Chase Reviews Mortgage Servicing Platform

Chase seeks upgraded system to replace multiple legacy platforms for $515 billion portfolio

CHICAGO and BROOKFIELD, Wis., Nov. 18, 2005 – Chase has selected Fiserv’s mortgage servicing platform, MortgageServ, to complete a formal due diligence to replace and substantially upgrade multiple legacy platforms for servicing its $515 billion portfolio, the companies announced today.

“We plan to consolidate and upgrade our platform to help grow our mortgage business,” said Scott Powell, head of servicing at Chase. “We continue to invest in this core business.”

Last month, Chase announced that it planned to add 800 mortgage officers – an increase of 30 percent – over the next year.

“MortgageServ would give Chase not only excellent support for all its mortgage products, but it also will provide the flexibility to roll out new products quickly to meet customer needs,” said Leslie M. Muma, Fiserv president and CEO. “Chase would be able to integrate delinquency and default management into its core servicing system.”

An industry leader, Chase offers a comprehensive range of home finance products and services to meet customer needs. It originated $144.6 billion in mortgage loans and $42.2 billion in home equity lines and loans in 2004, ranking it among the largest mortgage originators in the country. It also purchases servicing rights to mortgage portfolios.
