Richard Triola, Settleware’s president and chief executive officer. “Wells has certainly been on the forefront of e-Mortgages and we are thrilled to meet their high standards.” According to a recent statement, Wells Fargo expects that "within 18 to 24 months, you will see much more eLending, eMortgage, eClosings going on, including at Wells Fargo.” In response, Triola said, “We are now able to deliver the complete end-to-end e-Mortgage and Real Estate transaction over the Internet.
