Hey folks,

We understand that constant updates might seem like a barrage of information, but we assure you that these releases are pivotal, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Let's dive into the exciting features that LendAPI has recently rolled out!

### LendAPI v.1.5.7: Bridging the Gap with PortX Integration

In this release, we are thrilled to announce the successful integration with PortX. Now, you can open checking accounts seamlessly using one of the latest banking cores, Mambu. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to PortX's dedicated team for collaborating with us on this achievement. But that's not all—our commitment to innovation continues with ongoing development of additional API endpoints.

**Key Features:**

1. **DDA Account Opening Flow:** You can now deploy a Demand Deposit Account (DDA) opening flow directly onto your website. This feature is tailored for banks and fintechs aiming to facilitate the opening of bank accounts on top of a bank core.

2. **Product Builder Drag-n-Drop Effect:** We've enhanced the Product Builder functionality with a user-friendly drag-n-drop effect. Creating and customizing products has never been easier.

### LendAPI v.1.6: Pioneering a New Release Sequence

With v.1.6, we're embarking on a new release number sequence, and the initial enhancements are designed to elevate your experience.

**New Features:**

1. **Versioning with Product Builder:** Now, you have the power to save different versions of products created through the Product Builder feature. This is particularly useful for modifying application processes without affecting customers who came through an older version.

2. **Customer Blocklist:** Combatting nefarious actors is crucial. In v.1.6, we've introduced a customer blocklist, enabling you to filter out undesirable entities and enhance the security of your platform.
