Altisource Launches Enhanced Vendor Oversight Platform to the Market

LUXEMBOURG -- (Marketwired) -- 05/04/17 -- Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. ("Altisource") (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider of real estate, mortgage and technology services, today announced the expansion of the Vendorly™ platform, an innovative vendor oversight platform for financial institutions. The platform launched last year exclusively for members of the Lenders One^® Cooperative, a national alliance of independent mortgage bankers, and is now available to the broader mortgage and community bankers market outside of the Lenders One network. The Vendorly platform is designed to help streamline vendor due diligence, document maintenance, monitoring and audits.

The scrutiny of vendor oversight practices continues to be a focus of regulators. It's important for mortgage and community bankers to have a multifaceted vendor oversight program. Through the Vendorly platform, and its vendor oversight offerings, Vendorly can help strengthen its customers' compliance management framework and increase their operational efficiencies. Vendorly offers managed vendor oversight services, including due diligence, document management, annual assessments, information security assessments, financial condition reviews and on-site audits.

Vendorly is announcing collaboration with Secure Insight, an innovator in the mortgage industry in providing settlement agent risk evaluation, rating, monitoring and database reporting on fully vetted mortgage closing professionals. Currently servicing close to 100 clients nationwide, Secure Insight will deliver real-time risk ratings and related settlement agent data to clients through the Vendorly platform. Together, Secure Insight and Vendorly intend to develop a platform that produces a transaction-based tool with risk data on each transaction prior to a closing (and just before the proceeds are wired). It is expected that this process will provide data in a more efficient, streamlined manner and give lenders greater comfort in the protection of their money, documents and consumer data at each closing.

"Our relationship with Secure Insight allows us to leverage their deep expertise in settlement agent oversight and industry-leading database of over 50,000 vetted and rated agents, which has been a decade in the making," said Jim Vaca, vice president, Vendorly. "With Vendorly, we've developed an easy-to-use platform for delivering stronger vendor management across all vendor types. Since our initial launch, we've provided our Vendorly solution to more than 50 customers, whose direct feedback helped shape the technology we are offering today. Leveraging Altisource's technology and industry expertise has enabled us to help bring efficiency to our clients' vendor management processes."

"We have always recognized that lenders are seeking a complete solution for vendor management, one that encompasses the different areas of risk and the various vendors that make up the universe of third parties with whom lenders conduct business," said Andrew Liput, president and chief executive officer, Secure Insight. "We are excited to combine our specific expertise in settlement agent oversight with Vendorly's oversight services, uniting our efforts to develop an integrated solution that will deliver our risk data on a transaction basis for greater loan efficiency and operational security at the closing table."
