Security One Lending Expands Wholesale Lending Unit

Mike Mooney joins firm with team of top national account executives

San Diego, Calif., July 10, 2012—Security One Lending announced today that it is expanding its Wholesale Lending Unitwith the addition of new leadership and a production team of top account executives. Mike Mooney, formerly with MetLife’s Reverse Mortgage Wholesale business, has joined Security One as Senior Vice President and will lead the firm’s aggressive plans to grow market share in reverse mortgage wholesale lending by 2013.

In addition to Mooney, Kathy Hood, Derek Marks, Mark O’Neil, and John Burich—all previously reverse mortgage account executives at MetLife—have joined Security One’s production team. Each team member brings a respected book of business that will contribute to the existing Wholesale Lending Unit that Security One has built over the past three years.

“This move reinforces Security One’s commitment to top mortgage brokers around the country,” said Torrey Larsen, president and CEO of Security One. “Our combined team of brokers is best in class, offering not only a full suite of products and productivity tools, but also dedication to a hands-on approach with clients that ensures a high level of service.”

Security One has established an east coast site in Bloomfield, N.J. where the expanded production team will operate. The firm accelerated the approval process for brokers previously approved by MetLife in order to provide liquidity to the industry. In addition, brokerswill have access to expanded productivity tools and competitive price levels.

“The distribution of programs to the marketplace through a network of reputable Wholesale Partners is an important component of Security One’s growth plan,” added Larsen. “At the end of the day, we are here to help better the retirement of a growing number of older Americans. To do that, we need to be the best at what we do. The expansion of our Wholesale Lending Unit has positioned us to achieve these goals.”

This expanded business model also complements the Retail Franchise that has been established through Security One’s Consumer Direct and Distributed Retail business channels.

“Security One has created a great reputation in the wholesale space,” said Mooney. “The firm has been an innovator and quick to adapt to changes in today’s reverse mortgage market. Combined with a senior management team that I highly respect and trust, it was an easy decision to join Security One.”

Uniting these two powerful players within the mortgage industry will solidify Mortgage Cadence‚s stronghold as the industry‚s most complete, end-to-end technology provider on the market, capable of supporting the top 10 top banks and lending institutions along with the burgeoning credit union space, while also expanding market share in the community and regional bank arena.

Mortgage Cadence Acquires Prime Alliance SolutionsPrime Alliance and Mortgage Cadence share similar histories, culture and visions. The decision for Mortgage Cadence to acquire Prime Alliance was largely based on a shared passion to automate the mortgage process through rules and tasking, ultimately striving to achieve 100% compliant products. Dan Green, previous executive vice president of Prime Alliance who will assume the position of executive vice president of marketing for Mortgage Cadence said, „After our very first conversations with Mortgage Cadence, it was clear we share the same vision for the future of the mortgage lending industry. I expect to quickly combine our already strong companies together and create one brand and extensive product suite that continues to revolutionize the lending landscape by taking a manufacturing approach to the process and creating zero defect mortgages.‰

Historically, Mortgage Cadence has provided solutions to top lenders and large Credit Unions and has an outstanding track record of implementing Orchestrator® into some of the largest and most advanced financial institutions in the market. With credit unions at the center of Prime Alliance‚s customer base, Mortgage Cadence saw an opportunity to build off of Prime Alliance‚s superior technology and talented team to provide unrivalled solutions to credit unions and their members. Executive Vice President of Sales at Mortgage Cadence, Trevor Gauthier, stated, „I believe that we are combining two of the most innovative groups in the financial services space in an effort to provide the single best customer experience for lenders and consumers. We are already a formidable force in the market, and this transaction exponentially strengthens our position. No other company will have the available technology stack or industry experts that the new Mortgage Cadence brings to bear with the addition of Prime Alliance.‰

Currently, Prime+, Prime Alliance‚s comprehensive, all-inclusive lending solution has been successfully positioned within the credit union and regional lending space. Prime Alliance is acutely aware of the challenges facing lenders today and knows that exceeding their clients‚ expectations has been the key to their success. With the acquisition, Mortgage Cadence will be able to leverage Prime+ as a tried and true solution for this market segment, while also offering Prime Alliance‚s current customer base a migration pathway to Orchestrator‚s enterprise lending suit. Eliminating disparate systems in favor of one, paramount solution will only enable Prime Alliance‚s lenders to exceed customer satisfaction and drive down costs, all while ensuring compliance. „BECU, Prime Alliance‚s creator, and its board of directors, are proud of the Company‚s accomplishments and are eager to see its technology enhanced and its reach expanded. We want Prime Alliance to continue helping our customers remain the best-regarded mortgage lenders in the industry. Doing so requires a strong partner with similar aspirations and talents, and that partner is Mortgage Cadence‰ said Joe Brancucci, founder, chairman, and CEO of Prime Alliance Solutions, Inc.

Prime Alliance will retain its focus and its leadership while building on, and integrating, the two organizations‚ technologies. “Combining our two companies makes tremendous sense. Prime Alliance‚s technologies and ours mesh in ways that significantly benefit all customers, lenders and partners”, concluded Michael Detwiler, chief executive officer and chairman of Mortgage Cadence. “This is an exciting time for both organizations.
