The loan closing stage is a crucial part of lending: it’s where the loan agreement is finalized and funds are disbursed. LendingWise LOS software streamlines closing with features that improve efficiency, accuracy and collaboration. In this post, we’ll explore how LendingWise LOS simplifies the closing stage, so every party has a smooth experience.

Loan closing is the final stage of a loan, when closing documents are prepared and signed, final conditions are cleared and funds are disbursed.

Key takeaways

  • Closing checklists fit the deal. Workflows and checklists can follow loan program, property type, entity type and more.
  • Closing docs come from the loan file. Generate docs from 30+ built-in templates and send them for e-sign with a set signing order.
  • Legal doc providers are integrated. LendingWise sends loan data to Lightning Docs, DocLab, GoDocs, DocMagic and more.
  • Errors get caught earlier. The AI Doc Review agent checks every upload in real time against your own rules.

Customizable Closing Workflow Steps and Checklists

LendingWise offers detailed closing workflow steps and checklists that you can customize by loan program, with required docs that follow the scenario, such as property type, transaction type, entity type and state. Tailored checklists keep closers on the right steps for each loan, reducing the risk of errors and improving efficiency.

Can LendingWise Generate Closing Documents?

Yes. LendingWise’s doc generation creates closing documents, disclosures, term sheets and other essential docs from 30+ built-in templates, merge tags and doc packages, or from templates you design yourself. Output is available as PDF, Word or Excel, and built-in e-sign lets you assign signers and set the signing order, so documents are prepared accurately and signed on time.

Integration With Third-Party Doc Generation Providers

LendingWise LOS also sends loan data to legal document providers such as Lightning Docs, DocLab, GoDocs, DocMagic and more for closing docs. Lenders get the expertise of these specialized providers without re-keying loan data. See all supported providers on our integrations page.

Centralized Communication and Collaboration

Effective communication is critical at closing, which involves borrowers, lenders, attorneys and title companies. LendingWise’s cloud-based platform keeps every party’s contact details, notes, tasks and documents on the loan, and every loan has its own email address, so threads you CC or forward land on the file. Everyone works from the most up-to-date information.

Automated Doc Review and Guideline Checks

Catching problems before closing day saves time and money. LendingWise’s AI Doc Review agent scans and validates each uploaded document in real time against your own pass, fail and verification-needed logic, so the borrower sees what needs re-submission instantly. The loan also warns you when it falls outside your program’s guidelines, helping you avoid costly errors and delays.

With customizable closing workflows, built-in document generation and e-sign, legal doc provider integrations, centralized communication and automated doc review, closers can complete the process efficiently and accurately.
