Credit Plus Introduces Reps and Warranties Coverage Against Possible Defaults

Credit Plus has announced the availability of Reps and Warranties coverage for all of its verification services. The coverage allows customers to better defend their companies against the negative financial consequences of a possible loan default and the resulting repurchase requests. The firm has undergone a stringent review process to obtain certification of its processes and as a result, its customers are able to obtain the insured products. The insurance is underwritten by an insurer rated A by A.M. Best and A+ by Standard and Poor’s.

By offering insured products and extending the benefits of Reps and Warranties coverage to its customers, Credit Plus is acknowledging and responding to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) expectation that lenders are now ultimately responsible for practicing effective third-party risk management.

“While we are confident in the quality of our verification services, we are also a strong proponent of best practices,” said Greg Holmes, national director of sales and marketing at Credit Plus. “This coverage helps our customers better meet CFPB and OCC expectations and demonstrate the rigor with which they are managing third-party risk,” he added. “At the same time, this protection will give them greater assurance and peace of mind.”
