Informative Research
“Can a mortgage data and verification platform eliminate lender inefficiency by orchestrating credit and income data from 10+ sources through intelligent, rules-based workflows?”
Founded in 1946 as a credit data and reporting firm for mortgage lenders, Informative Research evolved into a full mortgage technology solutions provider covering credit, verification (VOE/VOI/VOA, IRS income), and data access across 10 sources. The company was acquired by Stewart Information Services Corporation, operating as a subsidiary under Stewart's GLBA-regulated privacy umbrella. Its embedded finance angle is the data-and-decisioning layer it provides to mortgage lenders — specifically smart waterfall/rules-based verification orchestration and credit spend optimization rather than capital markets or consumer banking products.
