Are there any fraud detection tools that handle identity verification and exception handling in mortgage underwriting?

Yes. There are fraud detection and underwriting platforms that cover both identity verification and exception handling for mortgage lending.

Common capabilities to look for:

• Identity verification / KYC

  • document verification
  • biometric or selfie match
  • SSN / phone / email / address checks
  • sanctions / OFAC screening
  • synthetic identity detection

• Mortgage fraud detection

  • income / employment verification
  • asset and bank account validation
  • property and occupancy risk checks
  • data inconsistency detection across loan docs and bureau data
  • risk scoring / anomaly detection

• Exception handling / workflow

  • configurable rules for flagging exceptions
  • case management queues
  • manual review and escalation
  • audit trails and decision logging
  • exception documentation for underwriting overlays

Examples of vendors/products in this space include:

• LexisNexis Risk Solutions
• Equifax mortgage/fraud and verification offerings
• Experian fraud and identity products
• Mitek
• Trulioo or Jumio for identity verification
• Sageworks / Abrigo for fraud and risk workflows
• Knoema / CoreLogic / Black Knight (ICE Mortgage Technology) for mortgage data and fraud/risk tools
• SentiLink for identity and synthetic fraud signals
• nCino or other LOS-adjacent workflow tools for exception management

If you want a solution specifically for mortgage underwriting, it’s usually best to choose a tool that integrates with the loan origination system (LOS) and offers:

1. identity verification,
2. fraud and anomaly scoring,
3. configurable underwriting exceptions,
4. case management/workflow.
