Floify launches Floify Verify, a native verification of income and employment service

Powered by Argyle, Floify Verify saves mortgage lenders time and money while providing access to GSE representations and warranties relief

BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 10, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced the availability of Floify Verify, a native electronic verification of income and employment (VOIE) service powered by Argyle. Designed to streamline the mortgage origination process, Floify Verify allows lenders to verify income and employment at a cost-effective price point without the hassle of managing additional third-party vendors.

Image caption: Floify.

Floify Verify’s native functionality allows lenders to prioritize their business objectives, whether it’s accelerating loan processing or optimizing cost savings. Lenders focused on speed can embed Floify Verify directly into the loan application process to reduce delays and expedite loan approval. Alternatively, lenders aiming to manage costs can configure Floify Verify to be initiated by loan teams later in the process, such as after a financial pre-screening, enabling them to balance efficiency, cost control and the borrower’s experience.

Reports generated by Floify Verify have the potential to receive representations and warranties relief on eligible loan components from both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is because Argyle, which powers Floify Verify, is an authorized report supplier to both Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) validation service and Freddie Mac’s Loan Product Advisor® (LPA℠) asset and income modeler (AIM).

“VOIE has been a pain point for many of our customers, with legacy verification methods achieving low success rates at a high price point. These methods are ill-suited to today’s workforce and too expensive at a time when origination costs have risen to untenable levels,” said Sofia Rossato, Floify’s president and general manager. “In response, we’ve partnered with Argyle to offer an elegant and cost-effective way for lenders to verify income and employment in the Floify environment without the hassle of managing additional vendors.”

With Floify Verify, lenders can view borrower-permissioned records, such as pay stubs and W-2s, at 60–80% less cost than legacy providers and manual verification methods. Additionally, the solution supports on-demand reverification—such as the 10-day pre-closing verification required for agency loans—at no additional cost.

“Argyle is proud to extend a modern verification experience to more borrowers and originators through our collaboration with Floify,” said Shmulik Fishman, founder and CEO of Argyle. “Floify Verify, powered by Argyle, equips lenders with a faster, more efficient way to handle VOIE, shaving up to a week off closing times and dramatically cutting costs—all while reducing the risk of loan buybacks.”

About Argyle

Founded in 2018, Argyle is backed by top investors, including Bain Capital Ventures, SignalFire, Checkr and Rockefeller Asset Management. Argyle is the leading provider of direct-source access to real-time income and employment data. With Argyle, companies automate critical workflows—including income and employment verifications, deposit switches, wage advances and loan repayments—so they can build better, more efficient processes, reduce risk and scale their businesses.

Critical Defect Rate Rises to 1.58%, Per ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the first quarter (Q1) of 2024. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Notable findings from the Q1 2024 report include the following:

* The overall critical defect rate increased 3.27% to 1.58% in Q1 2024, ending five quarters of decline.

* While Income/Employment remains the leading category of defects, performance improved tremendously quarter-over-quarter in this category.

* Defects increased in two of the four major underwriting categories, with Credit defects nearly doubling from Q4 2023.

* Legal/Regulatory/Compliance defects increased by 208.37% to 16.22%, becoming the second-highest category of defects this quarter, followed by Loan Documentation at 14.41%.

* Insurance defects, while usually negligible, comprised 8.11% of all defects.

* Although refinance review share declined this quarter, defect share doubled, indicating a degradation in quality in this area.

* Defect share outstripped review share for conventional loans this quarter, most certainly fueled by the surge in refinance defects.

* Both review share and defect share declined in the FHA category. Lenders also saw substantial improvements in VA defect share despite significantly increasing review share over Q4.

"Given origination levels in the first quarter of this year, the findings in this report showed greater changes than expected," said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. "Historically, defect rates decrease when there is a decline in origination levels; however, that was not the case for Q1. Mortgage lenders are no strangers to market adversity. While the market is shifting, we hope this report will serve as a reminder to reinforce quality control across the board."

Findings for the Q1 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

"The current mortgage market presents distinct challenges that lenders must navigate with precision. Although the critical defect rate remains low by historical standards, the increase in a quarter with record-low origination volumes is concerning. Notable rises across underwriting categories and unexpected insurance defects need closer scrutiny from lenders," said Trevor Gauthier, CEO of ACES Quality Management. "Overall, the data clearly shows that lenders are under increasing pressure to maintain quality amid changing market dynamics. A proactive approach to quality control is crucial for mitigating risk and ensuring long-term stability."

Floify’s President and General Manager Sofia Rossato named to 2024 HousingWire Women of Influence and Inman Best in Finance lists

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Floify, the mortgage industry's leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that Sofia Rossato, its president and general manager, has received two new honors, being named to HousingWire's Women of Influence and Inman's Best in Finance list. The Inman award is the second in a row for Rossato.

Rossato was tapped to lead Floify in Spring 2022, soon after the popular mortgage point-of-sale company's acquisition by Porch Group. Taking the helm of a fintech company during a historically brutal housing market, Rossato has proven her mettle as a leader by strengthening Floify's market footprint with customer empathy and business acumen.

Since taking over at Floify, Rossato has infused new life into the popular mortgage point-of-sale (POS), overseeing the rapid rollout of features that help its lenders and broker customers optimize operations and improve borrower service. Last fall, she greenlit a verification of income and employment waterfall workflow and oversaw the launch of Floify Broker Edition in December 2023, followed by Floify Lender Edition in March 2024.

Prior to Floify, Rossato was managing director and COO for the billion-dollar information division of $17B fintech, IHS Markit. She also was CEO of SnapEngage, an omni-channel messaging platform and early adopter of AI.

HousingWire's Women of Influence program was launched in 2010 to recognize women making notable contributions to both their businesses and the industry at large - with a specific focus on contributions during the most recent 12 months.

Inman's 2024 Best in Finance list, now in its second year, honors professionals hand-selected by Inman's editorial team for their role in shaping the mortgage and financial services industries through leadership and commitment to innovation.

"I am deeply honored by both of these awards and want to thank and recognize the small but mighty team we've assembled here at Floify for getting us here. These awards truly belong to all of us," says Rossato. "I'm proud of the products we've launched during the past 12 months and the business value they are providing to mortgage lenders and brokers at a time when we all need to contain costs and boost productivity. We are proud to be leading this charge for our customers."

The complete lists of HousingWire Women of Influence winners and Inman Best in Finance winners can be viewed on the publications' respective websites.

Critical Defect Rate Declines Five Straight Quarters, Ending 2023 at 1.53%, Per ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the fourth quarter (Q4) and calendar year (CY) of 2023. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Notable findings from the Q4 2023 report include the following:

* The overall critical defect rate declined 8.38%, ending the quarter at 1.53%.

* The overall rate for CY 2023 was 1.68%, down 19.18% from CY 2022.

* Of the four major underwriting categories, Credit and Liabilities improved in Q4 2023, while defects increased for Assets and Income/Employment. However, only one category - Credit - improved overall for CY 2023.

* Income/Employment remains the leading category of defects reported in Q4 2023, with Assets and Borrower and Mortgage Eligibility completing the top three categories of defects cited.

* Income/Employment and Assets were also the top two most cited defect categories for CY 2023, with Loan Documentation in third place.

* The sub-category analysis for both Q4 2023 and CY 2023 showed a tremendous increase in Calculation/Analysis-related errors for the Assets category. Eligibility-related defects also increased in the Credit and Income/Employment categories in Q4, while CY 2023 saw moderate increases in Credit Documentation, Income/Employment Analysis and Eligibility.

* Purchase review share decreased by 1.34% over Q3, while refinance review share increased by 8.79%. Defect-wise, purchase share increased by 6.28%, and refinance share decreased by 36.2%.

* VA review share increased the most in 2023, rising 19.44%, followed by a 4.46% increase in FHA review share. USDA review share declined by 15.63%, as did conventional by 4.22%.

* While FHA defect share increased by 1.85% quarter-over-quarter, USDA and VA loans experienced the most increases in Q4, rising 8.62% and 8.48%. While USDA review share also increased in Q4, VA review share remained relatively flat.

* For CY 2023, conventional and FHA defect share increased 5.83% and 11.6%, respectively. Defect share decreased by 68.15% for USDA loans and 26.61% for VA loans.

"Building on the gains made in late 2022, mortgage lenders improved loan quality in both Q4 2023 and for the year overall," said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. "However, persistent adversity in the form of interest rates and affordability challenges only emphasizes the need for lenders to remain vigilant and protect the integrity of existing loan production."

Findings for the Q4/CY 2023 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

"The overall critical defect rate for Q4 2023 dropped to 1.53%, among the lowest rates observed since this report's inception. Given five straight quarters of decline, it's evident lenders are prioritizing loan quality in the current market to preserve as much revenue as possible," said Trevor Gauthier, CEO of ACES Quality Management. "The market downturn led to operational staff cuts for many lenders, and those reductions certainly impacted QC departments. Lenders' ability to consistently drive down their critical defects in that environment speaks to the power of ACES to help lenders manage loan quality and mitigate risk in any environment."

The Mortgage QC Industry Trends Reports are available for download, free of charge, at https://www.acesquality.com/resources/reports.

Join ACES EVP, Nick Volpe and ACES President, Phill McCall on July 17th for their QC NOW webinar as they take a deeper dive into these analytics and how it aligns with the current state of the industry and how to best navigate through the volatile financial landscape.

Kiosk Machine Industry June 2024: Self Service Kiosk Machine – InfoComm Preview and Acrelec Feature

WESTMINSTER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kiosk Manufacturer Association News: See our Preview of InfoComm 2024 - See 22Miles, Peerless-AV, LG and Panasonic to name some. Biggest AV show of the year (along with ISE in Barcelona). We work with AVIXA as a main partner of ours.

In the restaurant and drive thru space we did a response report on the latest WW market report by Datos. Usually data reports are terrible but RBR does pretty good. See feature.

FEATURE:

Our latest Gold sponsor is Acrelec. Interesting facts are Acrelec has over 30,000 software licenses (many at McDonald's I hazard the guess). Interesting too is the greater reliance on self order kiosks in the French market. In the US you might see 6 kiosks (3 double-sided) whereas in France the standard is closer to 10 to 15. Datos list Acrelec as worldwide leader.

It's not surprising either to see Acrelec involved with Self Checkout (see Check out at Walmart NOT going away). Acrelec is owned by Glory, a financial giant in retail. Be sure and read our complete writeup - https://kioskindustry.org/mcdonalds-kiosk-acrelec/.

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, has been named one of the 2024 Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. The awards program was created in 2017 and is an Arizent and Best Companies Group project.

This annual survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in the financial technology industry. Companies recognized on this year's list operate in and serve companies and consumers in a wide range of financial services including banking and mortgages, insurance, payments and financial advisory. The 2024 list included 40 companies and was published by Arizent brands American Banker, National Mortgage News, PaymentsSource, Financial Planning and Digital Insurance on May 13, 2024.

"We know people are at the core of everything we do. It's humbling to have staff that understand and value ACES efforts internally and externally. Our organization's success wouldn't be possible without the ACES team," said CEO Trevor Gauthier. "Last year, we had the privilege of hosting our second annual user event, ACES ENGAGE, launched ACES PROTECT, broke audit volume records through our platforms with a 24% increase, and continue to focus on quality and compliance with our quarterly quality control trends reports and continued expansion of our Aces Managed Questionnaires and Compliance Newshub. These achievements are all thanks to our dedicated staff. We're delighted to be included on the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology for the second consecutive year."

"Though the fintech industry has faced many headwinds in the past year, the sector is still a vital cog in financial services, bringing ease of use and convenience to consumers and businesses," said Penny Crosman, executive editor of technology at American Banker. "This year's list honors companies that continue to innovate and create jobs for technologists."

To be considered for participation, companies must provide technology products, services or solutions that enable the delivery of financial services. Companies must also have been in business for at least one full year and employ at least 15 people in the U.S.

Companies from across the United States entered a two-part survey process to determine Arizent's Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. The first part evaluated each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics.

Courtney Dodd, Floify’s head of marketing, named a PROGRESS in Lending Sales, Marketing and PR Trailblazer

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Floify, the mortgage industry's leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that its Head of Marketing, industry-veteran Courtney Dodd, has been named a 2024 Sales, Marketing and PR Trailblazer award honoree by PROGRESS in Lending. Now in its fifth year, the award recognizes the top sales, marketing and public relations executives making the biggest impact on the mortgage industry today.

Dodd joined Floify in 2023 with 12 years of experience in the mortgage and fintech sectors. Since then, the marketing expert has implemented a full-funnel strategic marketing strategy from the ground up to rebrand Floify, an exceedingly user-friendly point-of-sale (POS) platform, and reinforce its position as a fintech innovator. In 2023 and 2024, she successfully led the launch of two new products, Floify Broker Edition and Floify Lender Edition.

"We are extremely proud of Courtney and this recognition from PROGRESS in Lending as an industry trailblazer," said Sofia Rossato, president and general manager at Floify. "Courtney has brought a deep understanding of the market and the needs of our customers to finetune and launch products that exactly match their needs and budgets, which is helping us gain market share even in a 'down' market."

Many of Dodd's fast-track achievements at Floify are based on her extensive mortgage industry marketing experience. Dodd joined SimpleNexus (now an nCino company) in 2019, and her marketing efforts helped the platform more than double its active users. During her tenure, she was also half of a two-person team that developed a consultant program called the SimpleNexus Advocacy Program (SNAP), which brought in more than $1.5 million in sales revenue in the two-year period she worked on the project. Dodd led the sponsor program at SimpleNexus User Group (SNUG) from 2020 to 2023, tripling sponsorship contributions in this period. In 2021, she was promoted to director of integrated marketing, and she oversaw all events/conferences, association relationships, demand gen marketing, digital marketing and account-based marketing.

Prior to SimpleNexus, Dodd was product marketing manager at Ellie Mae (now ICE Mortgage Technology), where she led strategic product marketing initiatives, including branding, positioning, client communications and go-to-market planning. She also served as marketing manager at Calyx Software and was the regional marketing consultancy team lead at PrimeLending, a PlainsCapital Company.

"It's an honor to be recognized by PROGRESS in Lending as a trailblazer in my field and add this recognition to the other accolades being earned by Floify and its team," said Dodd. "I feel we're a company on the move, bringing innovation to our customers and the industry at a time when mortgage lenders and brokers need to work more efficiently and contain costs while creating a digital-first and welcoming user experience to customers."

Floify supports Truv’s verification of borrower income and employment service via new integration

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Floify, the mortgage industry's leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced an integration with Truv, a consumer-permissioned data platform. The integration enables borrowers to electronically verify their income and employment as they apply for a mortgage loan.

Manual verification of income (VOI) and verification of employment (VOE) is a frustrating and time-consuming process for borrowers and a major source of production friction for mortgage lenders. Truv's ability to electronically verify income and employment for 95% of the U.S. workforce supports a better borrower experience while helping lenders make faster and more cost-effective underwriting decisions.

Floify allows lenders to create customizable borrower journeys without costly development work and automated task workflows that promote lending efficiency. When borrowers opt to electronically verify income and employment through Floify's borrower portal, Truv automatically retrieves two years of W-2s, paystubs, bank statements and 1099s, providing lenders with information needed to pre-approve borrowers. By procuring VOI and VOE reports at the point of application, lenders can pre-approve borrowers faster while reducing production costs and risk.

In March, Floify released Lender Edition to help lenders support a best-in-class borrower experience while streamlining production and controlling costs. "We are always looking for ways to improve the lending experience for both homebuyers and lenders, and this integration accomplishes both," said Sofia Rossato, Floify's president and general manager. "This integration not only achieves that but also caters to users who favor Truv's efficient verification services. Simplifying VOI and VOE empowers borrowers and lenders with a smoother, faster path to home financing."

"From our perspective, the timing of this integration will be welcomed by lenders looking to scale back costs, saving 60-80% compared to traditional verification providers. Lenders now have the opportunity to maximize pull-through of the applications they receive, realize a substantial increase in conversion, and reduce risk and fraud end-to-end," said Kirill Klokov, CEO at Truv.

About Truv

Truv is the market-leading consumer-permissioned data platform that enables financial organizations with access to every financial data source available. Use cases supported by Truv include income and employment verification, employment history verification, paycheck-linked loans, verification of insurance, direct deposit switching, and earned wage access. Through Truv's model of having access to payroll data, financial account transaction data, tax data and insurance data, Truv's platform is built with unmatched coverage, compliance and data quality.

Floify prepopulates loan applications for borrowers using data on file in Total Expert

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Floify, the mortgage industry's leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced an enhanced integration with customer engagement platform Total Expert. This collaboration enables loan originators to effortlessly send pre-populated loan applications to borrowers, leveraging the existing data within Total Expert. This feature is designed to streamline the loan origination process for lenders and enhance the application experience for borrowers by reducing redundant data entry.

The integration harnesses borrower data previously collected, either from past transactions or during the nurturing process. This advancement proves particularly beneficial as lower interest rates are anticipated to spur increased refinancing and home equity loan originations. It offers a more efficient origination process for lenders and a smoother, less repetitive application process for borrowers.

Floify allows lenders to create customizable borrower journeys without costly development work and automated task workflows that promote lending efficiency. Its user-friendly borrower portal lets borrowers apply for and track mortgage loans on any device. Total Expert's customer engagement and intelligent automation platform improves the loan officer's sales productivity and automates communications to help lenders deliver an enhanced customer journey.

"The Floify-Total Expert direct connection allows lenders to use the best sales experience automations offered by Total Expert in conjunction with the great user experience of Floify," said Sofia Rossato, Floify's president and general manager. "This integration responds to a growing demand from lenders for tools that provide both their LOs and customers with greater convenience and a more modern technology experience."

"We are excited that originators already using both products are reporting an increase in conversion and pull-through rates, along with gaining customer accolades," said Dan Catinella, Chief Lending Officer at Total Expert "Our team continues to innovate quickly and deliver impactful technology to help our customers as the industry seeks to maximize the loan officer's productivity and provide an unparalleled customer experience at the point of sale and during the origination process."

Plano, TX-based Benchmark Mortgage already uses both Floify and Total Expert and was a beta tester for the enhancement.

"Instead of providing the same information again and again, like you might need to on several forms during a doctor visit, this connection pre-populates data for customers, saving them a lot of time and frustration. Plus, it reduces the number of systems loan officers need to go into Encompass to find customer data. It's really a huge time-saver all around," said Garrett Finkelstein, Vice President of Marketing at Benchmark Mortgage.

ACES Q3 2023 Mortgage QC Trends Report Finds Critical Defect Rate Declines for Fourth Consecutive Quarter

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the third quarter (Q3) of 2023. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Notable findings from the Q3 2023 report include the following:

* The overall critical defect rate decreased by 2.91% to 1.67%, representing four consecutive quarters of decline.

* Defects in the Liabilities category increased for the third straight quarter, whereas Credit and Income/Employment defects decreased significantly.

* Despite its improvement over the last quarter, Income/Employment continues to lead all defect categories, followed by Loan Documentation and Borrower and Mortgage Eligibility.

* Appraisal defects edged up slightly in Q3 after declining in Q2.

* Once again, purchase and refinance transactions achieved relative defect parity, thus firmly solidifying the market's status as being purchase-driven.

* FHA and VA review share increased in Q3, while USDA and conventional reviews declined. However, defect share increased across all loan types except conventional.

"With the last years' worth of defect data trending downward, it's clear lenders have gotten a better handle on loan quality after the alarming spike observed in Q3 2022. A natural result of proactive remediation efforts. However, we would be remiss in not acknowledging the corresponding decline in origination volume," said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. "While fewer loans may afford lenders the opportunity to intensify their focus on quality, it's clear that maintaining high standards amidst market fluctuations remains paramount. The persistence of this trend underscores the industry's adaptability and dedication to ensuring the integrity of lending practices."

Findings for the Q3 2023 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

"As a provider of QC management software, it's been especially gratifying to observe the industry bolster its QC efforts over the last several quarters. With the market inevitably poised for shifts, lenders are now better equipped to manage changes in volume and adapt to regulatory changes," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "Last year, the lenders that thrived were those who embraced quality control and proactively prepared for the evolving market landscape. We eagerly anticipate witnessing lenders maintain their steadfast commitment to prioritizing quality as they navigate future market dynamics."

Floify’s Sofia Rossato named as advisor to the Broker Action Coalition board of directors

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Floify, the mortgage industry's leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that President and General Manager Sofia Rossato has been named as a board advisor to the newly formed board of Broker Action Coalition (BAC), a nonprofit organization created in 2022 to advocate for legislative reform and educational advancement within the independent mortgage broker community.

The BAC advocates for legislative change and education initiatives for independent mortgage brokers and homebuyers across the country. The board's 10 voting members are drawn from a diverse pool of industry experts and includes four lenders, four brokers and BAC's executive leadership. Rossato joins Brian Vieaux, president and COO of FinLocker and Sam Parker, owner of My Credit Guy, as a vendor advisor to the board.

"Unlike many industry groups, BAC takes a broad view of what lending professionals need to accomplish in order to be successful, and how those activities, in turn, can benefit consumers. That aligns with Floify's view of advancing technology in directions that improve the customer experience and help get more people into homes, especially those in underserved communities," said Rossato. "As a vendor advisor, my role on this board will be to figure out how technology should evolve to help brokers and lenders better serve homebuyers."

Rossato brings more than 20 years of experience growing companies in start-up and large corporate environments to the role. She was tapped to lead Floify in Spring 2022 after its acquisition by Porch Group. Since then, she has overseen a rapid rollout of new product features to help lenders and broker customers optimize operations, including the introduction of Floify Broker Edition. She was recently recognized as a National Mortgage Professional (NMP) 2024 Woman of Inspiration. Prior to Floify, Rossato was managing director and COO for the billion-dollar information division of $17B fintech, IHS Markit and was CEO of SnapEngage, an omni-channel messaging platform and early adopter of AI. She is a frequent speaker at industry conferences using technology to broaden access to homeownership.

"Sofia brings a deep understanding of the fintech market and how to optimize technology to help lenders and brokers better serve the needs of their borrowers from the time they fill out the loan application to the loan's close," said BAC Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Katie Sweeney. "Combined with BAC's governance structure, the board and its advisors reflect our commitment to engaging on policy issues that will protect and enhance opportunities for the independent brokerage community and consumers alike."

ACES Quality Management Releases Call Monitoring Audit Pack to Enhance Mortgage Quality Control and Compliance Programs

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, has announced its newest product offering, ACES Call Monitoring Audit Pack. The pre-built, configurable Call Monitoring Audit Pack enables lenders and servicers to establish an additional layer of protection quickly and seamlessly within their QC program. ACES Call Monitoring Audit Pack includes custom data fields, ACES managed questionnaires and custom reports configurable to the individual organizations' business needs.

"With the rise in higher escrow charges from insurance and property taxes, we expect banks and mortgage servicers will see an uptick in consumer calls, thus creating a clear need for a call monitoring tool as part of their overall quality control program," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "With so many guidelines to adhere to, a robust Call Monitoring program is critical to identifying where improvements are needed to protect your organization from regulatory and reputational risk."

Call Monitoring is essential to any substantial risk management program as required by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPFA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, as well as state-specific laws. While ACES users have always been able to perform call monitoring audits by leveraging ACES' robust customization capabilities, the new ACES Call Monitoring Audit Pack gives our customers a starting point to quickly and easily leverage the pre-built features. As part of the ACES technology ecosystem, ACES Call Monitoring Audit Pack comes pre-built with the necessary data fields, requirements, and reporting functions to make auditing seamless and will allow servicers to:

* Improve service quality and enhance the customer experience;

* Identify agent skill gaps as input for coaching and training needs;

* Increase productivity; and

* Ensure regulatory compliance to avoid high penalty fines.

"Given all the economic and environmental change in recent years, servicers have felt the brunt of it all. From COVID-19 to natural disasters, they have been on the frontlines of borrower communications. As regulators turn their attention to call monitoring to ensure consumer protection, at a minimum, servicers need to take action through QC tech to show regulators they are utilizing their resources effectively," added Gauthier.

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, has been selected for the tenth consecutive year by HousingWire magazine for its annual TECH100 awards program.

The enduring recognition of ACES in HousingWire's Tech100 list affirms our dedication to driving innovation in quality control."

In the past year, ACES introduced ACES PROTECT, a suite of automated regulatory compliance tests aimed at simplifying the auditing procedures for lenders. The company further expanded its commitment to industry knowledge communication by publishing over 450 articles and 160 calendar items on its complimentary Compliance NewsHub. Additionally, ACES continued to provide valuable insights through its quarterly Mortgage QC Industry Trends report. Recognizing the diverse requirements of businesses in consumer lending, servicing, specialty, and mortgage origination, ACES offers an enterprise-wide solution with customizable audit packs tailored to meet specific needs.

"The technology capabilities and solutions that this year's Tech100 winning organizations have developed are an absolute testament to the relentless innovation within the real estate and mortgage technology landscape," HW Media Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler said. "These past few years have been transformative for the industry and these honorees are continuing to bring long-awaited solutions to the challenges that mortgage and real estate professionals have struggled with for decades. Congratulations to all the deserving winners for their outstanding contributions to our ever-evolving industry."
