“Integrating our most popular mortgage solutions directly into LendingQB makes it effortless for lenders to select the products they trust to originate loans of exceptional quality,” said Kevin Wall, president of First American Mortgage Solutions.

The integration between First American Mortgage Solutions and FraudGuard is fully compatible with MISMO 3.3, a voluntary, industry-wide set of specifications established by the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization to promote better data standardization and security. The MISMO 3.3 data infrastructure delivers a more consistent user experience and will make future updates to the integration easier to deploy.

We recognize the increased demands that today’s regulatory environment places on our clients, and we feel certain First American will help our mutual customers quickly and confidently close high-quality loans,” said Binh Dang, president of LendingQB.
