Empower users also benefit from CompassPPE’s extensive API library; daily maintenance of pricing, guidelines, and adjusters for all top investors; mortgage insurance quote comparisons; live pricing; and much more. Its easy-to-use administrative functions include the ability to make updates in bulk quickly and simply.
CompassPPE includes a granular margin-management framework, which enables lenders to implement margins based on a variety of factors.
