Dark Matter Expands Empower Los With Eclosing Integration

Dark Matter Technologies has expanded its Empower loan origination system (LOS) to include eClosing capabilities by integrating Wolters Kluwer’s eOriginal ClosingCenter and eOriginal eAsset Management Platform, the company announced Tuesday.

The integration enables a fully digital mortgage closing process that supports hybrid, in-person electronic notarization (IPEN) and remote online notarization (RON). It also streamlines the workflow from preclosing through secondary market delivery.

“This is about giving lenders a true digital edge,” Sean Dugan, CEO of Dark Matter Technologies, said in a statement. “Empower’s new eClosing integration makes it possible for lenders to reduce closing times, streamline operations and enhance the borrower experience, all while ensuring compliance and accelerating the delivery of digital assets to the secondary market.”

Empower users can now manage document reviews and eSignatures within a centralized eClosing room. Borrowers can review and sign documents in advance, while lenders and settlement agents can coordinate closings more efficiently.

The system also includes an eNotary hub that connects to providers such as Proof, NotaryCam and EscrowTab, allowing agents to choose their preferred platform.

The eAsset Management Platform supports the creation, execution, registration and management of eNotes through the MERS eRegistry, with secure document storage in an eVault designed to ensure compliance, data security and auditability.

Combined with Empower’s existing integration with Wolters Kluwer’s Expere document generation platform, the system offers a single, scalable solution aimed at reducing cost, risk and operational friction throughout the mortgage process.

“We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Dark Matter by integrating Wolters Kluwer’s eClosing capabilities into the Empower loan origination system,” said Shreya Shankar, vice president of partnerships for Wolters Kluwer financial and corporate compliance.

“Together, we are advancing the financial services industry’s transition to a fully digital future and helping lenders elevate borrower satisfaction, drive revenue growth, streamline operations, and unlock new opportunities in the secondary market.”
