ProcessingFor file processing, our document imaging system provides for the ultimate solution for paperless loan file storage. A borrower’s folder can contain system forms and scanned or faxed in documents that can be electronically sorted and stacked for organization, underwriting submission, post closing, investor delivery and for future audits and/or accounting. Our bar-coded fax cover sheet lets you send the fax from any fax machine. Clients who use LenderAssist mortgage software have access to our library of forms. The icon-driven tracking screen presents due by date, comments area and a companion report to easily determine which documents are outstanding for every loan in the processor’s pipeline.

Lock DeskThe lock desk provides an engine that captures loan details for the appropriate loan product and returns current pricing for the originator to effectively price and sell a offering to the borrower with confidence. Originators can then request a lock or float to which the lock desk can generate an electronic response. The Lock Desk can respond to the request after manually validating the information or can choose to automate the process with an auto-response confirmation.

All reports automatically create documents that can be exported into other systems such as Quickbooks®, loan servicing systems and Crystal® reports.

AdministrationLender Assist differs from most all loan origination systems on the market because it is 100% Web-based making all of its features accessible from any Internet connection. Our clients can designate unique Web addresses (URLs) and brand our software to provide users a private labeled system. Our clients have control of user login creation, security level, and de-activation as needed. The system allows for up to three key administrators so feature set up can, security, privileges, etc. can be handled by more than one person. In addition to corporate setup, the customer can add branches and/or brokers with different names and default values for maximum flexibility.
