RADNOR, PENNSYLVANIA – April 15, 2014 — Essent Guaranty, Inc., a nationwide provider of mortgage insurance (MI), announced today that it is now offering lenders access to Essent MI for non-delegated loans through an integration with Empower, Black Knight Financial Services’ retail and wholesale channel loan origination system (LOS).

“Lenders using the Empower LOS will have access to Essent MI through a seamless integration,” said Bill Kaiser, Essent Guaranty’s chief operating officer. “Now lenders can order Essent MI without ever having to leave the Empower system. In one fluid step, they can submit the MI order and send the documents Essent requires to underwrite the loan.”

Empower is a state-of-the-art, end-to-end LOS that provides functionality for every facet of the origination process, including consumer, retail and wholesale point-of-sale channels. Empower also provides FHA, VA and conventional product support; funding and auditing; product and pricing; electronic document management and imaging; and industry-standard interfaces.

“I am confident that combining the technology of Empower with Essent’s MI service will help lenders maximize efficiency in the loan origination process, reduce costs and improve turn times for a better borrower experience,” said Jerry Halbrook, president of Black Knight’s Origination Technologies division.
