Home Lending Implementation Guide

Truv provides comprehensive income and employment verification solutions specifically designed for mortgage lenders and Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) providers. This guide covers implementing Truv's verification platform to meet the stringent requirements of home lending, including the ability to connect multiple employments for complete 24-month verification history.

Overview

Home lending requires thorough income and employment verification to assess borrower creditworthiness for mortgages and HELOCs. Truv's platform enables lenders to:

  • Verify comprehensive employment history covering the required 24-month period
  • Connect multiple employment sources through embedded orders for complete income picture
  • Obtain GSE-approved reports for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac compliance
  • Streamline mortgage workflows with automated document collection
  • Support HELOC applications with real-time verification capabilities

Why Use Embedded Orders for Home Lending

Comprehensive Verification

  • Generate user-level reports approved by GSEs
  • Access detailed pay statements, W-2s, and employment records
