Additionally, lenders do not have to order a special report to participate in this program, as AccountChek already provides the needed transaction data to DU in the existing asset report.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once borrowers have authorized access to their financial information via AccountChek, the system retrieves the relevant information \u2013 including income deposits, expenses, and account balances \u2013 and generates a comprehensive report summarizing the data. This data is shared with the lender\u2019s point-of-sale platform and\/or loan origination system, and in the AccountChek dashboard. AccountChek\u2019s direct integration with DU ensures the necessary data flows into DU as part of the loan submission to analyze income and employment eligibility along with assets.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to improving operational efficiency and lowering costs, using a single source of data for assets, income and employment verification may also help lenders:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Streamline large deposit verification by reducing documentation requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Enhance the borrower experience by reducing the documents borrowers have to provide, which could increase the chances of securing borrowers\u2019 business.<\/li>\n<li>Achieve Day 1 Certainty\u00ae through relief from representation and warranties when income, employment, and\/or asset information is validated, which may increase loan quality and reduce repurchase risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWith DU, lenders can now get even more benefits from using a single 12-month asset report,\u201d said Peter Skarnulis, Fannie Mae Vice President, Business Account Management Solutions. \u201cWe continue to look for ways to help lenders streamline their validation processes and improve the borrower experience, and this latest enhancement helps them do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, lenders may increase the number of borrowers that receive an Approve\/Eligible recommendation in DU by assessing eligibility through rent payment identification and a cash flow assessment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re constantly looking for ways to innovate in the underwriting space,\u201d said Mark Fisher, Fannie Mae Vice President for Credit Risk Solutions. \u201cNow, with a 12-month asset report, DU offers even more value than before, benefiting both lenders and borrowers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fannie Mae has established clear guidelines and resources to facilitate the onboarding of lenders into the program, ensuring a seamless transition to streamlined verification processes.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fanniemae.com\/singlesource\">Fannie Mae&#8217;s webpage<\/a>, and submit the request form to begin the activation process: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fanniemae.com\/singlesource\">http:\/\/www.fanniemae.com\/singlesource<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Informative Research<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Informative Research, a Stewart company, is a leading technology platform that delivers data-driven solutions to the lending community.
