Calyx Software Offers Automated Verification of Employment and Income
By James Comtois
In order to speed up the loan process as well as increase its accuracy
and mitigate potential fraud, Calyx Software, a San Jose, Calif.-based provider of loan marketing, originating
and processing software for the mortgage industry, has recently verified an employment and income category within
the Calyx Network, connecting users of Calyx Point loan origination software to participating employment and income
verification vendors.
The addition of the VOE/VOI category allows mortgage brokers
and bankers to request up-to-date, fraud-proof verifications of employment and income without leaving the loan
file in Point.
By accessing the service's menu within Point, brokers can directly
request verification of a borrower's employment and income from The Work Number, a division of St. Louis-based
TALX, a provider of automated employment and income verification. More than 50,000 different verifiers including
several major mortgage lenders use the Work Number.
"One of the biggest challenges in the loan closing process
is managing the steps to request and receive income or employment verification," said Dennis Boggs, senior
vice president of Calyx Software. "Integrating The Work Number within the Calyx Network instantly connects
brokers to this information, further speeding the loan process."
The addition of the VOE/VOI category is part in parcel with Calyx
Software's recent ongoing updates and upgrades to its software and services. In early November, the LOS provider
expanded its Calyx Network with a new network interface update. The November Calyx Network Interface update contains
connections to 20 mortgage service providers, including Silver Hill Financial, the first commercial lender in the
Network.
Also, at the end of October, Calyx Software added a product and
pricing engine category to the Calyx Network, connecting users of Calyx Point to participating product and pricing
engine vendors. The new category is accessed within Calyx Point's Interfaces menu and includes six new companies
offering PPE services.
