The Encompass SDK and legacy integrations are being retired on October 31, 2025. This shift affects a wide range of SDK-based applications and service ordering connections across the ICE Mortgage Technology ecosystem.
Affected technologies include:
- Encompass SDK: Standalone modules and custom plugins
- PSDK (Partner SDK): Used by third-party providers
These technologies have been serving the industry for years, but it’s time to change for the better.
What Happens If You Don’t Take Action?
Organizations that continue relying on these systems past the sunset date will face major disruptions, including:
- SDK applications will stop working or fail to load properly
- Service ordering connections will break, impacting loan processing
- Transitional SDK access will be required to maintain operations (must be requested by October 1, 2025/as soon as possible)
- Ongoing usage fees will begin accruing for any SDK dependencies as announced by ICE Mortgage Technology
The shift away from legacy systems is a chance to upgrade to scalable integrations that deliver long-term value.
Why Move to Encompass Partner Connect (EPC)?
Encompass Partner Connect (EPC) is ICE Mortgage Technology’s modern, API-based integration platform designed to replace legacy SDKs. By transitioning to EPC, you gain access to flexible, scalable APIs that streamline workflows, improve automation, and support long-term innovation across your mortgage operations. With the October 31, 2025 sunset approaching fast, now is the time to adopt the latest Encompass APIs and avoid service disruptions. Partners like ValueLink are already live and supporting a seamless transition with full EPC compliance.
How to Prepare for a Smooth Transition
Avoiding disruption starts with knowing what to expect and acting early. Use the following timeline to ensure a seamless move to EPC:
Now:
- Identify all SDK-based applications and legacy service ordering integrations in your environment
- Collaborate with your teams to outline a clear migration plan
- Begin transitioning to EPC-enabled providers like ValueLink for seamless continuity
- If SDK access is still required after sunset, submit a request for transitional access before Q3 2025
Before Q3 2025 Ends:
