As the mortgage lending industry grows more competitive, efficiency and innovation have become a requisite for survival for lending companies – both big and small. Tavant, a global leader in digital transformation, empowers lenders to tackle these challenges head-on with its innovative Encompass® software. Positioned at the forefront of mortgage process transformation, Encompass® leverages AI and automation to revolutionize the entire loan lifecycle.
ICE has announced that by October 31, 2025, all lenders must transition their service ordering to the Encompass Partner Connect (EPC) platform, as the existing legacy service ordering system will be discontinued.
Additionally, clients utilizing ICE’s legacy Software Development Kit (SDK) technology on Encompass will receive a six-month grace period beyond the original October 31, 2025, deadline to migrate to the new API-based platform before incurring any charges.
To ensure a smooth transition, it’s advisable to begin planning and implementing the migration process well before the deadlines. This proactive approach will help maintain compliance and operational efficiency.
