Program Changes
  • APR Fee Validation and Calculation Improvements

    This enhancement improves validation and recalculation behavior when APR-marked fees exceed the loan amount on the Calculations page. Previously, when the Loan Amount was very large, and a fee is entered as a percent amount, there were scenarios when the Calculations cannot be performed based on the data entered, review your data (such as the Rate change Information or APR fees) and recalculate warning would display. However, the Fee(s) could not be updated and the calculations would remain blocked.

    With this update, the system now properly reevaluates APR-marked fees whenever fee amounts are modified. If a fee, or the combined total of APR-marked fees, exceeds the loan amount, the application continues to display an error and prevent calculations. Once the fees are corrected so that the total APR-marked fees are less than or equal to the loan amount, the error message is automatically removed and the transaction can be recalculated using the updated values.

  • Online Applications (OLA)
    • Credit Report Consent - Added a separate Credit Report Consent acknowledgement for co-borrowers. When a non-spouse or non-domestic partner is included as a co-borrower on an application, they are presented with their own consent acknowledgment, separate from the acknowledgment completed by the primary borrower.
    • Mobile Device Display - Corrected an issue affecting how the institution header and title were displayed on mobile devices.
    • Electronic Communication Consent Requirements - Updated the Electronic Communication Consent disclosure to include current system requirements, including supported browser information and security requirements.
    • Help Number Configuration - Added support for configuring the Help Number option to "False" across all inquiry forms. When disabled, the Help phone number is hidden from inquiry forms and related email notifications.
    • Citizenship Field - Added a Citizenship field to the borrower and co-borrower Personal Information sections. This field is optional and must be enabled before it is displayed. Contact SupportLine for assistance enabling this feature.
