There were 721,000 loans closed on Encompass during the second quarter, compared with 553,000 in the first quarter and 682,000 in the second quarter last year.
"The value proposition of Encompass remains strong as the industry seeks a digital mortgage platform that improves and streamlines the complex origination process," Corr said. "We have made continued progress in the rollout of our Encompass Lending Platform, announcing the general availability of several Encompass Connect solutions."
