The integration is said to allow borrowers to permission data quickly, helping lenders verify assets, income, and employment.

This leads to reduced turnaround time and enhanced borrower experience.

The verification can be accepted by Freddie Mac as well as Fannie Mae.

Commenting on the development, Mastercard head of global open banking Steve Smith said: “With MVS integrated into Encompass® and Encompass Consumer Connect®, our goals are to reduce risk for lenders, create an overall improved consumer experience, and ultimately simplify the mortgage process for everyone by helping borrowers prove their creditworthiness in a more robust, yet streamlined way.”
