Loan Lookup API
The Loan Lookup API enables lenders to determine in real time if a loan is owned by Fannie Mae for the purpose of identifying eligibility for underwriting and/or appraisal flexibilities.
Lenders can submit minimal data for multiple borrowers at once and receive a response indicating whether each borrower’s loan is owned by Fannie Mae. The API is provided pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) Schedule to Fannie Mae’s Software Subscription Agreement.
Operational efficiencies
- Automates the process of confirming ownership for up to 100 loans at a time and streamlines the steps in the origination process.
Reduced data inputs
- Minimal data is required as an input – just a borrower’s name, property address, and the last four digits of their social security number.
Bulk identification
- Verify ownership for up to 100 loans at a time.
When would I use this API?
Lenders can proactively identify loans within their refinance pipeline that may be eligible for underwriting and/or appraisal flexibilities.
These flexibilities allow lenders to prioritize loans that could benefit most from an abbreviated process by streamlining the steps for processing these loans.
