Fiserv Inc. and Monetrics announced plans to develop a joint

interface, tying the

Monetrics Decision Engine to portfolio management software from

Fiserv LeMans. The companies say the combination will enhance Fiserv

LeMans’ existing credit scoring capabilities to

provide an integrated, comprehensive analysis of a

borrower’s total default risk.

"The partnership between Monetrics and Fiserv LeMans

will deliver the technology to automate and expedite

the credit underwriting and credit decision processes,

including optimizing portfolio collections

management," said Kevin Collins, president and chief

executive officer of Fiserv LeMans. "Clients of both

companies will benefit from this new portfolio

management tool."

About Monetrics Technology

Monetrics Decision Engine technology utilizes patent

pending ‘relational decisioning’ that it says

increases the automation rate. The technology emulates

the human decision-making process and enables

loan approvals for applications without

sacrificing automation. This new technology will

permit Fiserv LeMans clients to evaluate and analyze

multiple risk factors consistently in every loan

application decision, according to the company.

About Fiserv Technology

Through its VehicleLinQ product suite, Fiserv LeMans says it

provides an integrated set of solutions for

automotive finance, from contract origination through

termination and resale. Its Credit Processing System

(CPS) is the gateway to the VehicleLinQ solution,

automating the front-end process from application

entry to discounting. According to the company, using CPS and the other

VehicleLinQ components, organizations can manage a

portfolio from credit processing and booking to

collections, including customer service, title

management, inventory tracking, auction sales,

collection of end of term and credit loss recoveries.

The systems include management-defined queuing

capabilities and enable universal memos (memos are

stored in one location and are available to all

systems) for retail, lease and balloon note accounts.
