Flexible Payment Processing

Mar 09, 2017 Black Knight’s MSP servicing system is a complete, scalable, end-to-end system used by most of the nation’s largest financial institutions to manage all servicing processes on a single.

Flexibility is critical for loan servicers when posting complex financial transactions. With that in mind, FICS^® has created the most comprehensive set of tools allowing easy posting for many types of payments and fees.

When posting payments to loans, payment processors can choose a variety of payment application methods. Real-time transaction processing features handle:

• Payment and transaction reversals
• Late charges
• Adjustments
• Loss drafts
• Bankruptcy fees
• Miscellaneous insurance
• Pre- and post-petition bankruptcy payments
• Unapplied or suspense funds
• Interest-only payments
• Returned check charges

Batch payments. The option to process multiple payments in a single-batch job makes payment posting extremely quick and easy. Payments are posted in real-time, so there’s no waiting for nightly processing.

The Lockbox feature provides automatic payment processing from the file created by your lockbox vendor following your pre-established policies set for exception handling.

ACH Payment processing. Mortgage Servicer^® initiates automatic payment withdrawal for borrowers by creating a draft file in the NACHA (National Automated Clearing House Association) format. This file may be submitted directly to the Federal Reserve or through a correspondent bank.

Msp Mortgage Servicing Platform

Mortgage Servicer^® users experience the highest level of escrow administration automation found in any servicing system. Previously hard to automate odd due dates and unequal frequency due dates are easily accommodated in Mortgage Servicer^®.

Escrow analysis. Would you like to perform escrow analysis for an individual loan or a group of loans? Mortgage Servicer^® takes care of both and conforms to applicable RESPA guidelines. The system allows you to select your options for the collection and spread of shortages and deficiencies, while also producing checks for overages based on your RESPA compliant guidelines. Initial, annual and payoff disclosure statements can be generated as desired. And when your borrowers call to inquire about their analysis, simply click, and you’ll have instant access to the most recent analysis right on the screen. You can even access all previous years’ analysis statements using Radstar^®. Analyzing escrows has never been more accurate and more efficient.
