WASHINGTON, DC-The Mortgage Bankers Association of America, through the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization, is in the process of developing technology standards for e-mortgages. In that effort, the MBA has hired Harry Gardner to manage MISMO’s e-mortgage development.

The MBA leads MISMO, which is comprised of MBA members, technology companies and industry groups such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. MISMO is a year and a half old and added work on e-mortgage standardization to its goal of addressing e-commerce issues in the mortgage industry in January of this year. There are now 120 people working on the project, which has been subdivided to focus on specific aspects of e-mortgage. Gardner will help oversee the entire effort.

“Because of the tremendous growth within the MISMO e-Mortgage work group,”says Gabe Minton, MBA senior director of industry technology, who overseesMISMO’s overall activities, “we felt it necessary to provide more managementoversight for this important technology area. Hiring Harry helps MBA maintain its leadership role in facilitating standardization for this pioneering new way of doing business.”
