The 5 Rs of e-Eligibility for Mortgage Closings
There are five key factors that enable, restrict, and impact the extent to which a loan can be closed digitally. These factors are known as the loan’s e-Eligibility.
Why lenders are digitizing closings
In 2020, four Federal Home Loan Banks (Des Moines, Dallas, Chicago, and Topeka) announced their eNote acceptance programs. Since then, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Boston, and Pittsburgh have followed suit.
Ginnie Mae also launched its digital collateral program in 2020, initiating its acceptance of eNotes and eNotarization.
The number of states that passed RON laws in recent months tripled to 30 in 2020 alone.
As of March 2021, 2,217 counties support the use of eRecording, representing more than 85% of the US population
2020 was a record year for eNotes, with 462,671 registered on the MERS(R) eRegistry. This shattered the previous record set in 2019 of 127,178, a 261% YOY increase.
