Press Release

Waltham , Mass. – Sept. 19, 2007 - Just four business days after the Federal Reserve Board issued its 2006 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, through its PCi line of compliance analytics solutions, began delivering the company’s 2006 Peer Mortgage Data to lenders.

The experts behind Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ PCi compliance analytics solutions compile the raw data released by the Federal Reserve Board and redistribute it via the Peer Mortgage Data to customers online and through the company’s CRA Wiz and Fair Lending Wiz software solutions to help them better understand market dynamics.

The information within the company’s Peer Mortgage Data can help lenders set benchmarks against their peers' performance in terms of compliance with fair lending and anti-predatory lending requirements, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and pricing patterns. But perhaps more importantly, the data can also help lenders identify new business opportunities such as emerging and underserved markets.

“The annual release of the Peer Mortgage Data is highly anticipated in the market, particularly when the data holds the key to better understanding complicated market dynamics. Our solutions help customers identify new areas of opportunity as well as contextualize their past performance. This offers a great competitive advantage for our customers," said Raffi Festekjian, chief executive officer, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ PCi compliance analytics solutions.

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ 2006 Peer Mortgage Data draws attention to several critical aspects of the Federal Reserve Board’s HMDA data report, including:

• Disparities Across Racial Groups - The Federal Reserve Board found that minorities, particularly blacks and Hispanics, comprise significantly higher percentage of borrowers paying high-cost loans as compared to whites. This was found to be true even when comparing for the borrower-related factors, such as loan amount and location, and lender-related factors, such as loan programs, present in the HMDA data.

• Delinquency Rates - The Federal Reserve Board found a strong correlation between the number of high-cost loans in a given area and the rate of delinquency. The data suggests that these delinquencies are a growing problem and this correlation will likely be more pronounced in next year’s data.

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services is distributing its 2006 Peer Mortgage Data to customers directly and also making it available to them through a Web-based HMDA data dashboard which illustrates market share analysis, lending dispositions, pricing comparisons and high-cost loans assessments for all lenders and geographies.
