Arch MI’s new MI order functionality supports both delegated and
non-delegated mortgage insurance orders initiated from within the
OpenClose LenderAssist™ LOS. The new integration adds a streamlined
workflow-driven process for users to get an Arch MI quote, place an MI
order and receive the MI certificate and pricing data, all within the
LOS.

The new integration allows OpenClose LenderAssist users to view rate
comparisons and lock in Arch MI RateStar® pricing. Now celebrating 10
years as the industry’s leading risk-based MI pricing solution, RateStar^SM
evaluates a wide variety of loan characteristics to provide the most
tailored, complete and precise MI rate. Arch MI was the first MI company
to provide LenderAssist users access to live MI pricing together with
side-by-side comparisons for multiple Arch MI products and rates —
capabilities that continue to be available within the updated system.

“The new, enhanced integration with OpenClose’s LOS platform brings the
entire MI function full circle, delivering increased efficiencies for
pricing, ordering and producing certificates,” said Carl Tyree, EVP and
Chief Sales Officer at Arch MI. “One of our goals at Arch MI is to make
our industry-leading products available wherever lenders want to do
business with us, and we are proud to be the first MI to offer a fully
integrated set of services on the OpenClose platform.”

“We’ve enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Arch MI and are pleased to
strengthen our integration to deliver more value to our mutual
customers,” stated Vince Furey, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenClose.
“Enhancing our integration with Arch MI is of particular importance as
it establishes an automated workflow that speeds processing time and
helps reduce the cost to manufacture loans.”
