Wells Fargo Taps Doma to Streamline the Refinance Process

Doma’s machine intelligence powered title and escrow solutions to help drive superior Wells Fargo customer experience

Doma, a leading force for disruptive change in the real estate industry, today announced that its Doma Intelligence platform combined with its title and escrow solutions will help power the real estate closing experience for Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC). The relationship will enable Wells Fargo to leverage Doma’s proprietary machine intelligence technology to remove key points of friction and frustration involved in the traditional way of fulfilling mortgage closings, for both loan officers and mortgage customers. Today’s announcement comes on the heels of Doma entering into a business combination agreement in March 2021 with Capitol Investment Corp. V (NYSE: CAP, CAP WS and CAP.U) (“Capitol”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company.

“At Wells Fargo, our customers trust us with their finances through some of the most pivotal moments of their lives, including their real estate transactions, and our priority is on continuing to enhance our customer experience. In order to do that, it’s essential that we embrace modern day digital tools that maximize efficiency,” said Kristy Fercho, Head of Wells Fargo Home Lending. “Doma’s technology-led approach to instant title underwriting and more streamlined closing is aligned with our commitment to reduce time to close, lower costs for our customers, and create an exceptional experience.”

“Digital experiences in the mortgage industry are increasingly becoming table stakes as customers expect speed, control, and transparency," said Max Simkoff, CEO of Doma. “This trend has only been accelerated by the pandemic, and is why the most successful financial institutions are prioritizing a tech-first approach to real estate transactions. We’re thrilled to be working with Wells Fargo to help provide their customers with an efficient and smooth mortgage closing process in today’s competitive market.”

Doma is a technology company focused on creating a vastly more simple, efficient, and affordable closing experience for current and prospective homeowners, lenders, title agents and real estate professionals. Founded in 2016, Doma uses proprietary machine intelligence technology, that is being trained on 30 years of historical data, to remove the friction and frustration from the residential real estate closing process.
