Intercontinental Exchange (ICE ) announced on November 4, 2026 that Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank (FRBA ), had signed an agreement to implement ICE’s MSP mortgage servicing system, with plans to adopt ICE Servicing Digital, ICE Customer Service and ICE Business Intelligence. The announcement did not disclose a contract value, implementation schedule or the size of the servicing portfolio covered by the agreement.

Gateway’s objectives are to improve early- and late-stage servicing efficiency, strengthen compliance and support customer experience as it scales its mortgage business. Consolidating core servicing functions on one platform is intended to reduce risk, streamline operational complexity and create a more cohesive homeowner experience.

“ICE’s integrated servicing solutions give us the tools to operate more efficiently while maintaining the personal service and strong community relationships our customers count on,” said Earl Dunham, Gateway Mortgage’s chief operating officer.

Core Servicing and Exception Handling

MSP supports the servicing lifecycle from loan boarding through payoff or default resolution, with integrated capabilities for loss mitigation, foreclosure, bankruptcy and invoicing. That scope aligns with Gateway’s consolidation plan by providing a single core environment across both routine account administration and default-related processes.

The MSP product documentation describes exception-based processing that automates routine tasks so employees can focus on work items requiring manual attention. ICE presents this as a way for servicing teams to manage higher volumes per employee. MSP is also actively monitored and updated to help address evolving federal servicing requirements, connecting the platform’s operating model to Gateway’s compliance objective.

Shared Tools for Borrowers and Support Agents

ICE Servicing Digital extends the environment to homeowners through a native mobile app and responsive web interface. Customers can view loan details, make payments, review payment history and see tax and insurance information; dashboards can also provide home valuations, neighborhood comparisons and home-equity scenarios. Servicers can white-label the application to retain their own brand attributes, a relevant capability given Dunham’s emphasis on personal service and community relationships.

ICE Customer Service automatically synchronizes data with MSP and presents borrower information and interactions through a single interface for support representatives. Consolidated views include pending payments, escrow details and key activity from the previous 30 days and coming 90 days. Threaded and tagged conversation histories allow multiple employees to see the same prior customer interactions, while integration with Servicing Digital lets representatives see what customers see.

When paired, Customer Service and Servicing Digital also support secure messaging and document sharing. Homeowners can initiate support requests at any time; messages are queued for agents during business hours and saved so representatives can review earlier questions during subsequent calls. This connects digital self-service with assisted support instead of leaving the two channels with separate customer histories.

Analytics Connected to Servicing Work

The final selected component, ICE Business Intelligence, draws loan-level data directly from MSP for automated reporting, interactive portfolio dashboards and operational oversight. Preconfigured servicing analytics include queries, reports and dashboards, with exportable data and configurable workflows that can update tasks in MSP after predetermined actions. Portfolio analysis can therefore lead directly to work in the servicing system rather than remain confined to standalone reporting.

Bob Hart, president of Mortgage Technology at ICE, said bringing core servicing, customer engagement and analytics together is intended to help Gateway manage growth, meet compliance requirements and give its teams more time to focus on customers.

The agreement makes integration the central element of Gateway’s servicing technology plan: exception handling and compliance sit in the core system, while homeowners, support agents and managers use connected tools built around MSP data. The operational test is whether those shared data and workflows deliver the efficiency and compliance improvements Gateway seeks while preserving the personal service Dunham emphasized.
