MILWAUKEE, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mortgage insurance from Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC) is now available to lenders nationwide through the easyLENDER(R) Mortgage loan origination software (LOS) system from Fiserv Lending Solutions, a unit of Fiserv, Inc. .

easyLENDER Mortgage is fully MISMO-compliant in the area of mortgage insurance (MI), so MI vendors that offer MISMO-compliant products can readily link their offerings to easyLENDER Mortgage. Because MGIC's MI solution is also MISMO-compliant, data flows between the Fiserv and MGIC systems in a seamless, two-way data exchange that does not even require easyLENDER users to open a separate browser window -- in fact, the easyLENDER user never leaves easyLENDER to complete the MI transaction.

"This integration between MGIC and easyLENDER is a great example of the value of MISMO compliance," said Ron Duff, Fiserv Lending Solutions' Senior Vice President of Information Technology, easyLENDER Products. "Mortgage lenders that use easyLENDER Mortgage will benefit from the improved efficiency that results when technology providers create MISMO-compliant products. That's because the MISMO MI standards enable trading partners to send and receive data without the overhead associated with creating customized, point-to-point interfaces."

Key data points for the MI request come from easyLENDER, and the MI data returned by MGIC is automatically entered into the appropriate easyLENDER data fields. In addition, the commitment certificate is attached to the loan as a PDF document that can be accessed by the easyLENDER user whenever needed.

This simplified, fully automated, two-way data transfer between MGIC and Fiserv eliminates redundant data entry and improves the speed and accuracy of the mortgage transaction. And if loan information changes and needs to be resubmitted, the affected data fields are automatically updated and a revised commitment certificate is attached to the loan.

"easyLENDER clients appreciate the ability to select from a wide range of service providers," said Dan Welbaum, Fiserv Lending Solutions' Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, easyLENDER Products. "Now that MGIC has linked its MISMO-compliant MI offering to easyLENDER Mortgage, our easyLENDER clients can take advantage of an industry-leading MI solution that enhances their ability to quickly meet their customers' needs."
