Borrower Portal

BorrowerDocs is a secure borrower portal for mortgage brokers and loan officers. Collect uploads, track what's missing with clear statuses, and answer borrower questions in context. Replace email attachment chaos with one link borrowers can use on day one.

Common mortgage borrower portal problems

  • Documents get scattered across email, text messages, and different devices.
  • Borrowers do not know what is complete vs still needed, so files stall.
  • Sensitive files arrive as unsecured attachments with no clear audit trail.

How it works

Step 1
Invite borrower with one secure link

Create the file, choose your checklist template, and send a magic link. Borrowers can start immediately without account setup.

Step 2
Collect uploads and answer questions in context

Each request has its own thread and status, so clarifications happen next to the exact item instead of in long email chains.

Step 3
Review and move the file forward

Approve clean files, request re-uploads when needed, and keep the borrower focused on the next required action.

FAQs

Do borrowers need to create an account?

No. Borrowers use a time-limited magic link, so they can upload and message without username or password friction.

Can I collect documents from a co-borrower too?

Yes. You can invite a primary borrower and co-borrower so both can participate in the same file workflow.

What happens when a document is incomplete?

Set the request to Needs re-upload with context. The borrower sees exactly what must be corrected and can submit a new file.

Can I start from a checklist template?

Yes. Use template packs such as W2, self-employed, and bank statement to avoid rebuilding request lists each time.

How is this different from sending email attachments?

The portal gives borrowers one destination, status visibility, and a structured review process instead of fragmented inbox threads.
