ATLANTA, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX), a global information solutions company, today announced that it is working with Yodlee, a financial data aggregation and data analytics platform, to help simplify the mortgage loan process by making it easier for lenders to derive insights from borrowers' financial data.

This collaboration provides Equifax with access to real-time asset and income information on prospective customers who have granted permission and helps streamline loan production, reduce fraud exposure in the application process, and give banks, loan originators and lenders additional tools to assess risks in underwriting and portfolio management.

"Changing buyer behaviors, as well as advanced data and insights, are transforming the lending industry," said Craig Crabtree, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Equifax Mortgage Services.
