  • 3/7/2024: BSI Financial Services, Bizzy Labs Unveil Breakthrough in Loan Boarding Automation

    Irving, Texas 3/7/2024 – BSI Financial Services, a leading mortgage fintech platform, and its affiliate, Bizzy Labs, announced a major enhancement to Bizzy Labs’ compliance technology, Libretto, that further streamlines and automates the loan boarding process, particularly for MSR acquisitions. Libretto now integrates business rules with automated workflows to minimize risk when MSR clients are boarding newly acquired loans on their servicing systems.


    Leveraging AI, optical character recognition (OCR) and workflow automation tools, Libretto integrates with various data sources—such as the Uniform Loan Deliver Dataset (ULDD), data tapes and document images—and automatically compares and verifies extracted data to improve speed, accuracy, and compliance in the loan boarding process. If any issues are detected, Libretto automatically reaches out to prior servicers to fix the errors in the data tape or document images and keeps the process of onboarding loans onto the Sagent LoanServe servicing platform moving forward. BSI leverages Sagent’s cloud-based servicing platform as its system of record.


    The enhancement incorporates dozens of business rules that check for common errors and discrepancies in the loan boarding process. It also provides end-to-end reporting that gives all internal business and compliance stakeholders, including prior servicers, the ability to monitor status updates and loan boarding issues and deliver accurate results almost instantaneously.


    “Our latest enhancement to Libretto leverages generative AI capabilities to provide the fastest and most accurate loan data boarding available in the industry,” said Gagan Sharma, founder and CEO of both BSI Financial Services and Bizzy Labs. “This upgrade perfectly illustrates our commitment to improving loan performance and profitability for our MSR acquisition clients.”


    “I’m excited that we’ve achieved this milestone and see broader uses beyond the boarding phase,” said Anwar Ali, product manager lead at BSI Financial. “Libretto’s ability to scan for compliance risks and deadlines using an entire library of compliance and business rule sets is second to none.”


    BSI Financial Services is committed to opening its technology to business and compliance partners, regulatory agencies, and other service providers so they can build their own solutions on top of BSI’s technology platform.


    “Through collaboration and integration with open-source technologies, we will continue to evolve and build our platform as a foundation for bringing efficiency and accuracy to our industry stakeholders,” said Sharma.

  • 3/5/2021 | Startup Bizzy Labs Forms Advisory Council to Guide Development of Regtech that Mitigates Noncompliance Risk

    Irving, Texas 3/5/2021 – Bizzy Labs, a regtech company that uses a big data approach to perfect mortgage loan files during loan boarding and throughout the life of servicing, announces the formation of an Advisory Council to help guide the development of its service offerings that address regulatory compliance.

    "We are pleased to announce the formation of our Advisory Council at this critical stage in our industry's evolution," said Sharma.

The Advisory Council will enable Bizzy Labs to develop technology that shines a bright light on compliance risk."

    Libretto, Bizzy Labs' flagship application, enhances the coverage and quality of compliance through a data-driven automated approach to detect data anomalies in loan files. Libretto produces a daily checklist of loan improvement actions that can be managed using its online workflows or exported into the client’s systems.

  • 10/10/2020 | Sagent & Bizzy Labs Regtech Deal Delivers Automated Compliance & Customer Care for Mortgage Servicers

    KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – November 10, 2020 – Sagent, a fintech company modernizing mortgage and consumer loan servicing for America’s top banks and lenders, today announced a regtech partnership with Bizzy Labs to automate compliance, lower operational costs, and improve borrower experience for servicers.

    Sagent and Bizzy will jointly offer Libretto, an AI-powered compliance engine that ensures fast, accurate servicing onboarding, then continually scans portfolios to identify and fix data anomalies using over 600 business rules from regulators, investors, and top servicers. This reduces compliance risk, increases loan valuations, and ensures customer happiness.

    “This new automated compliance engine accelerates Sagent’s consumer-first modernization of mortgage servicing,” said David Doyle, EVP of Business Development at Sagent. “Clean onboarding and continuous portfolio surveillance mean fewer errors and happier customers. Servicer errors can erode profitability, rattle customers, and lower retention. Sagent’s Bizzy Labs partnership ensures servicers get the experience right for their customers and their bottom line.”

    Servicer profitability can further erode when compliance costs rise as COVID-caused forbearances mature into loss mitigation scenarios. Most costs are from adding audit/QC teams to monitor portfolios and adding customer service teams to handle increased error inquiries. This compounds when regulations tighten with political cycles, so AI-powered compliance is the right servicer solution at the right time as it can power an increase in loans serviced per employee (LPE) by as much as 30%.

    “We’ve been refining our AI to solve data integrity issues for the last nine years as a prominent servicer/subservicer,” said Gagan Sharma, CEO of both Bizzy Labs and servicer/subservicer BSI. “The result is Libretto, a digital approach to loan file perfection that’s reduced error rates by 80% and borrower complaints by 50%. It runs 600+ investor and regulator rules on portfolios to deliver precise, department-specific checklists for resolving customer loan issues daily.”

    After Sharma’s team refined Libretto using BSI’s own portfolio plus portfolios they service for lenders throughout the U.S., they spun off Bizzy Labs as an independent big data regtech company to serve America’s top servicers and investors.

    Partnering with Sagent makes Bizzy’s cloud-based Libretto immediately available for the millions of loans Sagent powers for servicers, and its full APIs make it easy to integrate to all platforms.
