IBM began working directly with mortgage and loan processing in 2006, with the acquisitions of:
- Palisades Technology Partners: mortgage technology
- iLOGS: business rule management.
IBM delivered mortgage processing technology products and services from 2006 to 2009, when it entered mortgage BPS with the acquisition of Wilshire Credit Corp., a subsidiary of Bank of America. Wilshire provided IBM with a mortgage servicing platform and ~900 FTEs to provide ITS and BPS services. Wilshire's BPS client was FNMA, the government agency that securitizes the mortgage loans it acquires from originators.
In 2011, IBM's mortgage BPS services were renamed Seterus. In mid-2016, IBM decided to retain and grow its mortgage BPS business as part of an ongoing restructuring of the business.
