GFS Is First LOS Company to be MXCompliance Certified

Brentwood, TN - Gallagher Financial Systems, Inc. is the first loan-origination software (LOS) company to be MISMO XML Compliance (MXCompliance) certified for credit reporting by MISMO. MISMO, a not-for-profit subsidiary of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), announced that a total of three companies, Gallagher Financial Systems, Bixby Consulting, and Fair Isaac Corporation, recently completed the certification process for MXCompliance. Fair Isaac Corporation is a provider of decision management software for the credit reporting industry. Bixby Consulting operates in conjunction with e Here Now, a provider of data transformation software for the mortgage credit industry.

MISMO offers three types of MXCompliance services: Verification, Import, and Export. Verification is a service for businesses interested in purchasing Certified Products. This service ensures that a vendor's delivered products are identical to those that were previously MXCompliance certified. The Import and Export services are used by applicants seeking certification of their products that read or write MISMO standards. Gallagher Financial Systems was awarded MXCompliance certification for Credit Response v2.1.1 and Credit Request v2.1.1.

"MISMO has become an important part of our business processes," said Greg Alvord, Knowledge Architect for Gallagher Financial Systems, Chairman of MISMO's Core Structures Work Group, and elected member of the MISMO Governance Committee. "Most inquiries we get from lenders include a reference to MISMO compliance. The problem has been that there was no way for a lender to validate the claim of 'MISMO Compliance' between venders. We are proud to be the first LOS with a legitimate MXCompliance certification. We intend to certify the remainder of the Credit versions and to certify with the mortgage insurance facilities that MXCompliance brought on line last week. As the other MISMO work groups provide certification information to MXCompliance, you can expect that GFS will be among the leaders in receiving certification."
