Providing the certificate with each appraisal documents our independent and compliant process.” www.streetlinks.com Integration with Ellie Mae increases usability of pricing technology New York Loan Exchange (NYLX) announced Friday the “enhanced” integration of its LoanDecisions product with Ellie Mae‘s Encompass Mortgage Management System.

The Indianapolis-based lender said it selected MRG for its compliance assurances and its ability to handle customizations for both open-end and closed-end products — like home equity loans and 30-year fixed rate mortgages, respectively. “It was important for us to select a technology partner that enables us to maximize our lending reach without expanding our personnel footprint,” said Kevin Quinn, vice president of First Internet Bank of Indiana. “MRG also integrates well with our loan origination system so there is very little data for us to enter manually, which speeds up and simplifies the origination process.” www.mrgdocs.com Write to Diana Golobay at diana.golobay@housingwire.com.
