\nThe HW TECH100 program recognizes the increasingly influential role tech providers play in advancing the U.S. housing economy. Winners are selected by HousingWire\u2019s editorial staff based on the uniqueness of their solution and the significance of their market influence or potential. HousingWire received more than 400 nominations in the program\u2019s inaugural year, and since then the program has seen a steady increase in the number and caliber of companies applying for the honor.<\/p>\n
HousingWire recognized FormFree for its award-winning, mobile-friendly AccountChek\u2122 app, which helps financial institutions determine the ability of their customers to pay back loans using data obtained directly and securely from the borrower\u2019s financial institutions.
