The MISMO Software Compliance Certification Program provides assurance that a technology provider’s products demonstrate compliance with MISMO standards and best practices. The Premiere Level certification includes an assessment by an independent, MISMO-approved, third-party assessment company. This assessment evaluates the provider’s MISMO-related practices, product-specific usage of MISMO standards, and evidence of MISMO training. The program is open to any company that develops MISMO-base software, products or tools. Only products certified by MISMO may utilize the term “certified MISMO compliant” – a symbol of industry excellence.

About MISMO
The Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO) is the standards development organization for the residential and commercial finance industry. Today, MISMO standards are accepted and deployed by every type of entity involved in creating mortgages, and they are required by most regulators, housing agencies and GSEs that govern the exchange of information. Use of MISMO’s standards has been found to lower per loan costs, improve margins, reduce errors and speed up the loan process by reducing manual, paper-based processes. MISMO is managed by the Mortgage Bankers Association (“MBA”). For more information, visit www.mismo.org.
