About RiskWire

RiskWire was born in 2001 as an annual educational publication and periodic newsletter focused on technology advancements in the mortgage industry. With the increasing surge in real estate technology developments and the rapid shifts in the mortgage and finance industries – and underlying national economy – RiskWire has expanded its frequency and reach to continue to address the most critical issues concerning lenders, servicers, securitizers, valuation / data providers and all other parties involved in the loan transaction.

RiskWire's offerings include an ongoing series of webinars with topics varied to reflect the issues weighing most heavily on the minds of mortgage industry executives. As RiskWire continues to expand, be on the lookout for additional offerings.
