Ellie Mae was founded to leverage the power of the Internet for mortgage brokers and originators. Our unifying mission is to empower the people who traditionally originate mortgages with the most effective technology support available today—enabling them to compete successfully with Internet mass-marketing alliances and direct-to-consumer lender websites.

Every facet of the mortgage industry ecosystem can benefit from Ellie Mae's comprehensive business-to-business approach.

• Mortgage brokers get free access to powerful Internet-transaction technology and low-cost Internet marketing programs—as well as a powerful, flexible software environment in which to manage daily tasks and strategic business development.
• Lenders and settlement service providers enjoy streamlined access to a huge, Internet-enabled marketplace, with instantaneous, error-free loan and service transactions through branded storefronts on the ePASS® Network.
• Realtors and other real estate professionals continue to profit from the services of trusted and long-established mortgage originators—only now with the added convenience of Internet-based transactions at Internet speeds.
• Consumers enjoy the easy shopping experience, convenience, and empowerment offered by the Internet—combined with the ready assistance and expertise of established local mortgage professionals.
