KeyStoneB2B, the fintech solution that delivers competitive advantages for financial services leaders, announced new flood zone determination services through an expansive network of providers. KeyStoneB2B simplifies loan origination for mortgage lenders by identifying the highest quality, most reliable ancillary products, including flood determination providers with advanced pricing capabilities, the company announced in a press release.
“According to the National Flood Insurance Program, even a few inches of water from a flood can result in tens of thousands of dollars in damage,” KeyStoneB2B Chief Information and Chief technology Officer James V. Luisi said in the release. “That’s the reason mortgage lenders are often required to acquire life of loan flood protection to protect the noteholder of the mortgage. Our suite of services includes full integration with leading providers including flood determination dispute processing capabilities, with a goal of accelerating the flood determination process.
“We support mortgage lenders by reducing risk, enhancing compliance and increasing operational efficiencies, as well as performance. One valuable differentiator is our ability to separate flood orders that are satisfied instantly using automation at deep discounts versus the small percentage that require manual support,” Luisi added.
KeyStoneB2B partners with flood zone determination providers to offer state-of-the-art mapping, convenient reporting options, and dependable determinations. Advanced technology enables KeyStoneB2B to provide timely and reliable flood zone determinations at loan origination. The system reliably tracks a property throughout the life of the loan, ensuring its status remains compliant with the mandatory purchase requirement, the company said.
“By integrating flood zone determination services directly with KeyStoneB2B, mortgage lenders and financial institutions can take advantage of the more accurate and seamless process for tracking and updating flood zone determinations,” KeyStoneB2B’s Sales, Marketing & Digital Strategist Morell Maison said. “Mortgage lenders and financial institutions save time and manage costs. And When FEMA flood maps change, automatic updates further reduce the risk of errors, delays, and costs associated with manual notifications. Lenders can automate life-of-loan flood zone tracking within the KeyStoneB2B system.”
