As you may already be well aware, every quarter, independent mortgage banks who do business with GSEs must submit a completed Mortgage Bankers’ Financial Reporting Form (MBFRF) via the online webMB portal. Failure to report on time doesn’t just lock a lender out of their webMB account, it could potentially mean suspension or disqualification of their status with the federal financial institutions.
Due to the nature of the MBFRF report, the financial information needed is often spread across multiple general ledger accounts, which in turn takes accounting departments hours to organize, compile, and submit. Even for those using the Loan Vision solution who have quick access to financial data, it’s traditionally been an exhausting task. For mortgage bankers using a system that is not industry-specific or a system that is outdated, this process can take even longer.
To combat this, we teamed up with Meahgan Riley at Mortgage Banking Solutions to expedite this process for Loan Vision users. By leveraging Loan Vision’s ability to create custom reports, Meahgan and I worked on a template that allows users to pull the information needed for the MBFRF report. Rather than searching through all their financial data, spending sometimes an entire day, customers can fill in the templated Excel workbook with their company-specific information and have the majority of the numbers they need at the touch of a button. While this custom account schedule doesn’t populate the MBFRF report for them, Loan Vision users are still able to reduce their time from 3-7 hours of searching to approximately 30 minutes of simply copying and pasting the information.
