VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LoanCare announced today that its primary servicer and specialty subservicer ratings have been upgraded by Fitch Ratings. The primary servicer rating for prime product has been upgraded to 'RPS2' from 'RPS2-' and the specialty subservicer rating has been upgraded to 'RPS2' from 'RPS2-' – both with a stable outlook.

Fitch cites LoanCare's "enhanced risk management controls, continued investments in systems, staffing, recruitment, and technology, and its well managed growth." The ratings also reflect the financial strength of LoanCare's ultimate parent company, Fidelity National Financial, Inc., rated 'BBB+' Outlook Stable by Fitch on Nov. 20, 2017.

Fitch also acknowledged LoanCare's experienced management team, strong portfolio growth by doubling its loan portfolio in the past two years, the enhancements to its corporate governance framework including the creation of a seven-member internal audit team led by Karen Bell, and continued performance in the light of increasing costs related to regulatory guidelines and changes.
