LINCOLN, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mortech, a Zillow® business providing mortgage technology software solutions for mortgage bankers and secondary market teams, today announced a new suite of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau compliance tools built into Mortech’s Marksman® product and pricing engine. The new tools allow loan originators to manage compliance upon intake, prior to the deal entering the loan origination system.
"Fair lending and compliance have been a significant focus for Mortech during the past year. What began as a suite of compliance checks and tests has grown into a full-blown compliance management system, just in time for the new rules that the CFPB will implement next year," said Tom Erickson, mortgage industry and compliance specialist for Mortech. "Our compliance solutions put Mortech in the forefront of the mortgage technology arena, ensuring our customers can identify and address compliance issues early on in the loan process."
A number of new compliance checks specific to the Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule are available within Marksman, including:
- APR/APOR rate check spread
- Applicable debt-to-income ratios
- Lender fees and points calculation
- Non-qualification due to loan risk
When a lender selects a loan product, they are immediately notified whether it passed or failed the QM test. The lender can see which portions of the deal passed or failed, and the calculations used by Marksman to make this determination. Color-coded icons appear on screen to show at a glance whether the deal meets QM requirements.
In addition to QM tests, Marksman also provides a complete set of fair lending tests, checks for higher-priced mortgage loans and a workflow for anti-steering, where the loan officer can view and print an anti-steering disclosure form.
All compliance tests are customizable, allowing loan managers to disable certain tests or make them mandatory. In addition, built-in auditing tools allow lenders to provide support in the case of a compliance audit.
