[HousingWire] A growing wave of digital adoption is quickly transforming into the new standard, motivating more companies to take the leap and invest in robust technology solutions. As customers experience innovative technology in other industries, they’re starting to demand that from the mortgage industry. While ease of use and convenience are helping to fuel this growth, increased efficiency, reduced costs and enhanced compliance are also major contributing factors, supporting both consumers and businesses.

Subscribers to our Compliance Newsletter already know that more and more states continue to pass laws that support electronic notarization which the mortgage industry now relies on to perform electronic loan closings. But considering those laws, and thinking about how a lender can begin to add electronic closings to their portfolio of services, it is helpful to think about the various types of electronic closings that can be done. These range from a fully electronic closing to various forms of ‘hybrid’ electronic closings (also “hybrid e-closing”).

So, what are these types of closings?

Directly from within the Lending Pad LOS, users can seamlessly access DocMagic’s loan documents to close loans quickly, efficiently and compliantly

TORRANCE, Calif., June 26, 2019—DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, announced that it has completed an integration with cloud-based loan origination system (LOS) provider LendingPad from WEI Technology LLC, offering its document preparation services directly from within the LendingPad environment.

Testing Information

The first big change with these forms is in the Uniform Loan Application Dataset, or ULAD, for short. This dataset is used to submit your application data to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The GSEs mapped ULAD to MISMO version 3.4.  They used 3.4 because the GSEs would have to engage in extensive use of extensions to have used a lower version of MISMO. They also state that you must use ULAD to submit your data to Desktop Underwriter and your Loan Product Advisor if you're using the new, redesigned URLA. The two things need to go together. If you are interested in the data transmission of your application data to the GSE's automated underwriting systems, they did provide ULAD testing cases on their website, which you can find at fanniemae.com or freddiemac.com.

Understanding the New URLA

The new URLA is bringing us into the 21st century. Along with improving accuracy and the clarity of information being provided by the borrower, the coming changes will make the process more efficient for lenders. As with all changes, there is a learning curve. The key to preparing for a smooth transition is understanding the changes, identifying where they will be on the new forms and beginning testing to eliminate workflow interruptions.
