Advectis Announces Addition of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. to the BlitzDocs® Certified Underwriting Provider Program

PMI increases the stable of providers in the paperless loan processing certification program

(ATLANTA, GA) Advectis, a provider of paperless origination, underwriting and loan archiving solutions specifically designed for the mortgage industry, announced the addition of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. to its BlitzDocs Certified Underwriting Provider Program. The provider certification program allows providers of contract underwriting services to certify to their lender customers that they are fully trained and prepared to deliver those services via the BlitzDocs solution.

According to Greg Smith, president and CEO of Advectis, the BliitzDocs Certified Underwriting Provider Program was created as a service to lenders. “BlitzDocs technology is currently being used by a number of top 20 lenders in their origination and underwriting operations. Each of these lenders is a user of third party contract underwriting services too so it is important that their contract underwriting providers are certified to effectively manage BlitzDocs originated loans. Certifying those providers assures lenders that as they expand their use of BlitzDocs, they have a stable of technology and service providers that understand how to completely maximize the BlitzDocs solutions’ efficiencies.”

BlitzDocs Certified Underwriting Providers use BlitzDocs-based technology as a key solution component in their origination/underwriting process. ”Our certification as a BlitzDocs Underwriting Provider is further demonstration of our commitment to support our customers in the manner most appropriate and effective for them,” said John Ryan, assistant vice president of e-Business of PMI. “By supporting this technology alongside our existing suite of tools we enhance our ability to offer the most flexible and easiest to use underwriting service in the industry. We’re committed to transforming origination and underwriting into paperless processes, and our BlitzDocs certification is further demonstration of that commitment.”

According to Advectis, certifying providers for best practices and integration are steps toward bridging today’s paper-intensive processes with tomorrow’s e-mortgage by reducing costs, turnaround time and increasing overall efficiency for both brokers and lenders. To become certified as a BlitzDocs Certified Underwriting Provider, a company must have a minimum of six trained BlitzDocs underwriters on staff, be a member of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), demonstrate a core competency in underwriting, offer contract underwriting services to customers and comply with basic interface requirements.

BlitzDocs allows lenders to streamline the loan document submission and underwriting process with their brokers or originators. The heart of the BlitzDocs solution is the electronic loan folder (“e-folder”), which mirrors the paper loan folder used by mortgage companies today. Using a fax machine or scanner and a Web browser, brokers, lenders, investors and other authorized parties are able to capture, submit, organize, underwrite, audit, securely share and archive submission packages and closed loan documents in real time.

With BlitzDocs, brokers can be trained on how to submit loans in as little as 30 minutes. The product can be used to process all loans, regardless of the underwriting services or mortgage insurance provider. Brokers, using ordinary fax machines or scanners, will also be able to submit imaged documents to lenders for paperless underwriting. The integration will further streamline the loan process by allowing both brokers and lenders instant access to underwriting findings, loan status, credit information and appraisals via a secure on-line connection.
