Info Request is a great new tool that brokers can use while working on their Loanapp application to securely send Information and Supporting Documents requests to their applicants. Applicants can then reply directly back to loanapp/the broker.
The Info Request functionality is also able to be branded with the broker's logo, meaning that your applicants receive requests from you, rather than the lender you are submitting to. If you would like to 'set your brand' on Info Requests, click here for full instructions.
