Together, the partners hope to protect financial institutions from the rapid increase in wire and title fraud in recent years.

Data security, payment risk and cybersecurity risks have become more pervasive in the banking space.

ProMerit and WLS are the industry’s leading warehouse lending technologies, centralizing all lending functions and allowing banks to efficiently manage, track, fund and secure repayments. The platforms easily integrate with LOSs and other third-party systems and automate tasks, reports and more. ProMerit is now SaaS-enabled, more secure than ever, and delivers updates and new features automatically.

“Wire fraud prevention is a key priority for SitusAMC clients, and with the rise in cyber-based threats and payment-related fraud our integration with FundingShield will allow for easily accessible risk management solutions to address these concerns,” said Rich Berg, SitusAMC’s Senior Director of Warehouse & Custodial Technology. “We are excited to deliver FundingShield’s industry leading wire fraud prevention solutions through SitusAMC’s leading warehouse lending technology.”
