Enhanced Features of the Integration
RiskExec’s newly integrated solutions within Encompass offer vital functionalities:
1. Geocoding and Tract Data Integration
RiskExec’s system now geocodes the property addresses entered in Encompass while simultaneously writing the corresponding census tract data back to the loan file within the Encompass environment. This seamless integration plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate location data for compliance and reporting purposes throughout the loan process.
2. Rate Spread Calculation
With the integration, RiskExec can automatically calculate the rate spread for each loan using the data stored in Encompass. This function eliminates the need for manual calculations, significantly reducing errors and conserving valuable time for mortgage professionals engaged in the lending process.
3. HMDA Edit Checks
Users of RiskExec can run single-record edit checks on HMDA data directly within the Encompass system. This feature allows users to view a list of necessary edits categorized into three distinct areas: regulatory edit checks, enhanced quality checks based on RiskExec's expertise, and user-defined custom edit checks. This capability empowers users to swiftly identify and correct any data discrepancies prior to submission, ensuring adherence to HMDA requirements.
