Netupdate Releases Originator Pro™ version 2.0
Integrated Point-of-Sale System Continues to Streamline Mortgage Origination

Bellevue, WA, January 14, 2003 - Netupdate, Inc., a premier mortgage software services company, today announced the addition of five important features to Originator Pro (OP), Netupdate’s flagship Point-of-Sale System for mortgage professionals. These enhancements include Good Faith Estimate and Truth-in-Lending disclosure documents, Express Pre-Approval Application powered by Fannie Mae, enhanced loan file export functionality, loan program database and closing cost templates, and a single pipeline view.

"With these new features, Netupdate further strengthens its Web-based Point-of-Sale System for the mortgage industry," said Diane Holmstrom, Netupdate CEO. "This new version places the must-have sales tools into a single interface enabling loan officers to reduce the time to approval."

Major Enhancements Include:

  • Good Faith Estimate and Truth-in-Lending Disclosure Documents: Loan Officers can complete and print disclosures offline and can securely deliver multiple GFE/TIL electronic doc sets to any prospective borrower.
  • Express Pre-Approval Application (XPA) powered by Fannie Mae (optional module): XPA allows the loan officer or borrower to enter limited financial information, obtain a pre-approval decision from the lender online, and if pre-approved, print out the pre-approval letter in a matter of minutes. Numerous customization controls are offered enabling the lender to customize text and logos, disclosure language, and even charge a loan application fee.
  • Enhanced Loan File Export Functionality: Improved accuracy and additional data can be exported to Byte®, Calyx Point®, MortgageWare™ and other LOSs using the Fannie Mae® version 3.0 loan file format.
  • Loan Program Database and Closing Cost Templates: Originator Pro’s Good Faith/TIL, Product Eligibility & Pricing Engine powered by Sollen Technologies, and Secure 1003 features now use a new built-in Loan Program Database and Closing Cost Template schemes. Supported loan programs are Fixed Rate, ARM, and GPM; supported loan types are Conventional, FHA, and VA. Closing Cost Templates include Reg-Z settings and pre-Defined Mortgage Insurance plans.
  • Single Pipeline View in the OP Desktop Client: Pipeline management is simplified and enhanced by combining both online and local (offline) loans onto one screen in the OP Client.
