Mortgage Banking Systems Adds ComplianceAnalyzer to ProClose Platinum - Closing Doc Compliance Check Protects Lenders from Repurchase Risk -
MCLEAN, Va., Jan 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE)
- Mortgage Banking Systems, Inc., a leading provider of mortgage closing document services and technology, has added ComplianceAnalyzer®
from ComplianceEase® to its ProClose® Platinum closing product. Every loan in ProClose Platinum is now
scrutinized for strict regulatory compliance.
ProClose Platinum is a MISMO compliant, XML driven, web-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) doc prep solution that also provides lenders with a broad library of
investor and industry standard forms, data-driven loan program selection criteria, and SAS-70 secure electronic delivery of closing packages in PDF format.
With ComplianceAnalyzer, ProClose Platinum delivers maximum lender protection through a seamless connection to industry-leading compliance analysis technology
complete with detailed compliance reporting capabilities. Without leaving Platinum, one click provides a full compliance audit review by ComplianceAnalyzer as
an easy-to-understand loan-level report.
ComplianceAnalyzer testing checks TILA, HOEPA, GSE guidelines, as well as State and municipal high cost and anti-predatory lending against state licenses.
Threshold and variance analysis along with individual itemizations of points and fees tests are included. Users can access a complete trail of compliance reviews
across all applicable legislation. When potential violations are detected, the system gives narrative explanations. ComplianceAnalyzer reports reference the
reasoning, calculations, citations, and cite relevant legislation, with explanation in plain English.
"Non-compliance with federal, state or local 'high-cost,' anti-predatory lending laws, state regulations and investor compliance guidelines are the most common
reasons for repurchase requests," said Christine Kirby, president, Mortgage Banking Systems. "It is nearly impossible for lenders to remain complaint for
every loan scenario without taking the pre-close transaction approach offered by ProClose Platinum and ComplianceEase."
Next quarter, ProClose users will be able to send State Regulator reports directly from within Platinum, Kirby said.
"ComplianceEase has continually stressed the importance of pre-funding compliance reviews especially right before the closing documents are prepared. With the
current regulatory environment and the adoption of the same technology by state regulators, we are committed to delivering our state-of-the-art automated compliance
solution through partners like ProClose and helping turn risk management from a burden to a value-added strategy," said Mr. Michael Chan, Vice President at ComplianceEase.
