"Fiserv is delighted to gain MISMO's automation underwriting systems certification for easyLENDER and UniFi PRO," said Ron Duff, senior vice president of IT for Fiserv Lending Solutions. "Our solutions have already been certified for credit and mortgage insurance. Now lenders who use Fiserv loan origination software solutions can have peace of mind in knowing that their transactions with MISMO-compliant automated underwriting systems providers will fully meet MISMO's exacting standards."

 the Mortgage Banking Association, MISMO is a key factor in achieving maximum connectivity throughout the mortgage industry, from loan origination solutions to fulfillment service providers. Without data exchange standards, lenders must manually enter loan data into multiple systems, which adds cost, increases data errors and slows the lending process; and when vendors use proprietary naming conventions

A naming convention is a collection of rules followed by a set of names.
 to process the same information, customized data conversion systems must be created and maintained to interface with other products and services.

"The MISMO brand has become widely recognized as offering efficiencies to the mortgage lending industry through standards development and innovation," said Gabe Minton, executive vice president at MISMO. "Certifications give lenders the confidence that products and services will work better together without costly data conversion systems, and technology vendors can be assured that their products and services will exchange mortgage data with speed and efficiency."

That efficiency can translate into measurably reduced lending costs. According to the MISMO Time and Motion Study published in October 2004, mortgage data integration can save up to $249 per loan, with about 75 percent of that going to the lender. The study demonstrated potential time and cost savings of 15 percent if MISMO standards were implemented throughout the lending process.

In addition to his Fiserv duties, Duff serves on MISMO's 20-member Governance Committee, which, among other activities, oversees MISMO's administration and policy development; directs the organization's efforts to approve, publish and release industry standards; and specifies the direction and goals of the MXCompliance program. The Fiserv certification was completed via the MXCompliance service.

"The use of MXCompliance is helping to accelerate the adoption of MISMO standards among mortgage industry trading partners," said Duff, "and MISMO is always delighted to see more technology vendors working to get their products certified. It makes the mortgage process faster and more affordable for both lenders and borrowers."

Duff said Fiserv will continue to aggressively support MISMO standards. "MISMO compliance helps ensure that our products can readily exchange data throughout the industry, and our customers benefit from more efficient systems integration, improved data accuracy and lower costs."
