Plaid said many lenders still rely on manual document collection because some verification solutions struggle to gain borrower adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Plaid\u2019s approach replaces document-based verification with an account-linking process that allows borrowers to connect their bank accounts. The company said the method is familiar to many consumers and can simplify the verification step in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/mortgage-applications-refinance-rise\/\">mortgage application<\/a> process.<\/p>\n<p>According to Plaid, up to 80% of borrowers complete account linking during loan application flows using its platform, which can reduce the need for follow-up requests and manual processing by lending staff.<\/p>\n<p>Once borrowers connect their accounts, Plaid generates the Home Lending Report that appears within the Encompass dashboard. The report includes up to two years of consumer-permissioned financial data \u2014 including categorized deposits and withdrawals, average balances, nonsufficient-funds counts and income derived from assets.<\/p>\n<p>The data provides lenders with a more current view of a borrower\u2019s financial position compared with traditional document-based verification, Plaid said in a blog post to announce the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/tag\/partnerships\/\">partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For agency loans through the government-sponsored enterprises <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/fannie-mae-credit-score-update\/\">Fannie Mae<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/freddie-mac-2025-earnings\/\">Freddie Mac<\/a><\/strong>, the report supports GSE-aligned asset verification within Encompass and can be validated through Desktop Underwriter and Loan Product Advisor. Plaid said the capability may allow eligible lenders to qualify for certain representations and warranties relief programs.<\/p>\n<p>The company added that the tool is also certified for use with Fannie Mae\u2019s Day 1 Certainty program and Freddie Mac\u2019s asset and income model.<\/p>\n<p>By embedding the verification workflow within Encompass, Plaid said the integration reduces the need for lenders to switch between systems while reviewing borrower financial information and managing verification tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Plaid\u2019s announcement follows other similar integrations with Encompass. <\/p>\n<p>At the end of February, <strong>Addy AI<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/addy-ai-encompass-integration\/\">announced an integration<\/a> with ICE to bring its loan officer workflow tools into Encompass.
