Irvine, California-based LoanScorecard, a provider of nonagency automated underwriting systems has expanded its partnership with Deephaven Mortgage to power IDENTI-FI AUS for Deephaven’s correspondent division. LoanScorecard already powers IDENTI-FI AUS for the mortgage lender's wholesale division.

With this expanded partnership, LoanScorecard’s Portfolio Underwriter technology will power IDENTI-FI AUS, a non-QM point-of-sale/pre-qualification tool, for Deephaven’s correspondent division. IDENTI-FI AUS lets approved correspondent partners run loan scenarios and instantly determine potential options across Deephaven’s non-agency loan programs—allowing them to expand their potential borrower base.

Correspondent lenders can run an AUS findings report on any loan file for a detailed breakdown of Deephaven’s qualification criteria and documentation requirements through this platform.

“We’ve been using LoanScorecard’s technology for the past six months in our wholesale division and have already seen tremendous success helping LOs at the ever important point of sale,” said Mike Brenning, Chief Production Officer at Deephaven. “We’re confident leveraging LoanScorecard’s technology will allow our partners to offer non-QM products that can help them responsibly expand their businesses—and ultimately replicate the success we’ve had in our wholesale division.”
