First-to-market capability includes commercial real estate, agriculture real estate, multi-family, and HELOC lending classes
Wolters Kluwer Financial & Corporate Compliance, a longstanding leader in digital loan asset management under its eOriginal brand, has introduced a major expansion of its eAsset® Management Platform to support new asset classes, including commercial real estate (CRE), agriculture real estate (Ag RE), multi-family (MF), and home equity line of credit (HELOC) loans.
With this expansion, Wolters Kluwer is the first technology provider to bring digital capabilities to these lending classes, enabling them to be created, managed, pledged, sold and securitized, and addressing a critical market need for US lenders in enabling secondary market capabilities and capital velocity benefits for asset classes that have historically lacked compliant and enforceable digital infrastructure.
“As the financial industry’s most robust platform for managing digital lending assets, the eAsset Management Platform is uniquely positioned to be first to market in supporting these broad asset categories,” said Simon Moir, Vice President, Banking Compliance Solutions, Wolters Kluwer Financial & Corporate Compliance. Moir notes that development was completed to align with expanded federal liquidity channels, guided by industry legal experts to ensure compliance with the UCC Article 8 framework, which has been enacted by all 50 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington DC.
“This is a breakthrough for lenders, investors, and liquidity partners who have been unable to fully realize the benefits of digital lending workflows in these significant asset categories,” added Moir. “This enhancement to our eAsset Management Platform leverages existing legal frameworks to bring trusted digital lifecycle management to these high-value asset categories.”
For over two decades, the eOriginal platform has been the market leader for secure creation, execution, transfer, and monetization of digital lending assets across a diverse range of sectors such as residential mortgage, equipment finance, motor vehicle, and solar lending.
The enhanced platform will provide:
- Advance digital lending adoption for CRE, MF, Ag RE, and HELOC.
- Lifecycle Management & Compliance: originate, manage, and monetize for digital CRE, MF, Ag RE, and HELOC eAssets.
- Digital Asset Certainty™, ensuring trusted authentication, immutability, transferability, and transparency for every digital asset managed on the platform.
“It is not just innovation — it’s a new standard for CRE, MF, Ag RE, and HELOC lending,” says Moir. “Additional liquidity sources are actively working with Wolters Kluwer to accelerate the market expansion of these new electronic assets, further empowering banks, credit unions, specialty lenders and institutional investors participating in this ecosystem.”
