Two providers of loan origination systems have reported significant recent growth, with the increase in business at one of the firms attributed to its early adoption of features for Federal Housing Administration-insured loans. A third firm reported that 15,000 users have adopted its latest technology, while several others touted their LOS enhancements.

Several developers of loan origination systems have enhanced their offerings through alliances, partnerships and the integration of other services. Among added features are loan product and pricing searches, mortgage compliance and appraisal ordering.

Appraisal Guarantees
Two appraisal firms are offering guarantees for their work. In other appraisal-related activity, a deadline looms for digital delivery of appraisals, and a new service helps lenders rate the local expertise of appraisers.
