MUFG Union Bank Agrees to Implement Black Knight's LoanSphere Data Hub for Actionable Insight Into Its Business

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: BKFS), a leading provider of integrated technology, data and analytics to the mortgage and real estate industries, announced today that MUFG Union Bank, one of the world's leading financial groups, has agreed to implement Black Knight's LoanSphere Data Hub to provide broader and deeper insight into the bank's mortgage portfolio to help reduce operational risk and improve efficiency.

"We are excited about further expanding our relationship with Black Knight and taking advantage of the multiple opportunities our business will receive by incorporating the Data Hub into our company's data strategy," said Jim Francis, head of Consumer Lending for MUFG Union Bank. "By centralizing our data and then leveraging new capabilities, we will create deeper levels of information into our operations to gain greater insight."

As an example, Data Hub can help clients identify when a bank customer's home is put on the market and automatically notify the call center or loan officer of that potential lead through the lender's sales management system. Data Hub can also be used to alert servicers when a loan in their portfolio is approaching critical dates, based on regulatory directives and client configurations, so appropriate action can be taken before the deadline has passed.

"There are tremendous opportunities for Black Knight to transform raw data into important and actionable insights, helping our clients to proactively prevent risk, generate new business and increase efficiencies," said Jerry Halbrook, president of Black Knight's Origination Technologies and Enterprise Business Intelligence divisions. "We are looking forward to further supporting MUFG Union Bank's business goals with the comprehensive, trusted data and actionable insights that Black Knight's Data Hub will provide."

Black Knight's LoanSphere Data Hub went into production at a top-10 lender/servicer at the end of 2016.
