SettlementOne understands how important underwriting decisions have become to lenders and the critical nature of timely closings. To better assist lenders in streamlining the closing process SettlementOne has implemented a turnkey automated Tax Verification feature. Lenders now have direct access to all necessary applicant tax documentation required for loan approval. With rapid return times on Tax Verification orders, same day decisions are now viable.

To assist in expediting the request process, 4506 consent forms may be either uploaded directly into the system or faxed over.
