About Encompass

Truv helps loan officers and processors submit income and employment verification requests on behalf of borrowers. Now with Encompass integrations, customers retrieve and refresh aggregate reports and store them in the Encompass eFolder during the mortgage loan origination process. The integration also allows for Orders to contact users for their provider information.
