In addition, agencies like the CFPB have made it clear that their examination and data exchange tools will rely on and conform to the MISMO standard.

In 2021, DocMagic's proprietary RON capability was offered to its existing client base, enabling lenders and their bor- rowers to realize a fully digital closing experience. "We are pleased to have received these important certifica- tions, which establish standards that improve lenders' ability to evaluate eClosing technology providers," said Dominic Iannitti, President and CEO of DocMagic.
