Citi Launches New DO Feature

St. Louis-based CitiMortgage has declared itself the first lender to launch Fannie Mae's Desktop Originator "Link to Lender" feature, which allows brokers to submit loan data directly from DO to the CitiMortgage wholesale website.The feature enables transferring loan data directly to the site, and thus eliminates the need to export, import, or re-key data into the system. Once on the CitiMortgage wholesale website, brokers can access additional services and functions, such as checking rates, locking rates, and registering loans. A pilot test of the system has been completed, and the "Link to Lender" feature is now available to all CitiMortgage brokers who use DO, the company said. CitiMortgage's wholesale website can be found at https://broker.citimortage.com.
