Recognition marks the latest chapter in an ongoing collaboration that has produced three landmark milestones in digital mortgage lending
TORRANCE, Calif., June 29, 2026 — DocMagic® was honored today with PROGRESS in Lending’s 2026 Connections Award alongside Truliant Federal Credit Union, a North Carolina-based credit union serving over 300,000 members. The recognition honors a collaborative effort between the two organizations that culminated in the mortgage industry’s first electronic home equity line of credit (eHELOC) registered with the MERS® eRegistry."

Since 2020, Truliant and DocMagic have worked together to build the credit union's digital closing capabilities from the ground up. In June 2025, that partnership extended into home equity lending, where DocMagic's SmartSAFE™ eVault made the eHELOC registration possible.
The eHELOC milestone is the third time the two organizations have broken new ground together. In March 2020, DocMagic helped Truliant become the first credit union in North Carolina to complete a full eClosing. A year later, working with DocMagic, Truliant became the first credit union to transfer an eNote to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and just the second in the entire 11-member FHLBank system to do so, opening a wider path for member financial institutions to pledge eNotes. In the months that followed, the shift to eNotes cut six to eight days from Truliant's loan delivery timeline.
"Truliant has been a tremendous partner in advancing digital lending across the credit union space," said Pat Theodora, CEO of DocMagic. "Every milestone we've reached together over the years has been built on a shared belief that the next frontier is always worth pursuing.”
Now in its third year, the Connections Award honors partnerships and integrations that are advancing mortgage lending through collaboration, innovation and measurable business results. For a full list of 2026 winners, visit https://mymortgagemindset.com/.
