AmTrust Bank Chooses KeyMark Inc For Document Capture Implementation

Source: KeyMark Inc.

AmTrust Bank recently announced they have selected KeyMark Inc to execute their latest technology implementation: a fully integrated document capture and classification system. AmTrust has consistently been acknowledged by Mortgage Technology Magazine for their use of technology in the mortgage lending industry. Most recently they were selected as one of the magazine's top 25 Tech-Savvy Lenders.

"We are very excited to embark on this relationship with KeyMark," said Jon K. Baymiller, Executive Vice President of AmTrust Bank. "This decision is consistent with our strategic direction to streamline business processes, shorten cycle times, and further reduce our loan acquisition costs by deploying smart technology solutions across all major aspects of the mortgage banking business."

In its nearly 120-year history, AmTrust has grown from a local savings and loan with an office in Cleveland, Ohio, to one of the 20 largest mortgage lenders in the country. As the preeminent leader in mortgage technology, AmTrust's e-Vision began in 1999 with the deployment of Gemstone, the bank's award-winning business-to-business website. Gemstone efficiently integrates most loan processes and offers the ultimate in control, speed and ease for the Correspondent/Broker. With KeyMark, a leader and innovator in document capture, management and workflow processes, AmTrust will have the ability to automatically identify and process mortgage loan documents as soon as they receive them. The KeyMark solution will improve efficiency, accuracy, reduce costs, and shorten the amount of time it takes to handle loan documents. Additionally, this technology will aid in mortgage fraud detection and prevention. KeyMark's solution incorporates Kofax's Advanced Capture technology for document classification and utilizes the Fujitsu 4099, 4097 and Kodak i610 scanners AmTrust already had for a fully automated end-to-end process.

" "This is a testament to AmTrust's strength," commented Ed McQuiston, KeyMark's VP of sales. "At a time when most banks are cutting spending, AmTrust is continuing its commitment to the progressive use of technology that will save them a significant amount of time and money associated with loan processing. This implementation will allow them to continue to grow their volumes, while avoiding hiring extra personnel as well as improving the speed and accuracy of their loan processing system. They will be servicing more customers more efficiently."
