Lenders One and Rapid Reporting team for income verificationMortgagePress.comLenders One Mortgage Cooperative, Rapid Reporting, income verification, Form 4506-T, W-2, Request for Transcript of Tax Return Lenders One Mortgage Cooperative, a national alliance of mortgage bankers, has entered into an agreement with Fort Worth, Texas-based Rapid Reporting, a provider of pre-funding income and identity verification products for the mortgage industry. The partnership will provide cooperative members with more aggressive pricing and quicker turn times on Form 4506-T requests with Rapid Reporting's IncomeChek product. IRS Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, is a quality control check used primarily in mortgage lending to evaluate the borrower's creditworthiness by verifying the income stated on the loan application. "Today's lending environment is about improving efficiencies while reducing costs, all to ultimately increase a company's return on investment," said Luke Pille, Lenders One director of national programs. "Our members are making more Form 4506-T orders as investors are requiring such documentation. Rapid Reporting, which focuses on the mortgage industry, understands the evolving need of lenders and offers the tools they need to operate in a more cost effective, efficient manner. With Rapid Reporting as a preferred vendor, Lenders One members are provided with premier pricing, security features that meet or exceed all levels of requirements for maintenance of data integrity, as well as superior customer service." IncomeChek is Rapid Reporting's Web-accessible income verification tool that is directly interfaced with the IRS to confirm and verify borrower income against tax return, W-2 and 1099 data. It produces personal (1040) or business (1120 or 1065) tax transcripts in as little as 24 hours, and it will save Lenders One members time and money as pre-screening mechanisms eliminate invalid IRS forms and fraud detection tools work to reduce the risk of repurchase demands. IncomeChek provides results in a data format, enabling members to automate their underwriting processes in addition to decreasing loan processing times with the removal of human errors, which will increase operational speed and efficiency. "We feel as though we are an extension of the Lenders One network, not just a third-party vendor," said Jay Meadows, Rapid Reporting president and CEO. "Lenders One has members in all 50 states, and each of these lenders demonstrates the utmost integrity in wanting to eliminate fraud and improve their reporting processes. With Rapid Reporting, they can feel confident in their efforts to prevent fraudulent information from being used." Pille continued, "At Lenders One, we ensure that our partners provide the type of services that will enable our members to be successful in their business. They can be confident in Rapid Reporting's system redundancies and secure channel transmissions, and the availability as well as the knowledge of its support staff to assist them with any of their needs."
