Press ReleaseWolters Kluwer Financial Services Introduces Disclosure Manager™
Robust Solution Allows Mortgage Lenders To Automate Entire Initial Disclosure Process While Outsourcing Production And Mailing Of Paper-Based Disclosures
MINNEAPOLIS – March 12, 2008 – Wolters Kluwer Financial Services announced today the launch of Disclosure Manager™, a robust automated solution designed to replace a lender’s cumbersome paper-based home loan disclosure process. Disclosure Manager is unique in that the solution allows lenders to automate the entire initial loan disclosure process, from document creation to the secure electronic delivery of documents to borrowers for eConsent or eSignature. In addition, Disclosure Manager allows lenders to completely and securely outsource the printing and mailing of paper disclosures when needed or requested by the borrower through Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ SAS70-certified mail fulfillment center. The solution is also highly-configurable, allowing lenders to take advantage of all of its functionalities or just certain ones as needed depending on lenders’ specific work flow needs. Utilizing Disclosure Manager helps lenders more efficiently comply with regulatory requirements while originating loans faster, reducing operational costs and improving the overall borrower experience. Lenders can significantly lower the number of full-time employees working on the disclosure process and move them to revenue-generating activities instead. Through secure electronic delivery of disclosures, lenders also realize dramatic cost-savings in the form of reduced printing, handling and mailing costs. By using Disclosure Manager’s secure electronic delivery feature, lenders can deliver disclosures to borrowers in a matter of minutes versus days. Borrowers are given the option of immediately offering eConsent or eSigning the disclosure, speeding up their time to closing and locking them in more quickly as a customer for the lender. Secure electronic delivery also provides lenders with a complete and verifiable audit trail to prove to regulators that required disclosures were sent to the borrower within 72 hours of application, as required by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Disclosure Manager draws upon Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ proven technology solutions to help lenders completely and securely automate the initial disclosure process:
“Wolters Kluwer Financial Services is committed to providing lenders with comprehensive solutions that help them address their compliance and risk management challenges from start to finish,” said Jason Marx, vice president and general manager, Mortgage, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. “In the case of Disclosure Manager, we worked with one of the nation’s top five mortgage lenders to custom-build a solution that would save them time and money while strengthening regulatory compliance and improving the borrower experience. And now we’re bringing those benefits to all lenders with Disclosure Manager.” For more information on Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ Disclosure Manager solution, please visit www.WoltersKluwerFS.com/DisclosureManager.
