Maxwell has announced an integration with Optimal Blue. By leveraging Optimal Blue’s product eligibility and pricing API, Maxwell’s open Connected Apps platform now enables an intuitive, design-led pricing experience for lending teams–thus reducing complexity and accelerating time-to-close.

With this advanced integration, lenders can evaluate product and pricing scenarios and share customized data with potential borrowers.

“Together, we are dedicated to creating an efficient, trustworthy and compliant loan experience that meets the diverse needs of today’s lending community,” said Bob Brandt, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances at Optimal Blue. “Data connections, like the one we’ve established with Maxwell, allow lenders to confidently–and accurately–source and disclose the various scenarios that today’s borrowers have come to expect.”

John Paasonen, Maxwell’s Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We always prioritize innovative features and partnerships that will make the mortgage experience more personal, more streamlined and more delightful. For us, it’s about empowering lenders to deliver an experience that will set them apart in the market. Our partnership with Optimal Blue falls right in line with that goal.”
