JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: BKFS) has made significant updates to LoanSphere MSP, its industry-leading loan servicing platform, to help clients meet Fannie Mae's changes to the investor reporting process that went into effect Feb. 1, 2017. The changes eliminated the Single-Family mortgage-backed security (MBS) "call-in" requirement for monthly pool balance reporting, and changed the loan-level reporting for all loans from a monthly to a daily reporting cycle. Fannie Mae's updates to its investor reporting process also included changes to loan activity report timing and delivery. The investor reporting changes affected more than 11.5 million Fannie Mae loans being serviced on the MSP system for 61 financial institution clients.
Black Knight's MSP servicing system is a complete, scalable, end-to-end system used by a majority of the nation's largest financial institutions to manage all servicing processes on a single, comprehensive platform, including loan setup and maintenance, payment processing, escrow administration, investor reporting, regulatory requirements, default management and more. Black Knight worked with its clients to test the new MSP Call-in Elimination enhancement, which went into production by the effective date of the new rule.
To support this major servicing system update, Black Knight developed a variety of educational resources and professional services offerings to help servicers prepare for MSP's new functionality, which include:
- Documentation on the Call-in Elimination enhancement
- Information and checklists for pre-implementation, implementation and migration activities
- Educational webinars and white papers
- Computer-based training courses
Black Knight's online educational resources are supplemented by the experienced consultants on its Servicing Technologies Professional Services team, which is assisting clients with the MSP Call-in Elimination enhancement.
"Fannie Mae's elimination of the MBS call-in requirement will simplify servicer policies and procedures, and the new investor reporting changes reflect industry-standard best practices for accurate and timely security balance processing," said Joe Nackashi, president, Black Knight Servicing Technologies division. "Black Knight continues to support innovation through sizable investments in the MSP servicing system and to use our leading fintech capabilities to help our servicer clients save time and effort, while supporting their efforts to stay compliant."
