Key Findings & Highlights:

HCL has been involved in providing mortgage services since the early 1990s, providing flood mapping services to the American Flood Determination service provider. It entered the M&L BPO business in 2009, with a contract to provide loan origination services (LOS) underwriting support to a U.S. based Fortune 200 financial institution, with delivery provided from both onshore and offshore sites. Over time that relationship has grown to include a broader range of origination services spanning the mortgage fulfillment process and closing and post-closing services.

In 2010, HCL grew its M&L BPO business with the addition of a client in Australia which required support for collateral data remediation. The project required 200 FTEs over an 18 month period to remediate documents stored in Iron Mountain. Today, a remaining staff of 30 FTEs continues to provide document remediation and indexing services. Also, over the same period HCL added another U.S. based mortgage lender as a client to provide full underwriting support with approval/denial recommendations, with 20 underwriters, and certification from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and American Bankers Association (ABA). In 2011, a U.K. mortgage lender engaged HCL to provide legal process outsourcing (LPO), with 30 lawyers reviewing mortgage documentation.

Delivery Capabilities

HCL M&L BPO delivers service from four delivery centers:

  • Chennai
  • Noida
  • Cary, North Carolina
  • Sydney, Australia.

Target Markets

HCL's primary targets for M&L BPO are:

  • Tier one financial institutions based in the U.S., Europe, and Australia
  • Mid-tier regional banks
  • Pure play mortgage service providers with no operating presence offshore.

In future, HCL will continue to target market dominant financial institutions, but intends to add new markets and mid-tier lenders.

Strategic Direction

HCL has committed to growing its BPO business in 2014 and beyond, and financial services BPO is a key part of its BPO growth strategy. HCL has strong experience in M&L BPO but, like all M&L BPO vendors, it has struggled during the downturn, as have its clients. Today, HCL is prepared to accelerate the growth rate of its M&L BPO business by investing in its operations and expanding its scope of markets covered.
