Income verification? More like instant gratification with AccountChek®

Freddie Mac enhanced its Loan Product Advisor® asset and income modeler (AIM) to provide automated income assessment using consumer-permissioned, direct deposit data.

AIM for income using direct deposits increases the confidence in income calculations of certain income types when there is enough direct deposit history sourced from trusted third-party service providers, like FormFree.

FormFree’s AccountChek VOA report delivered to AIM is an innovative, data-driven approach for instantly identifying income streams to help qualify your customers for their mortgage.

Freddie Mac’s Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide Bulletin issued March 2 provides lenders additional requirements and information about availability and usage. AIM for income using direct deposits is available to lenders using LPA v5.06 or higher.

What does this mean for lenders? 

Lenders will receive direct-source asset data for both asset and income verification all in one report, reduce the potential for fraud and further digitize your mortgage process, create efficiency and improve your margins.

What does this mean for borrowers?

This enhancement creates a better lending experience by eliminating the burden of gathering paper documentation.
