UWM launches Mortgage Matchup plugin for ChatGPT. The tool helps users find independent mortgage brokers, run affordability math, and access calculators and education Article Summary. United Wholesale Mortgage launched a Mortgage Matchup plugin for ChatGPT. Users can search for independent mortgage brokers by expertise, run affordability estimates, and access calculators, glossary terms and educational content. AI Summary United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) announced Tuesday that it has launched a Mortgage Matchup plugin for ChatGPT that's designed to connect borrowers with independent mortgage brokers across the country. The plugin, available through the ChatGPT mobile app and website, allows users to search for mortgage originators in their area, calculate how much home they can afford and access mortgage calculators, a glossary of common mortgage terms and educational content. "Consumers expect instant access to any and all information, the mortgage industry should be no different," Sarah DeCiantis, chief marketing officer at UWM, said in a statement. "Launching the Mortgage Matchup ChatGPT plugin is another step towards making the process of finding a mortgage expert easier, faster and more personalized." The tool allows users to search for loan originators based on specific expertise and characteristics, including whether they are bilingual, specialize in a particular loan type or have strong client reviews. Users can prompt ChatGPT by starting a request with "Mortgage Matchup," which will automatically surface the plugin in the conversation. The first time a user accesses the plugin, ChatGPT will prompt them to connect and provide information about what data may be shared. Loan originators with a Mortgage Matchup profile will be eligible to appear in the plugin, using the information included on their existing profiles on the Mortgage Matchup website. Profiles can include a photo, contact information, website, social media links and professional biography. "We are bringing mortgage guidance into a widely used AI platform, helping consumers get the information they need to connect with the right mortgage expert when they're ready," DeCiantis said.

Two Harbors clears final regulatory hurdle for CrossCountry merger. CCM appears poised to finally acquire TWO's long-coveted mortgage servicing rights * August 21, 2026 Break out the champagne. After a lengthy engagement, the marriage of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (TWO) and CrossCountry Mortgage (CCM) is nearing its conclusion. TWO, a mortgage servicing rights-focused real estate investment trust, announced Friday that it had received final regulatory approval for its merger with CCM. The transaction is expected to close before the market opens Aug. 25. TWO shareholders had approved CCM's acquisition proposal on July 2, ending a bitter bidding battle between the retail lending giant and the parent company of United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM). If the transaction closes, TWO shareholders will receive $12 per share of common stock and a prorated stub dividend. Two Harbors said the dividend would be slightly more than 20 cents per share and "will be paid with the merger consideration and will not reduce or otherwise affect the merger consideration."

UWM filed a complaint on Aug. 10 against TWO, seeking more than $500 million in damages. UWM alleges Two Harbors improperly facilitated CCM's competing bid after agreeing to an all-stock deal with UWM in December 2025, which was valued at $1.3 billion at the time. Two Harbors has denied those accusations, calling UWM's lawsuit "baseless" and "frivolous." * Eric Souza Eric Souza is editor of Scotsman Guide magazine. View all posts Editor

CASE ALLEGATIONS: UWM engages in the origination, sale, and servicing residential mortgage lending. According to the complaint, in December 2025, UWM and Two Harbors Investment Corp. signed an all-stock merger agreement valued at $1.3 billion to expand UWM's mortgage servicing rights. Allegedly, in March 2026, Two Harbors Investment Corp. terminated the UWM agreement due to a competing offer and agreed to pay UWM's termination fee. The UWM class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) UWM had deviated from its traditional strategy of not hedging its mortgage servicing rights to take a major hedge position; (ii) UWM over-hedged itself in anticipation of the Two Harbors Investment Corp. transaction; (iii) UWM's purported efforts to balance its risk in fact created an excess hedging risk; and (iv) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about UWM's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On August 5, 2026, after the market closed, UWM reported second quarter fiscal year 2026 financial results, allegedly including a nearly $603.2 million interest rate derivatives loss which contributed to a $451.9 million second quarter net loss, and that total equity fell 43.6% year over year, reflecting the net loss and derivative-related charges. Then, on August 6, 2026, UWM held an earnings call in connection with its second quarter 2026 financial results. According to the complaint, UWM's Chief Executive Officer, Mathew Ishbia, disclosed "[w]e were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction" and that "[w]e don't traditionally hedge our MSRs [Mortgage Servicing Rights]" but "when you're going through and acquiring a company like Two Harbors and a massive MSR book... it created a little more risk. So... we did put a hedge on to protect against that risk and then a lot of things happen[ed]...and then obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away. And so a confluence of events that created a hedge loss." On this news, the price of UWM shares fell nearly 35%, according to the complaint. Business Wire (engl.)
