In fact, many current Radian customers utilize Optimal Blue’s platform to originate business. By integrating our pricing, we’re making doing business with Radian quick and simple.” “Our integration with Radian is a clear win-win for both Optimal Blue and Radian customers as it simplifies the rate quote process for them,” said Larry Huff, Co-CEO of Optimal Blue. “This integration is in keeping with our philosophy of unified workflow, not just simple data transfer.

Both companies share the objective of streamlining the loan process, and together we’re taking a step to make that happen. We count this as the first step in a long and successful partnership with Radian.”
