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.

Note

Truv has three environments, sandbox, development, and production. Each requires an associated Access secret for their respective uses. Sandbox is for checking structure and getting sample data, Development is a production-like environment for end to end testing. Confirm your configurations in these environments before moving to Production. Test verifications in the development environment are not billed or limited. For sandbox data, please refer to Truv's Testing page.
