Overview

Black Knight, Inc. was a major American provider of integrated software, data, and analytics serving the mortgage lending, servicing, real estate, and capital markets industries. The company was headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, and its products were used by many of the largest U.S. mortgage lenders, servicers, and investors. Black Knight's offerings spanned loan origination, servicing, default management, property data, and secondary market analytics. Its flagship servicing platform, MSP, was widely used across the mortgage industry. The company was originally part of Lender Processing Services (LPS), which was spun off from Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) in 2008. In 2014, LPS separated its technology, data, and analytics businesses into a new publicly traded company named Black Knight Financial Services, which later rebranded as Black Knight, Inc. The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BKI. In 2023, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) acquired Black Knight after a lengthy regulatory review. Following the acquisition, Black Knight's mortgage technology assets were integrated into ICE Mortgage Technology, and the Black Knight brand was gradually retired in favor of the ICE brand. The official website blackknightinc.com now redirects to ICE Mortgage Technology's site, and product names have been rebranded with the ICE prefix. Today, the former Black Knight business operates as part of ICE Mortgage Technology, serving lenders, partners, service providers, title agents, mortgage investors, and homeowners. Its solutions help customers navigate changing regulations, complex workflows, and thinning margins to close loans quickly and maximize profit.

History

Black Knight, Inc. traces its roots to Lender Processing Services (LPS), which was spun off from Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) in 2008. LPS provided technology, data, and analytics to the mortgage industry. In 2014, LPS separated its technology, data, and analytics businesses into a new publicly traded company called Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BKI. It later rebranded as Black Knight, Inc. Black Knight grew through a combination of organic product development and acquisitions, expanding its footprint in mortgage servicing, origination, default management, and real estate data. Its MSP servicing platform became an industry standard, used by many of the largest U.S. mortgage servicers. The company also offered loan origination systems, property valuation models, and analytics for capital markets. In 2023, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) acquired Black Knight in a deal valued at approximately $11.9 billion, after agreeing to divest certain businesses to satisfy antitrust regulators. Following the acquisition, Black Knight's mortgage technology assets were integrated into ICE Mortgage Technology. The Black Knight brand was phased out, and product names were rebranded with the ICE prefix. For example, the Encompass Product and Pricing Service (EPPS) became ICE PPE, and AIQ became ICE Data & Document Automation and ICE Mortgage Analyzers. Today, the former Black Knight business operates as part of ICE Mortgage Technology, serving lenders, partners, service providers, title agents, mortgage investors, and homeowners. Its solutions help customers navigate changing regulations, complex workflows, and thinning margins to close loans quickly and maximize profit.
