Named Progress In Lending Innovations Award Winner

In 2025, LoanNEX redefined how lenders and investors collaborate by introducing Direct Lock capabilities directly from the LOS. This innovation enables lenders to seamlessly manage retail lock requests and secondary lock workflows within a single, unified platform. With enhanced Best-Ex visibility and dual-lock transparency, users can now oversee lock activity both internally and in coordination with their investor partners. Available within ICE Encompass or as a standalone solution, LoanNEX streamlines the entire lock process—empowering teams to move faster, with greater accuracy and control. This is the first solution to unify Primary and Secondary lock workflows—eliminating manual steps, disconnected systems, and pricing risk. Dual-lock tabs, real-time alerts, and same-NEXID traceability streamline the lock lifecycle from originator to investor. The result: faster execution, increased accuracy, and aligned decision-making across teams.
