United Cos. Plans Subprime Software

United Companies Financial is developing an automated underwriting and pricing program for subprime loans, the company announced yesterday.

Working with Appro Systems, Baton Rouge, the company is developing the MP-100 Risk Processor, which will evaluate loans that United Companies receives and price them on the basis of risk.

The automated system should streamline the application process while making classification of loans for securitization easier, United Companies said.
