\nThe partnership enables loan officers at Guaranteed Rate to offer their clients a faster, safer and more accurate alternative to scanning and uploading asset statements. AccountChek\u2019s intuitive app lets borrowers securely link to their banking, retirement and investment accounts and share the asset and deposit data needed to qualify for a loan.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccountChek saves borrowers the extra 20 minutes it takes to collect and upload paper statements, but it also does much more than that \u2014 it streamlines the entire loan process,\u201d said Nikolaos Athanasiou, chief operating officer at Guaranteed Rate.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter what financial institutions a borrower uses, we receive one standardized asset report in the GSE-required format. This speeds up our underwriting review and gives us greater confidence in our ability to sell the loan,\u201d Athanasiou continued. \u201cAs a result, we\u2019re moving borrowers from application to closing on average five to 10 days faster.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAccountChek helps lenders achieve reps and warrants relief from Fannie Mae while delivering a more modern lending experience to borrowers,\u201d said FormFree Founder and President Brent Chandler. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing outstanding results like those Guaranteed Rate has attained \u2014 up to a 10-day reduction in time-to-close \u2014 across our customer base and corroborated by Fannie\u2019s Day 1 Certainty team.\u201d<\/p>\n
AccountChek was the first asset verification provider approved for participation in Fannie Mae\u2019s Day 1 Certainty\u2122 initiative, which gives lenders who use the Desktop Underwriter\u00ae (DU\u00ae) Validation Service reps and warrants relief for validated loan components.<\/p>\n
