DENVER; February 16, 2026 – Mortgage Cadence, an Accenture (NYSE: ACN) company, has been awarded the 2026 Innovations Award from the PROGRESS in Lending Association. This is the 16th year PROGRESS in Lending has conferred this award. Mortgage Cadence was among the winners this year for transforming how LOS technology is built and delivered by embracing a model centered on close customer collaboration and continuous improvement.
“This honor is the Gold Seal when it comes to recognizing true industry innovation,” said PROGRESS in Lending Founder and Chairman Tony Garritano. “Mortgage Cadence is proving that collaborative innovation and customer-centric development can accelerate platform evolution, lower adoption barriers, and equip lenders with technology that truly meets the demands of modern mortgage lending.”
All applications were scored on a weighted scale. The Executive Team of PROGRESS in Lending looked for the innovation’s overall industry significance, the originality of the innovation, the positive change the innovation created, the intangible efficiencies gained as a result of the innovation, and the hard cost and time savings that the innovation enables industry participants to achieve.
“Innovation in mortgage technology is often defined by a product release or a feature enhancement,” said Seth Hooper, Chief Product Officer for Mortgage Cadence. “But true innovation is born from a new way of thinking, one rooted in partnership, adaptability, and a deep understanding of real lender needs. This vision is reflected in our rapid, consistent rollout of platform enhancements, including MCP 5.1, Services Center 1.9, Collaboration Center 1.23, and Borrower Center 9.1.”
PROGRESS in Lending pointed specifically to MCP Essentials, the company’s streamlined, pre-configured LOS configuration designed for credit unions, community banks, and mid-market lenders.
MCP Essentials distills the most valuable capabilities of the MCP Enterprise platform into a best-practice model shaped by customer conversations, implementation learnings, and user insights. It gives smaller lenders access to enterprise-grade power without the complexity, and it reflects a design philosophy built on listening, partnership, and customer success.
