Firms Offer Anti-Predatory Compliance Tech

Cogent Road Inc., San Diego, and ComplianceEase, San Francisco, have launched a new service that will offer Cogent Road's customers predatory lending and regulatory compliance auditing technology.The new product, PCAudit, is a fully automated pre- and post-close risk management system that audits individual loans or bulk portfolios against various criteria. Cogent Road's technology connects lenders to their third-party sources to provide "systematic audit control" on every wholesale origination before making a purchase, the companies said. "One of the most important challenges for lenders today is to understand the anti-predatory-lending and numerous other regulatory compliance initiatives like the USA Patriot Act and to understand the way in which they will impact their business," said David Girling, executive vice president of ComplianceEase, a division of LogicEase Solutions.
