/PRNewswire/ —

Black Knight, Inc.

(NYSE:BKI) announced today that

KeyBank

, one of the nation’s largest bank-based financial services companies, has successfully transferred its home equity portfolio onto the industry-leading Black Knight MSP servicing system, where its first mortgage loan portfolio is currently being serviced. Using a single, integrated servicing platform for first mortgages and home equity loans, KeyBank will be able to streamline its operations, and compliance and reporting requirements, while enhancing the customer experience.

“Adding KeyBank’s home equity loan portfolio to the MSP system to maximize operational efficiency was an easy choice, given our satisfaction with this innovative platform for our first mortgage portfolio,” said

Dominic Cugini

, SVP Automation, Lending Servicing & Default Transformation, KeyBank. “The project remained on track, even with the teams working from home, and we look forward to continuing our successful working relationship with Black Knight.”

MSP is used by financial institutions to service approximately 36 million active loans – more than any other in the mortgage industry. The scalable system, which helps clients manage all servicing processes – from payment processing to escrow administration, customer service, default management and more – can accommodate virtually any size portfolio and includes award-winning client support services. By servicing its home equity loans and lines on the same MSP platform as its first mortgages, KeyBank will be able to increase operational efficiencies, improve risk management and deliver an enhanced experience to its customers.

KeyBank also uses several of Black Knight’s comprehensive and fully integrated solutions, including the Empower loan origination system, Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, Loss Mitigation, Invoicing, Actionable Intelligence Platform (AIP),

Lien Alert

and McDash standard reports.

Because the company leverages these core offerings, KeyBank is one of Black Knight’s enterprise clients. By gaining business process automation, workflow, rules, and integrated data throughout the loan process, Black Knight enterprise clients can help reduce risk, improve efficiency and drive financial performance.

“Both KeyBank and Black Knight teams delivered a flawless execution for this home equity loan portfolio implementation,” said

Joe Nackashi

, president of Black Knight’s Servicing Technologies division. “We value our close relationship with KeyBank and will continue to deliver advanced capabilities to help KeyBank’s teams originate and service loans as the bank’s business footprint expands.”
