MERSCORP Holdings launches MERS® eNote Solutions, powered by eOriginal

Enabling mortgage originators to accelerate digital mortgage aoption

MERSCORP Holdings, Inc. (MERSCORP Holdings) and eOriginal, Inc. today launched a new solution offering that will enable originators to accelerate entry into the digital mortgage ecosystem. MERS® eNote Solutions, part of the MERS® eSuite, will enable the creation, execution, registration and management of the electronic promissory note, or eNote, to mortgage originators across the industry.

“MERSCORP Holdings is proud to provide technology-based solutions that add value to our members’ bottom line,” said Brendon Weiss, MERSCORP Holdings Chief Operating Officer. “Our members identified several gaps that need to be addressed to increase eNote adoption, and this new solution fills a significant need for originators seeking to leverage existing vendor relationships.”

MERSCORP Holdings is the owner and operator of the MERS® eRegistry, the national mortgage registry and legal system of record for identifying the controller (holder) and location (custodian) of the authoritative copy of registered eNotes. Interest in the production of eNotes continues to grow as consumers and lenders recognize the value of moving toward a more streamlined, electronic process. With more than 5,000-member organizations, MERSCORP Holdings is central to the growth of digital mortgages, and the new service provides a turn-key solution to those members who are driving toward a paperless process.

“This solution will enable thousands of originators to realize the benefits of a digitally executed promissory note at the closing table. The eNote is the most important document of a digital closing because it is critical for the funding of electronic mortgages by investors,” said eOriginal Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Mortgage, Simon Moir. “MERSCORP Holdings, as the operator of the MERS® eRegistry, has been instrumental to the advancement of digital mortgage. We are proud to have eOriginal’s technology power the MERS® eNote Solutions.”
