Five Star Announces 2025 Servicing Excellence Award Winners

This article originally appeared in the September 2025 edition of MortgagePoint magazine, online now.

MortgagePoint’s Servicing Excellence Awards were created to honor the outstanding achievements of mortgage servicers across the industry—from depository-backed servicers driving community-focused stewardship and compliance, to subservicers delivering seamless portfolio management with precision and care, to non-depository servicers leading innovation through scalable, tech-driven borrower engagement.  

These professionals may operate under different models, but they all share a commitment to performance, integrity, and client-first excellence.  

In this year’s spotlight, we recognize the companies redefining what excellence in servicing looks like—whether through cutting-edge technology, empathetic customer care, or market-leading risk and compliance frameworks. In the following pages, meet this year’s five honorees.

BSI Financial Services

BSI Financial Services has built a reputation for solving servicing challenges with a proprietary suite of tools developed entirely in-house. These solutions address the core pressures servicers face today—from compliance oversight and borrower engagement to operational efficiency and portfolio performance.  

Today, BSI manages nearly $50 billion in mortgage assets for banks, credit unions and private investors. Its proprietary stack includes five core solutions, each built to solve a specific servicing problem but designed to work in unison:  

  • Asset 360™ offers real-time, loan-level analytics and daily performance tracking, giving servicers sharper visibility into MSR management and portfolio strategy.  
  • Libretto™ enforces more than 1,400 investor, federal, and state rules, providing automated compliance governance with full transparency across QA, QC, and Risk functions. 
  • MyLoanWeb™ improves borrower experience through 24/7 self-service, shifting high-volume interactions away from the call center. 
  • Portfolio Guardian applies AI and borrower-supplied data to predict refinance probability, allowing servicers to engage borrowers earlier and reduce churn. 
  • EZ Board accelerates loan onboarding with OCR-driven automation, reducing handoffs, improving accuracy, and ensuring loans are engagement-ready from day one.  

The strength of BSI’s platform lies in how these tools operate together. By sharing data and insights across functions, the tech stack minimizes manual intervention, improves oversight, and enables BSI to anticipate borrower needs. This cohesive approach turns servicing into a proactive, strategic function—helping clients meet regulatory requirements, strengthen customer relationships and improve portfolio results.  

What Sets BSI Apart: 

  • Proprietary, end-to-end tech stack built entirely in-house  
  • Real-time analytics and compliance automation  
  • AI-driven borrower retention and risk modeling  
  • A bifurcated servicing structure which separates the servicing of agency and non-agency loans into two distinct operational divisions, each with a dedicated senior leader  
  • Seamless borrower self-service and digital engagement  
  • Proven scalability across nearly $50B in mortgage assets
