BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - Knutson Mortgage Corp. announced its purchase of Residential Express from GE Capital Mortgage Corp. The deal was previously reported in the American Banker.

Residential Express is a computerized loan origination system that gives lenders and affinity organizations access to loan programs and the secondary market.

The addition fits with Knutson's plans to expand to become a national presence by working with banks and credit unions and expanding its wholesale and correspondent operations.
