Did you know that Point offers you a convenient way to avoid fraud and improve your status with lenders?

According to the FBI, over 60 percent of mortgage fraud cases involve income and/or identity misrepresentations. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution to reduce your risk of fraud and improve your reputation among lenders, right inside Point!

Why Rapid Reporting?
Rapid Reporting is the most trusted name among financial institutions for identity and income verification products. Rapid Reporting’s services help drive efficiency and reduce time spent processing each loan. By using Rapid Reporting to fulfill upfront due diligence, brokers not only gain the respect of lenders, but also improve the status of their loans with those lenders. Plus, Rapid Reports results can be turned around in as little as 24 hours or less — and the nominal costs you incur can be recouped at closing.

How can Rapid Reporting help your business?
• Instead of waiting for borrowers to locate their tax returns, you can now provide the tax return transcripts from the IRS for the borrower, all in 24 hours or less.
• Rather than having a loan denied right before closing because the lender says the Social Security number of the borrower isn’t valid, you can now know the results before you invest your valuable time in a loan, for just $5 or less.
• Lenders appreciate the speed and safety of receiving verified income and identity reports from a respected third party, and will elevate your status as a broker-client.
• Because Rapid Reporting is a pay-per-use service, there are no hefty set-up fees or monthly charges that can strain the budget.
• Turnaround times are upheld even when you have questions, with personal customer service available from 7 am — 7 pm CST.

You can access Rapid Reporting directly in Point from the Interfaces > Fraud Detection menu. Learn more about Rapid Reporting at www.rapidreporting.com.
On May 1, Calyx Software will issue an I-Update that updates the interfaces in Point (versions 5.2 and higher). The update installs automatically and adds new vendors to the Lenders, Services and Interfaces menus in Point. The I-Update also applies updates to existing connections in the Lenders, Services, and Interfaces menus as needed.

The update process applies only to company listings in Point — no personal information is collected and no modifications are made to any other portions of your Point software.

Sometime shortly after May 1, when Point 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 users open their software and are connected to the Internet, Point will automatically receive and install the I-Update. After the I-Update has been received, the next time Point is opened by the user, the new listings will appear.

Important!
The Credit Services category in the Interfaces Menu has been updated to take advantage of new technology that became available to credit vendors in the Point 5.4 release. Users of Point 5.4 may continue to access their preferred vendors through the Interfaces menu as always, and many new categories and vendors have been added.

Users of Point 5.3 and earlier will now find credit vendors under the Services menu only, and will not be able to access many of the new vendors in the Interfaces menu until they upgrade their Point software.
