EarlyCheck

Fannie Mae’s EarlyCheck™ improves the quality of the loan data by providing access to delivery edits and other information that needs to be reviewed before the loan is delivered.

Shedding light on potential problems early allows lenders to address the issue more effectively. EarlyCheck provides access to Fannie Mae delivery edits at any step in the loan process. While EarlyCheck is optional, Fannie Mae recommends it to improve process efficiency and reduce delays in funding.

Access to the EarlyCheck Edit Messages file has been updated to included users with Fannie Mae Connect login credentials.

Access

Options to access EarlyCheck:

  1. Direct Integration with a lender’s loan origination system (LOS) and/or delivery/secondary system:

    This option is a DU-like integration solution (i.e., it takes a loan origination file or loan delivery file as input and returns viewable results and/or a result data file).

  2. Web-based user interface:

    This option enables a user to import a loan origination file or loan delivery file, run the edits, and view the results.

Fannie Mae’s EarlyCheck tool provides lenders the opportunity to resolve delivery edits earlier in the process because the EarlyCheck application mirrors Loan Delivery edits. This results in fewer post-delivery issues.
