MORTGAGE LOAN ACCOUNTING


Progressive commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations,
mortgage servicing companies and insurance companies long have recognized
the advantages of utilizing IBM Data Processing Systems for Mortgage Loan
Accounting.

The flexibility of the IBM Method permits the design of procedures to meet
individual needs.

For instance:

A number of customers are using the IBM 557 Interpreter with Selective Line
Printing to automatically print their Ledger Cards. Other customers use the
IBM Balance Cards as their Ledger Records and periodically use them to list
an Historical Record of transactions and balances by mortgagor. A copy of
this listing, showing prinCipal, interest, escrow payments and escrow disburse-
ments, mailed to the mortgagor at year end, eliminates inquiries for data to
support income tax returns. The customer whose procedure is described in
this book prepares his Ledger Cards on the IBM 954 Facsimile Posting Machine.

On mortgage billing, the IBM Method is sufficiently flexible to be efficient
whether a bill, a passbook, a coupon book or a receipt plan is utilized. The
IBM prepared bill, on paper or an IBM card, is an extra dividend achieved
through use of the IBM Data Processing Machines.

In addition to the regular accounting functions, the use of IBM machines makes
possible the preparation of special analyses for audit and management purposes.
These analyses may take the follOwing suggested forms: mortgage property
analysis by type of property, by location and type of mortgage, and by type of
mortgage and amortization status.

Installations of IBM Data Processing Systems are currently serving customers-
whose portfolios vary from less than 2000 to over 100, 000 mortgages.
