WFG Enterprise Solutions launches Valutrust for Encompass Partner Connect

WFG Enterprise Solutions says its Valutrust platform is ready to help lenders and valuation providers move off legacy Encompass service ordering and onto ICE Mortgage Technology’s Encompass Partner Connect by the end of 2026. The platform can be used with Valutrust Solutions’ appraisal management services or as standalone technology.

Why it matters: - WFG Enterprise Solutions is positioning Valutrust as a bridge for lenders and valuation providers facing ICE Mortgage Technology’s December 31, 2026 deadline to move remaining legacy service-ordering integrations to Encompass Partner Connect. - The platform is designed to let organizations modernize appraisal-ordering workflows without forcing a switch in appraisal management company relationships. - The standalone option gives firms another path to update technology while keeping existing provider networks intact.

What happened: - WFG Enterprise Solutions, a division of Williston Financial Group, announced that its proprietary Valutrust technology platform is ready for Encompass Partner Connect. - The announcement was made September 23, 2026, in Irvine, California. - The platform is available whether or not an organization uses Valutrust Solutions as its appraisal management company.

The details: - Encompass Partner Connect is ICE Mortgage Technology’s service-ordering environment for connecting Encompass lenders with third-party service providers. - ICE Mortgage Technology requires customers and partners to complete the transition away from legacy service ordering by December 31, 2026. - Legacy service-ordering integrations will no longer be available beginning January 1, 2027. - Valutrust supports appraisal ordering and fulfillment, workflow configuration, data and document exchange, and real-time order-status visibility. - The platform also supports loan origination system integrations and connectivity through Encompass Partner Connect. - Organizations can use Valutrust with Valutrust Solutions’ national appraisal management services or as a standalone technology solution. - WFG says that flexibility lets each organization choose the service model that fits its operational structure, resources, and business requirements. - The company says the platform can work with WFG Lender Services and Valutrust Solutions, with other providers, or within one connected workflow. - More information is available at the EPC readiness page or by calling 877-550-VALU (8258). - The company’s enterprise page is available at WFG Enterprise Solutions. - Valutrust information is also available at Valutrust.

Between the lines: - The launch is aimed at lenders that need to act before the 2026 cutoff and want to reduce the risk of workflow disruption. - By offering both standalone software and bundled appraisal services, WFG is targeting organizations with different operating models and levels of in-house control. - The move also underscores how mortgage service ordering is shifting toward more connected, system-based workflows rather than legacy point integrations.

What's next: - WFG Enterprise Solutions is urging prospective users to identify any remaining legacy appraisal-ordering paths now. - The company is telling organizations to begin configuration and testing well ahead of the December 31 transition deadline. - Lenders and valuation providers that wait until late 2026 could face tighter implementation timelines before legacy integrations disappear on January 1, 2027.

The bottom line: - WFG’s Valutrust platform is now being pitched as a ready-made path for mortgage firms that need EPC compliance without abandoning existing valuation workflows.
