DU Messages API
What if it was easier for loan officers to determine if value acceptance was available on loans that cross their desk?
Determining whether a loan is eligible for value acceptance no longer requires that your staff manually review the Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) Findings Report. The DU Messages API eliminates this step by removing the need to check for value acceptance manually. Loan officers can now identify loans that are eligible for value acceptance easily and quickly, potentially resulting in time and cost savings for you and your borrower.
Integrating the DU Messages API within your workflow can ultimately streamline the overall process and allow you to fast-track loans that would benefit from value acceptance.
