SAN DIEGO, CA – October 15, 2026 – Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, and Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in home lending technology, announced a new data integration between MCT’s platform and Dark Matter’s Empower® loan origination solution (LOS). The integration, now available for existing mutual clients, streamlines the flow of loan data between origination and secondary marketing, giving lenders a faster and more reliable path from commitment to delivery.
The integration’s first phase connects the Empower LOS data directly to MCT’s platform and writes post-commitment data, including loan sale commitments executed on MCT Marketplace, back to Empower automatically.
This removes a manual step that has historically required lenders’ teams to re-enter or reconcile loan sale data by hand, reducing the risk of mismatched records between systems. As an example, a lender selling an average of 50 loans who saves just three minutes of manual entry per loan through the writeback would recover roughly 150 minutes, or two and a half hours, of staff time each cycle.
“Every manual data handoff between an LOS and a secondary marketing platform is a place where errors creep in and time gets lost,” said Chris Anderson, CAO and Head of Data Integrations at MCT. “This integration closes that gap. Empower clients get a direct, automated connection to MCT that protects data integrity and gives their teams time back for execution and margin management.”
“Lenders should not have to manage the handoff between their LOS and their secondary marketing platform manually,” said Vikas Rao, CEO of Dark Matter Technologies. “This expanded integration with MCT helps automate that process, creating a more seamless flow of accurate data between Empower and MCT’s platform so lenders can spend less time reconciling information and more time focused on execution.”
The enhanced integration is available now to mutual MCT and Empower clients, with onboarding managed by MCT’s integrations team. Mortgage lenders interested in learning more about the integration are encouraged to schedule a consultation.
