Informa Research Services Inc. has inked a deal with Metro Mortgage Guide to provide product data for the company’s Web site, www.rateupdate.com.

The Web site tools will also allow consumers to click through to fill out a mortgage application. Details of the deal were not disclosed. Calabasas-based Informa Research will also work to sell links and advertising on the Metro Mortgage Web site on a revenue-sharing basis.
