Leading lending forward
For three decades, Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) has been transforming mortgage lending.
DU enables lenders to effectively manage risk and take advantage of underwriting innovations that simplify the lending process, so more qualified borrowers can become homeowners ─ and we’re not slowing down.
The mortgages DU supports form the basis of our mortgage-backed securities, responsibly freeing up liquidity for the market while attracting global investment. It all adds up to a stronger and more resilient housing industry.
A legacy worth celebrating

Innovation with impact
DU has continued to scale new innovations to digitize the loan origination process over the years. New enhancements ─ like streamlined data validation from a single data source and the ability to consider a borrower’s history of on-time rent payments in the eligibility assessment ─ are improving lenders’ workflows and creating more homeownership opportunities every day.
