Minneapolis (January 3, 2014) -
Wolters Kluwer Financial
Services today announced it has acquired Financial
Tools, Inc., the provider of CASH Suite(TM)-an enterprise-wide
financial analysis and credit risk management solution for U.S.
commercial lenders.
The addition of Financial Tools enables Wolters Kluwer Financial
Services to provide U.S. community and regional banks and credit
unions with the ability to manage financial performance and grow
profitability with straight through processing across their
commercial loan origination, servicing and regulatory reporting
processes. Together, the two companies will build upon their shared
commercial lending and risk management expertise to help financial
institutions accelerate commercial loan origination, increase
efficiency in loan servicing and achieve regulatory compliance.
Commercial lending has emerged as one of the few business areas
in which financial institutions can grow revenue profitably in
today's marketplace. In the past two years, commercial loans held
by FDIC-insured financial institutions increased by $330 billion.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity presents institutions
with numerous challenges, including higher transaction volumes and
narrower margins, fewer in-house resources and intensified
regulatory scrutiny.
"The addition of Financial Tools enables us to offer commercial
lenders the comprehensive solutions they need to drive commercial
lending growth," said Brian Longe, CEO for Wolters Kluwer's
Financial & Compliance Services division. "With access to the
critical data they need, when they need it, lenders can improve
performance with straight through processing and more effectively
manage risk at the transactional level. And we'll help them use
that same data to obtain enterprise-level views of their customer
bases and businesses thereby enhancing long-term
profitability."
More than 600 U.S. banks and credit unions utilize Financial
Tools' CASH Suite. These solutions enable institutions to automate
and streamline tasks like business development, financial analysis,
risk management and pricing, credit communications and approvals,
covenant compliance tracking, portfolio management, stress testing
and in-depth reporting. Wolters Kluwer Financial Services'
proficient origination and workflow capabilities and built-in
compliance content in the ComplianceOne® loan and deposit
origination solution will be fully-integrated with the
comprehensive commercial lending capabilities of CASH Suite.
"Joining Wolters Kluwer Financial Services means that our
customers will have access to a broader array of risk management
and business workflow solutions," said Dave Kampff, president and
CEO of Financial Tools. "Together, we'll be able to meet the
complex, changing needs of commercial lenders now and as their
organizations grow."
Kampff and all of Financial Tools' 30 employees have joined
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. Terms of the deal are not being
disclosed.
