Staffing has been expanded at OpenClose’s integration and customer support departments, the West Palm Beach, Florida-based company announced on Feb. 16. In addition, three senior software engineers were added to its development team.

Zip was announced by Calyx Software on Feb. 22. Calyx says the loan interview platform is affordable and easy-to-use, and loan originators can use it with loan applicants through a branded URL.
Dallas-based Calyx said the pay-per-use service enables prospective borrowers to easily start the loan application process online or on any mobile device.
“Zip allows loan originators to understand an interested borrower’s needs, their communication preferences, and how far along the borrower is in the mortgage process,” Calyx Software Vice President of Business Development Bob Dougherty said in the statement. “Zip levels the playing field with enterprise-level, online lenders — and does it for a fraction of the cost.”
