Accenture has delivered credit services (pre-BPS, primarily ITS) for lenders since its start as a separate consulting firm. It has delivered individual credit BPS services since 2000, as requested by clients. Accenture committed to a permanent presence in credit BPS services, with series of acquisitions:
- Zenta: (November 2011) residential and commercial mortgage BPS vendor headquartered in the U.S. with 3.7k employees at the time of acquisition
- Mortgage Cadence: (August 2013) to utilize its loan origination platform and electronic document management solutions
- Vivere: (November 2013) a Brazilian software vendor to provide technology-enabled BPO for the Brazilian market
Accenture entered the M&L operations deliver because it believed that lenders would continue to struggle with legacy platforms and inefficient operations. It believes it can deliver integrated, scale operations more efficiently than the lenders. Also, it can scale licenses and comply with regulatory requirements faster than clients. Today, Accenture’s credit practice includes consulting, IT services, BPS, and software.
