Sprout Mortgage closed its doors, ceasing operations and terminating its workforce during a conference call.

Floify added single sign-on (SSO) functionality to its mortgage point-of-sale system. SSO utilizes a centralized authentication service where one set of login credentials can be used to access multiple systems and applications. Floify’s SSO is an optional feature that can be enabled by a company administrator. Once enabled, origination teams will find their Floify landing pages and 1003 loan application present borrowers with the option to use Google, Facebook or company-specific SSO credentials to create an account or start their application, shortening the application-to-closing time.
