Introduces Full Access to
Encompass® Partner Connect (EPC)
SharperLending is thrilled to announce full access to ICE’s Encompass® Partner Connect (EPC) interface for you and all your credit reporting clients! Prepare your clients today for transitioning to EPC, coming October 2025.
Our SharperLending team is fully prepared for this update, and we are ready to help you! Benefit from improved data accuracy and enhanced efficiency by readying yourself and your clients through this seamless integration with your existing systems.
The Best Part…
Your clients can try out the new EPC interface side-by-side with Encompass’s existing interface for credit. Why is this the best part? Because your clients can experiment with the new EPC interface without impacting their current workflow.
In other words: Encompass users can continue to use their current interface and utilize EPC in tandem as an additional option in their Credit Provider list. This is beneficial if you have one or two administrator-type users that want to try out the EPC interface, while everyone else continues to use the existing Encompass interface.
The only prerequisite is that your client must be using the Encompass SmartClient application that is installed on the desktop. (EPC’s web-based version will not have this option to have both interfaces side-by-side.)
EPC’s interface has a handful of enhancements that lenders can currently employ:
- New options in Request Type dropdown list
- Prequal and PreApproval identifiers
- More accurate naming of completed credit product
- Most importantly: Encompass will require usage of Encompass Partner Connect (EPC), starting October 2025.
