October 17, 2006
Seventeen of Top 20 U.S. Lenders Obtain Assured Secure E-mail Delivery
eLynx Ltd., a portfolio company of American Capital Strategies Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACAS) and a leading provider of secure Web services for lenders and insurance companies, and Goodmail Systems, Inc., creator of the CertifiedEmail system for trusted, assured e-mail delivery, today announced a partnership to automatically include CertifiedEmail functionality in the eLynx e-services platform including electronic document delivery, electronic signature and integrated paper fulfillment.
Currently working with 17 of the top 20 U.S. lenders within a customer base of more than 500 clients, eLynx’s e-services platform uses e-mail to deliver links to Web sites where consumers can securely obtain their mortgage and insurance documents in a paperless manner. Goodmail provides accredited volume e-mail senders with the CertifiedEmail technology, imprinting outgoing e-mail messages with cryptographically secure tokens which are recognized by participating mailbox providers such as AOL and Yahoo! When such mailbox providers receive CertifiedEmail, they automatically route messages to the server-level inbox, past content and volume filters, rendering links and images active by default.
“The eLynx platform delivers well more than half of all U.S. mortgages,” said Richard Gingras, CEO and co-founder of Goodmail. “With the addition of CertifiedEmail capability to the eLynx e-services platform, these leading financial institutions achieve assured delivery of trusted e-mail messages which arrive fully functional for consumers to click on and obtain their mortgage, insurance, or other high-value documents.”
“Our customers absolutely depend on us to electronically deliver confidential financial documents in a secure manner,” said Phil Huff, president and CEO of eLynx. “Large mortgage and insurance companies rely on our promise of ‘Total Fulfillment’ of delivery needs and CertifiedEmail is a key enabling technology for increasing adoption of electronic methods.”
CertifiedEmail is now included for eLynx customers as part of the eLynx e-services platform.
