Amegy Mortgage Company Implements Data Select’s CLCS Software

Another member of Zions Bancorporation improves operations with construction lending system

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--()--Data Select, the global provider of the CLCS software for commercial real estate banking, construction loan control and permanent loan servicing, now provides its technology to Houston-based Amegy Mortgage Company, a member of Zions Bancorporation since 2005.

CLCS services Amegy Mortgage’s construction loan portfolio, including one-time close construction and lot loans, to eliminate manual processes and greatly reduce risk associated with these loans. Six Zions Bancorporation member institutions already standardize their construction & commercial real estate lending administration using CLCS, including Amegy Bank of Texas, Zions First National Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank and Vectra Bank. The software enforces compliant practices, enabling the bank to continually meet new and/or changing regulatory requirements.

“For many years CLCS has been a vital component to Zions Bancorporation’s construction lending operations,” said Denver Green, vice president of commercial and construction loan systems for Zions Bancorporation, a $55.5 billion holding company. “We are pleased to add another member institution to the system. The efficiency gains afforded by CLCS will ensure Amegy Mortgage can optimize its commercial and construction lending processes and deliver the best possible customer service.”

Amegy Mortgage Company originates and services single family residential and construction loans as well as commercial and multifamily real estate loans. Established in 1972, the company currently has a servicing portfolio of more than $1.65 billion.

“Amegy Mortgage Company is one of the nation’s financial institutions leading the housing market’s positive momentum and turnaround,” said Phil Freeman, founder and CEO of Data Select. “Data Select is committed to helping banks across the U.S. apply the right technology to advance their residential, commercial and construction lending, translating to improved business and stronger economies.”

CLCS helps banks handle up to three times the number of loans at any given time, significantly increasing their revenue opportunities. The software’s robust foundation is fail-safe and continuously updated to help users achieve their business objectives and maintain regulatory compliance.
