Delivering Disclosures in Blend

Disclosures are forms the borrower gets when they work with a lender to get a mortgage. These forms are required to help them understand the terms of their mortgage before accepting them, as well as certain rights they may have under Federal or state consumer protection regulation. Once a full TRID application has been collected for a borrower, the lender has 3 business days to disclose on a qualified loan - i.e. deliver the documents for review. Each loan that is disclosed on will have an Initial Disclosures package (inclusive of the Loan Estimate doc) and those that make it all the way to closing, will have a Closing Disclosure package (inclusive of the Closing Disclosure doc). The borrower may receive disclosures at various stages in the loan process, as prescribed by the regulation applicable to each disclosure.

Undeliverable Disclosures (Additional RegZ-ordered disclosures information)

In addition to eFolder-ordered Disclosures, Blend supports delivery of RegZ-ordered Closing Disclosures. The process is largely similar to ordering disclosures from the eFolder- select the documents through the “order docs” button in the RegZ form, then add them to the eFolder from the form. Upon adding to the eFolder, the RegZ package will appear in the Blend disclosures delivery screen:

Unassigned Disclosures Packages in Blend

RegZ ordering typically requires assigning documents in the package to specific borrower pairs. If a package is ordered through a RegZ form, Blend will attempt to automatically assign all the docs in the package, resulting in one of two scenarios:

• If any one of the docs in the package has been already assigned, the Blend/Encompass integration will assign all other docs in the package to the same borrower pair, to get the package ready  for delivery as soon as possible.
• If none of the documents are assigned to a borrower pair, the package will show in the “Undeliverable Packages” section, with a warning:

1. Select a borrower pair in the Undeliverable section to assign the package to a borrower pair.

2. The package will move in the Deliverable Disclosures section, select the package. 

3. Click Send.

 Note:  Any additional changes to borrower pair assignment for documents in the eFolder won’t reflect in Blend once the package has been delivered.
