Commercial Federal Bank Begins Rollout of Dorado Wholesale Point-of-Sale Solutions to Broker Network

Dorado Wholesale Point-of-Sale Solution Integrates with UniFi PRO Mortgage LOS, Streamlines Loan Submission and Cuts Loan Submit Time from Days to Minutes

San Mateo, Calif.—October 25, 2004—Dorado Corporation, the leader in mission-critical, on-demand solutions for home lending, today announced that Commercial Federal Bank has begun rollout of the Dorado wholesale point-of-sale solution to its network of 800 brokers and correspondent banks nationwide. The Dorado solution integrates with the UniFi® PRO Mortgage loan origination solution from Fiserv® (NASDAQ: FISV) to provide a significantly streamlined loan submission process, enabling Commercial Federal brokers to register a loan, select a product, lock the loan, submit it, and track status, all at the point of sale. By automating these processes, Dorado will cut loan submission time for Commercial Federal from days to minutes.

“Our goal was to create a more flexible and scalable solution for our wholesale channel that would enable us to meet aggressive growth objectives,” said First Vice President Rhonda Humpal, Commercial Federal Bank. “The Dorado solution not only accomplishes this goal, it virtually eliminates manual loan submission processes, saving us and our brokers time and money, and enabling us to provide better service to our customers.”

According to Humpal, the Dorado wholesale point-of-sale solution is part of Commercial Federal’s long-term strategy to create a more open Web services-based foundation for its IT systems. The Dorado solution integrates with Commercial Federal’s implementation of UniFi® PRO Mortgage loan origination system (LOS) via the PRO Link Plus application programming interface (API), both from Fiserv Lending Solutions, and Dorado’s .MOR™ integration server. Together, Dorado and Fiserv UniFi PRO Mortgage provide Commercial Federal with an end-to-end, Web-services-based mortgage loan origination solution—the most comprehensive and flexible LOS currently available.

The Dorado wholesale solution comprises Dorado ChannelMaster® and Dorado .MOR™. ChannelMaster is a mission-critical, on-demand enterprise software solution for multi-channel home loan marketing, origination and processing. ChannelMaster facilitates communication and improves productivity by tightly integrating all participants in the mortgage process—borrowers, brokers, loan officers, and operations personnel—via secure, personalized Web sites. Built on the Dorado .MOR Web Services platform, both products leverage industry standards and protocols to make integration with LOS and POS systems and external services fast to build, easy to maintain, and cost-effective to add.

“Commercial Federal is a wonderful example of how Dorado can help emerging top-tier lenders evolve and grow their businesses cost-effectively,” said Dain Ehring, CEO, Dorado Corporation. “By integrating Dorado solutions into a lender’s existing system, like Fiserv UniFi PRO Mortgage, we can help them improve competitiveness while maximizing investment in their existing infrastructure.”
