CRA Wiz® — Wolters Kluwer (US)

Official Solution

Project Overview

CRA Wiz® by Wolters Kluwer is the industry-standard regulatory compliance and risk analytics platform used by leading financial institutions, mortgage lenders, and community banks across the United States. It simplifies and automates compliance with the federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA).

The platform empowers banks to transform statutory compliance requirements into high-impact strategic lending intelligence—scrubbing and verifying massive loan datasets, geocoding geographic territories to US Census tracts, detecting fair lending exposure, and generating audit-ready submission packages for federal regulators (FDIC, OCC, CFPB, and the Federal Reserve).
