MISMO standards save time, reduce costs and improve data accuracy and transparency while passing cost savings to consumers. Through the support of its 150 subscribers,MISMO provides free and open access to the final releases of its standards. This access enables companies to begin integrating MISMO standards into everyday business practices immediately. Organizations adopting MISMO standards gain the ability to operate more efficiently and improve their bottom lines. Below are just a few reasons to adopt MISMO.

Drive Down Costs
Companies using MISMO standards can reduce costs of data management, data quality and interface development. One service provider reported using MISMO standard XML data transactions reduced interface development time from six months to a few weeks.

Increase Efficiencies
Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) research indicates that significant cost savings, income gains and process efficiencies are attainable through the use of standards.

Promote Liquidity
Mortgage bankers, lenders, servicers, vendors and service providers are adopting MISMO standards to promote consistent data use and understanding throughout the industry. Use of one common set of data can dramatically improve data quality and purity and thereby boost investor confidence in mortgages as an asset class.
