Beanstalk Networks LLC, the West Palm Beach, Fla.-based developer of OpenClose mortgage automation systems, has announced the release of License Cop, which allows lenders to electronically track the licenses of brokerage companies or loan originators.Beanstalk said administrators can configure License Cop in minutes to create rules that automatically "police" where loans can and can't be originated. License Cop verifies state origination authorization and license dates, then allows or denies origination accordingly. "The problem with some compliance functionality is that licensing isn't verified until after the loan has been originated," said OpenClose president Jason Regalbuto. ".... License Cop allows lenders to stop origination at the registration process. Once it's set up, it's completely automated." The company can be found online at http://www.openclose.com.
