Agentic AI mortgage startup Tidalwave announces ICE Mortgage Technology integration
NEW YORK, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Agentic AI mortgage startup tidalwave today announced a new integration using the latest Encompass Partner Connect API framework from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) for mortgage technology and available via the marketplace in the ICE Encompass® digital lending platform. This modern framework enables industry participants to integrate to ICE solutions and provide their services to loan originators and servicers through secure API-enabled technology.
By integrating with Encompass®, tidalwave's AI capabilities are now accessible to a majority of mortgage lenders. tidalwave's AI-driven approach addresses critical challenges in the mortgage industry. Despite advances in digitization, the mortgage process remains inefficient: the average mortgage file is 500 pages long and takes ~45 days to process. The average lender is losing $645 per loan as they are using multiple disjointed tools, requiring human intervention to bridge gaps, leading to errors and delays.
