“TrueStandings Securities represents a leaps-and-bounds enhancement to the old LPS suite,” said Jeff Klein, senior business analyst, secondary marketing, NC Capital Corp, the secondary marketing subsidiary of New Century Financial Corporation. “We’ve been able to integrate its powerful reporting and analysis capabilities easily into our process and the ability to create new reports literally on the fly with deep granularity makes it a real winner.”

“Introduction of the TrueStandings technology represents a robust response to our clients’ desire for a state-of-the-art information and access solution,” said Dan Feshbach, CEO and founder of LoanPerformance. “Over the next year, the TrueStandings technology will be expanded to include the entire LPS product suite, including LPS Prime, Subprime, and HELOC/Seconds.”

LoanPerformance will continue to support the LPS suite into the future for clients who wish to continue to receive the data in physical form, noted Feshbach.
