Rapid Reporting's DirectCheck product will be providing instant verification of Social Security numbers direct from the Social Security Administration for the first time in the mortgage industry. By adding immediate Social Security number verification to the other real-time components of DirectCheck, the industry now has a stronger, better way to reduce fraud at origination, noted Rapid Reporting at the MBA Technology Show in Dallas. The application's users get instant delivery by just entering the borrower's name, Social Security number and date of birth. This coincides with the SSA's new real-time program to begin in October that will allow for the seamless transfer of data back via an XML Web service interface.
