A processing and submission client/server system transmits relevant loan
information from a borrower to one or more lender computer systems
through pre-defined file templates, which are utilized during loan
origination. An automatic data flow process from the origination screen
populates the relevant fields in any other related loan forms and word
processing documents. Different forms are supported for different types
of loans. The loan originator computer system includes a loan origination
software program integrated with a web-browser based interface system.
The interface system couples the loan origination software program to one
or more partner computers. The partners comprise loan underwriters,
lenders, and settlement service vendors. The interface system provides
dynamic formatting and data transmission for different connections
depending on the transaction type and target partner. In a web-based
implementation, the interface system populates data directly from the
loan origination software program to the appropriate web pages of the
target partners.
