Ellie Mae Announces HMDA Readiness Initiatives

Ellie Mae® (NYSE:ELLI), a leading provider of innovative on-demand software solutions and services for the residential mortgage industry, announced today a complete offering of readiness initiatives in advance of the 2018 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and Regulation C (HMDA) collection and reporting changes. With the release of Encompass 17.2, lenders now have access to begin testing their updated processes for compliance with the upcoming changes in reporting. In addition to enhancements to Ellie Mae’s Encompass all-in-one mortgage management solution, Ellie Mae is offering a number of tools and resources to help clients prepare and train internal teams.

HMDA and Regulation C were created and implemented to require public disclosure of information that illustrates whether or not mortgage lenders are serving the housing needs of their local communities. This information helps public officials better distribute public-sector investments so they attract private investments to areas where it’s needed the most. Just as important, they mandate data collection and disclosure on application and borrower characteristics to help pinpoint potentially discriminatory lending practices for further review.

“As the industry leader in mortgage compliance, we’re taking the lead in implementing and delivering solutions for lenders in support of the regulations impacting their business,” said Joe Tyrrell, executive vice president of corporate strategy at Ellie Mae. “In advance of the 2018 HMDA changes, Ellie Mae is providing the technology, information and resources for our banks, credit unions and lenders to ensure that they have time to educate and prepare.”

The following offerings are available:

Encompass 17.2 Enhancements: Announced earlier today, Encompass 17.2 enables collection of the new data set required for loans with a final disposition in 2018 and beyond in a single system of record. A HMDA LAR Loan Application Register) compliant with the new guidelines published in the CFPB rule is featured in the solution, as well as substantial automation to reduce lender processing time and risk in creating their reports. Also included is the optional expanded Demographic Information Addendum.
