Cloud Mortgage Loan Origination System for Mid-Sized Lenders

A cloud mortgage LOS runs on shared multi-tenant infrastructure; every customer accesses the same continuously-updated application via a browser, with their data isolated by row-level security at the database layer. Compared to on-premise or hybrid systems like older Encompass installs, a true cloud LOS has no per-tenant deployment work, gets feature updates weekly instead of quarterly, scales storage and compute on demand, and shifts disaster recovery, patching, and uptime to the vendor. Confer is built cloud-native on Next.js 16, PostgreSQL via Supabase, and Temporal durable workflows.

Mid-sized lenders (1,000–15,000 loans/year) need three things at once: full-lifecycle coverage, regulatory compliance built in, and a price model that does not punish growth. Confer Solutions LOS is purpose-built for this segment; it covers application through post-close in a single product, automates QM/ATR, TRID, HMDA, and ECOA workflows, and uses usage-based pricing instead of per-seat licensing. MeridianLink, Blend, ICE Encompass, and Abrigo each cover parts of this stack but typically require multiple modules or third-party integrations to match Confer's coverage in a single platform.

Confer treats the loan as a single state machine across all three stages. Document processing AI feeds extracted data directly into the underwriting engine, which auto-generates conditions that flow back to processors for clearing; no re-keying. When the file is clear-to-close, TRID timers running in Temporal durable workflows ensure the Closing Disclosure is delivered exactly 3 business days before consummation. The closing package is generated from the same loan record that underwriting used. There is no handoff doc, no Excel exception list, no separate closing module to license.

Confer enforces compliance by architecture, not by policy reminder. TRID timers run in durable workflows that survive server restarts. QM/ATR verifies all 8 ability-to-repay factors per 12 CFR § 1026.43(c). HMDA auto-populates 110+ LAR fields. ECOA/Reg B handles adverse action notices and the 30-day decision timer. RESPA covers servicing transfers and escrow analysis. HOEPA gates high-cost loans at lock. Every action is captured in an immutable audit log with operator, timestamp, and before/after data.

Yes. Confer offers two deployment paths. (1) Standalone; replace Encompass entirely; faster to deploy, lower total cost. (2) Hybrid; Confer runs as the AI and automation layer in front of Encompass, with 180+ bidirectional field mappings and full E-Folder container sync (U1–U15). Hybrid lets a lender capture the AI value immediately without timing it to a multi-year migration.

Standalone Confer deployments; including SSO, branding, and core integrations; typically run in weeks, not months. Hybrid deployments that require bidirectional Encompass sync, custom field mappings, and secondary market output configuration take longer. By comparison, full Encompass implementations often run 6–12 months, MeridianLink 3–6 months, and Blend POS 2–4 months. Contact Confer for a scoped implementation estimate based on your loan volume and integration scope.

Confer ships with 9 specialized AI agents that own end-to-end work in their stage: a sales/qualification agent at intake, a processing agent for conditions, a document classifier and extractor, an income calculator, an underwriting agent, a closing agent that orchestrates TRID timers, a post-closing agent for QC and HMDA, a compliance agent for cross-cutting checks, and a voice agent (Kylie) for borrower self-service. Every agent action is logged. Humans approve final decisions; agents do the repetitive work in between.

Confer uses annual contracts with usage-based pricing tiered to funded loan volume; typically $250K–$900K/year for lenders originating 1,000–15,000 loans annually. There is no per-seat licensing, no surprise overage on inactive users, and no separate POS license. Volume discounts apply at scale. See /pricing for tier mapping or request a custom quote.
