater employee productivity via tighter workflows, and work towards being paperless in the same system. This reduces our cost per loan by an estimated 30% and optimizes every single area of our lending practice, from origination through secondary marketing and interim servicing. The improved communications and data integrity of being on one platform has substantially improved our operations."
"We don't consider ourselves to be just another loan origination system (LOS) vendor that loosely uses the 'end-to-end' buzzword," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "We like to move away from this overused term and instead refer to our platform for what it really is --- a seamlessly connected profit optimization system that is focused on the lender's business first and foremost. The bottom line should be the bottom line. We advise our clients on how to develop their workflows to reduce cost per loan and increase productivity. That's how we help clients 'win the lending game' in ways they never knew were possible. Sure, our platform is end-to-end, but it's also much more."
Key to the LendingQB platform:
Notable is that LendingQB was introduced to the marketplace in December of 2011, but select lenders have been successfully using the platform while LendingQB continued to add ancillary functionality in preparation for its formal launch. Clients were instrumental in working closely with LendingQB to perfect the platform as an all-in-one solution that automates the entire lending process. The result was a tested, tried and true 100% Web-based platform that seamlessly connects all lending workflows with complete transparency.

LendingQB Adds Two Seasoned Sales Veterans
March 13, 2012
Holt Crowder and Brian Smith join LendingQB to help launch new LOS
COSTA MESA, Calif., March 13, 2012 – LendingQB, a true enterprise-class end-to-end Web-based loan origination system (LOS), today announced the addition of Holt Crowder and Brian Smith to its business development team. Both new hires will be dedicated to introducing the new LendingQB LOS to the mortgage industry.
"We are excited about Holt and Brian joining our team to help launch the LendingQB platform," said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB. "We've spent the last couple of years operating in an R&D mode to engineer a one-of-a-kind end-to-end LOS that delivers functionality and value above and beyond anything that is commercially available on the market today. Holt and Brian will play a major role in demonstrating to lenders why our enterprise-class LOS is unlike any other. Their knowledge and experience working in the mortgage technology space is why we brought them on board; I'm confident they'll be major contributors to our growth."
Holt will be responsible for managing new opportunities with banks, credit unions and lenders in an outside sales capacity. Holt brings more than 20 years of experience to LendingQB having worked at mortgage banks, mortgage technology providers and as a consultant. He has held various positions at Loan-Score Decisioning Systems, Mortgage Cadence, Portellus, PCLender, Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Aames Home Loans, NovaStar, PHH Mortgage and others.
Brian will manage the upfront sales process working with prospective clients to communicate LendingQB's value proposition. He has experience working at mortgage technology providers Loan-Score Decisioning Systems and Loan-Sifter. While at Loan-Score, Brian was instrumental in building a book of business that grew the company's client base at a rapid rate, which helped make it attractive for acquisition by Calyx Software, Inc. in 2010.
LendingQB was in development and testing for several years, and is now being successfully implemented at mortgage banks that are realizing enterprise-wide efficiencies and greater profitability.The platform was officially launched in December of last year and has experienced a significant amount of attention as a result of its unique features and capabilities, which lenders cannot take advantage of with using other older LOSs.

They compare rates from a wide range of major underwriters and provide the lowest price to borrowers and lenders in a transparent manner. "We actively seek out best pricing among major underwriters to deliver pure, unaltered comparative rate quotes," said Cynthia Waterman, president and CEO of FirstClose Title. "This allows us to present quotes which average $500 to $1000 below competing GFE quotes, providing lenders with a 'cash to close' advantage that makes their offer more competitive and secures a relationship with a potential borrower more quickly."
The integration between LendingQB and FirstClose Title makes it easy for lenders to generate a GFE quote directly within the LendingQB loan origination system. Lenders can quickly retrieve quotes for title insurance, settlement charges, recording charges, and transfer taxes and automatically populate the data to the GFE on their loan file. Lenders can save between 15 and 30 minutes per loan file using the integration. But more importantly, FirstClose Title guarantees the accuracy of the GFE data, which protects lenders from having to cover costs due to poor GFE data entry.
"As a loan origination system, our goals are to increase a lender's efficiency and maintain data integrity," said Binh Dang, LendingQB's managing partner. "The integration with FirstClose actually goes beyond these goals and has a direct impact on a lender's ability to drive revenue. It makes lenders more competitive by improving point of sale pricing and increasing consumer selection. When you combine FirstClose Title's best-execution rate quotes with our automated underwriting and loan pricing technology all wrapped up in a web-based loan origination system, you've got a top-line technology platform that will have an immediate impact on a lender's bottom-line."

LendingQB Announces Mobile LOS Apps
January 23, 2012
Companion apps provide access to loan pipeline and pricing on smartphones
COSTA MESA, California – JANUARY 23, 2012 – Mortgage lending technology provider LendingQB announced today the availability of mobile app companions to their cloud-based, end-to-end loan origination system. The LendingQB apps are designed to enhance the loan closing process by keeping loan officers in constant contact with their loan origination system. "Mobile applications need to be more than a gimmick," said Binh Dang, LendingQB's managing partner. "The LendingQB mobile apps provide useful functionality that helps loan officers stay on top of their loans and foster better communication with their customers."
Available for free on both Android-based smartphones and Apple's iPhone, the LendingQB mobile app is linked directly to the full LendingQB mortgage loan origination system and provides mortgage professionals with the ability to view real-time status updates of loans in their pipeline, as well as track when loan milestones have been achieved.
The LendingQB mobile app also includes a loan pre-qualification and pricing tool that is linked to LendingQB's built-in automated underwriting engine, PriceMyLoan. Users can enter in loan scenarios and instantly view eligibility and real-time pricing results. Loan scenarios can be saved for quick access at a later time. A video demonstration of the LendingQB mobile app can be found here: http://youtu.be/SccP0LJcoFQ
"Our mobile apps are designed to leverage the best features of our full loan origination system, but in a way that makes sense," said Linn Cook, marketing director at LendingQB. "Providing loan officers a snap shot of their loan pipeline not only keeps them informed, but it cuts down on the amount of calls that loan processors and underwriters have to field. Additionally, using a smartphone to get instant quotes on loan eligibility and pricing lets loan officers make a powerful impression on prospects and generate more leads."
LendingQB is a powerful, 100% web browser-based loan origination system designed for mortgage lenders and bankers. An impressive set of tools are available to facilitate a seamless end-to-end mortgage workflow process, from loan origination to funding. But the cloud-based aspect of the system is what enables LendingQB to deliver a unique mobile experience.
"Web-based or cloud-based computing is no longer an experiment, it's become a virtual necessity in the business world," said Cook. "The same can be said about mobile computing. It's not just about emails or playing games. We believe that mobile loan origination is going to transform the way that mortgage lenders do business. Our goal is to keep our clients on the leading edge of mortgage technology."

PriceMyLoan Introduces LendingQB
December 12, 2011
Mortgage Loan Origination Technology Takes to the Cloud
COSTA MESA, California – December 12, 2011 – Automated underwriting and loan pricing technology provider PriceMyLoan is proud to present LendingQB, the industry's most comprehensive, 100% web browser-based mortgage lending platform. "With LendingQB, we believe we are doing more than just providing a 'cloud computing' loan origination system," said Binh Dang, LendingQB's managing partner. "We believe we are fundamentally changing the way that lenders use technology."
Since 2004, PriceMyLoan has been providing lenders with advanced technology to automate the underwriting and pricing of their loans. Over the past seven years, PriceMyLoan has had the unique opportunity to work closely with their clients and carefully observe their utilization of technology. "Each one of our clients had a valuable LOS story to tell us," said Gigi Campbell, national sales director for LendingQB. "What became evident is their desire for a 'one-stop shop' lending system, and a system that would adapt to the way they work."
To that end, LendingQB was built to include a comprehensive list of features, such as electronic documents with e-signatures; a full complement of tools for loan processing, underwriting, secondary marketing, closing and post-closing; and specialized tools for wholesale and retail environments, such as broker website portals and online consumer loan applications. Naturally, PriceMyLoan powers the automated underwriting and loan pricing aspects of the LendingQB platform.
But the most innovative feature of LendingQB is not their technology, but the way that they work with their clients. "Lenders need more than just a piece of software," said Campbell. "They need a technology partner that is willing to listen and respond to their specific needs. That's the true value of our web-based model. We can reach directly into a client's system and instantly deploy any changes they request. It creates a truly customized experience that molds to their particular workflow."
LendingQB positions itself as more than a technology provider, they want to be an active part of a lender's team. "As a lending quarterback, we want to take the field with our clients and help lead them to success," said Campbell. "Give us the ball and we'll execute the plays that lead to higher productivity, higher profits and better business performance overall."
