MISMO Gives Lenders A New Test For Mortgage AI Vendors
MISMO, the mortgage industry's data standards body, has released a framework that lenders can use to evaluate AI vendors before deploying their tools in the mortgage process.
Why this matters: Mortgages are one of the highest-stakes decisions most people make. If an AI vendor's tool influences who gets approved, at what rate, or how fast, the lender needs to know whether that tool actually works and plays fair. MISMO giving lenders a shared test is a step toward accountability. Without something like this, lenders can buy whatever a vendor pitches and the borrower has no idea what shaped their outcome.
