Updated Lock Portal (website) enhancements
Beginning January 9, 2021, our lock portal will be updated to allow clients to use the new MISMO V3.4 file to register and lock loans. Client may also continue to use the current MISMO V3.2 file until a format expiration date is established.
To better clarify, we have removed the MISMO V3.2 file upload button from image central and the loan confirmation screen.
Non-Delegated Clients
For Non-Delegated clients submitting loans for underwriting, we will no longer require the submission of a MISMO V3.2 file with the credit package. Clients may, however, continue to register and lock loans with the MISMO V3.2 file.
