LIONINC.COM Completes Internet Path From Consumer to Automated Underwriting (AU)
LION Introduces New Secure Application and 1003 Manager Interface For Mortgage101.com Web Site Designs
Denver, CO - Lioninc.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of LION, Inc. (OTC BB: LINC), the leading provider of Internet solutions for the mortgage industry, announces the introduction of a secure mortgage application and online 1003 manager interface to its Mortgage101.com product line. This development enables mortgage companies, on behalf of their customers, to seamlessly submit mortgage loan applications for automated underwriting via the Internet. This development moves the mortgage industry one step closer to true point of sale underwriting which will ultimately simplify and shorten the process of securing a mortgage loan.
LIONChoice.com, a division of Lioninc.com, will offer this new application format to its existing web site clients and will integrate this feature into its new web site designs. LIONChoice.com will also incorporate this new feature into its Mortgage101.com Affiliate Program, which enables companies to add this application, mortgage calculators and extensive real estate information to existing web sites. "As with the current Quick App, this secure Internet loan application is intuitive, easy to understand, allows for quick data entry, and integrates with popular loan origination software. The application interfaces directly with LION's 1003 Manager, enabling mortgage companies to view and edit application information, order credit reports and appraisals, and submit for approval to Fannie Mae's automated underwriting engine through LION-AU," states Chuck Aikens, General Manager of LIONChoice.com. "This is just the kind of Internet solution that mortgage brokers are looking for, the application gives me an easy way to import data into my origination software and provides a quick and reliable method for submitting the loan through my wholesaler to Fannie Mae for approval. It's an exciting development," declares Randy Gray, Executive Vice President of Best Rate Solutions, Inc.
