KeyStoneB2B, the fintech solution that delivers competitive advantages for financial services leaders, announced new income verification services with volume discounts thanks to a wide-ranging network of providers. KeyStoneB2B streamlines the mortgage lending process for banks and financial institutions by selecting top-notch, reliable, ancillary providers, the company announced in a press release.
“For mortgage companies and lenders, nothing is more important than verifying that a prospective borrower has the income to repay the loan,” KeyStoneB2B Chief Information/Technology Officer James V. Luisi said in the release. “The IRS is the best source to verify income. When banks and other financial institutions work with us, we automate the process of validating information provided by the borrower, including income statements, W-2, tax returns and other documentation. Our system supports mortgage lenders with preventing fraud, while raising quality control and compliance.”
Through the KeyStoneB2B platform, banks, mortgage companies and lenders can complete IRS 4506-T forms for each borrower within the system. The fintech solution automatically fills the borrower’s information on numerous forms to reduce manual entry and keystroke errors. Depending on the requested information, IRS estimates the processing time between 10 to 45 days for the information to be made available. If ordered through KeyStoneB2B, the processing time is decreased to 72 hours or less, the release said.
