Coviance has combined the power of its lending automation platform, Home Equity Express™ (HEx), with a pre-built, no-code LOS integration to create the Coviance Encompass Connector - a true plug-and-play automation experience for home equity and HELOC loans.

The cloud-based platform uses real-time data, best-in-class pre-built integrations, and intelligent communication capabilities that deliver a fluid, elevated experience for lenders and borrowers. The “Coviance Encompass Connector” integrates both technologies empowering Encompass LOS users to modernize the home equity and HELOC lending experience, shortening the lending cycle from weeks, to delivering a clear-to-close in days, even hours.

“ICE’s mission of expanding homeownership in the US by connecting all things mortgage with best-of-breed technology aligns with our mission at Coviance ,” said Omar Jordan, Founder and CEO of Coviance. “Expanding onto our relationship with ICE from our integration into Simplifile, and now Encompass continues to drive value for our shared customers, banks and credit unions. At Coviance we’re on a mission to expand access to lendable home equity through automation and technology.”

The Coviance Encompass Connector enables lenders to automate the HEloan and HELOC lending process by leveraging the automation and collateral decisioning engine Coviance offers. The product’s standout features will help further expand Home Equity lending capabilities into the mortgage LOS.
