ICE Launches Fraud Monitor to Help Mortgage Lenders Identify Fraud Risk and Advance Underwriting

Fraud Monitor

Intercontinental Exchange announced a brand new mortgage tool today. Lenders can now use the ICE Fraud Monitor to identify loan risks quickly. This new mortgage solution delivers advanced risk scoring directly to users. It also provides detailed property data reports. Lenders can access automated condition clearing right inside their normal workflow.

The software connects seamlessly with the Encompass loan origination system. The integration ensures that all property information is integrated into one easy-to-use dashboard. No longer do the underwriters have to jump from one vendor portal to another. Rather, they can simply click on certain fraud categories. This action reveals the underlying data sources and supporting documentation.

Configurable automation updates the Encompass system instantly. It clears specific conditions based on user exceptions. This system speeds up the overall file review process.

Bob Hart, President of Mortgage Technology at ICE, discussed the challenges that lenders face.

“Fraud reviews are often fragmented and highly manual, creating bottlenecks in the underwriting process and contributing to condition fatigue among lenders. Fraud Monitor helps simplify that process by bringing fraud detection, condition management, and supporting documentation into a unified workflow within Encompass. By automating portions of the review process and giving underwriters faster access to detailed reports, they can identify and resolve potential fraud risks more efficiently while keeping loans moving through the pipeline.”

Enhancing Mortgage Risk Detection

The new Fraud Monitor includes continuous monitoring capabilities. Lenders can customize their compliance workflows easily. The platform combines multiple data streams. It uses ICE SiteXPro property records. It also checks credit data and employment validation sources. The system checks exclusionary lists and watchlists, too.

Furthermore, the platform keeps a complete audit trail. It uses automated recordkeeping and user-level permissions. Every single condition clearance receives a precise time stamp. This process ensures compliance-ready reporting for the business.
