Vendor Partnership Updates

SnapDocs has completed its integration with BeSmartee’s digital mortgage platform. The integration enables lenders to offer a modern borrower experience that spans loan origination to closing, driving faster closing times and reducing operating costs. The new solution employs machine learning to automate and streamline the borrower’s closing document review and signature steps.

Stavvy and Guaranteed Rate have just announced a partnership designed to “drive digitization and enable relationships across the mortgage ecosystem.” Together, the companies are planning to accelerate the number of electronic closings and drive digital transformation in the industry, while simultaneously allowing stakeholders to connect, sign and notarize documents.

 

IPEN vs. RON, What’s the Difference?

IPEN (In-Person Electronic Notarization) and RON (Remote Online Notarization) are both forms of electronic notarization, but there are key differences between them.

With IPEN, the signer is physically present but the documents are presented,  signed and sealed electronically. RON, on the other hand, involves a signing ceremony where the signer and notary are in separate locations. The ceremony is facilitated by the use of audio-video communication technology and the documents are presented, signed and sealed electronically.

Check out the National Notary Association’s latest article for more on the differences between IPEN and RON.
