Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions announced that it has launched its OmniVault for Real Estate Finance solution.
OmniVault for Real Estate Finance uses the company’s eVault technology to support digital home equity lending, both HELOCs and home equity loans, in addition to already supported conventional, U.S. government and jumbo first mortgages.
Wolters Kluwer’s technology enables institutions to originate digital HELOCs as a Digital Original®, rather than just a PDF or a paper document.
When a HELOC is created within the OmniVault for Real Estate Finance offering, it establishes the Digital Original® of the HELOC, ensuring verifiable ownership and control, and enabling the sale, transferability, pledging, syndication and securitization of these digital assets.
The offering includes a digitally sealed audit trail providing an irrefutable chain of custody and evidence for the digital assets.
Wolters Kluwer’s proprietary technology has been around for over 20 years and supports both Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems (MERS®) and non-MERS® eRegistry transactions.
Like Wolters Kluwer mortgage eNotes, digital HELOCs can be stored, managed and easily transferred in and out of an eVault on a single platform.
The OmniVault Real Estate Finance solution provides clients with the same user experience and visibility across all asset classes.
With Wolters Kluwer’s Rapid Deployment Solution (RDS), lenders can be using its platform for HELOCs within two weeks.
Steven Meirink, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions said,
“Being able to offer digital HELOCs will help lenders differentiate their customer experience, while our OmniVault will give institutions simple, consistent ways to originate and manage digital real estate assets across their organizations.
Many of the largest financial institutions are already Wolters Kluwer eOriginal clients, so leveraging OmniVault by adding digital HELOCs can easily be done under their current MSAs.”
Simon Moir, Vice President and Segment Leader, GRC Banking Compliance, Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions, added:
“Today, most HELOCs are held on balance sheets, but there are early signs that a secondary market is developing for these products. If this comes to fruition, the ability to quickly move digital assets to investors or into securities will take on greater importance.
Wolters Kluwer’s technology has already been used in more than 456 Asset Backed Securities (ABS) securitizations valued at over $164 billion and is firmly embedded in the ABS and Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) ecosystems.”
