from Harland Financial Solutions


LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Jan. 19, 2006 - QuestSoft, a provider of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) compliance solutions and geocoding services , announced today the company is strengthening its alliance with Lake Mary, Fla.-based Harland Financial Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of John H. Harland Company (NYSE:JH) . The newest interface to be added to Harland Financial Solutions' suite of loan origination solutions integrates QuestSoft's HMDA RELIEF and CRA RELIEF software packages into financial.center ® , a Web-based loan origination software program.

This interface enables customers to seamlessly transfer data, automating the compliance process for regulations governing both the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Users of financial.center can utilize the integrated platform to originate loans and manage borrower data more efficiently, while checking the compliance status of loans against the latest HMDA and CRA requirements. The interface also increases efficiency and profitability for mortgage lenders by decreasing the time needed to make and close loans.

“We formed our alliance with QuestSoft to offer financial.center customers a tool for simplifying their HMDA and CRA compliance processes,” said Bob DeLay, director, Lending Systems Product Development for Harland Financial Solutions. “This integration helps meet lenders' demands for an enhanced level of compliance, which enables staff to maintain their focus on boosting profitability.”

financial.center is a browser-based loan and deposit account origination suite. Its interface with QuestSoft allows users to instantly import names, property addresses, and up-to-date HMDA data. Users may create more than 30 graphically detailed analysis reports while automatically checking and correcting dozens of common HMDA errors. The integrated solution provides a faster reporting process, which could save users up to 90 percent of the time it takes to manually prepare HMDA reports.

“With this interface, Harland Financial Solutions' customers have full access to a variety of compliance tools without having to worry about additional entry errors or installation issues,” said Leonard Ryan, president of QuestSoft. “Combining financial.center with HMDA RELIEF and CRA RELIEF further streamlines the origination process – reducing errors and improving compliance.”
