Calyx Software Releases Point Version 7.1

In order to comply with the federal and any state requirements stemming from the S.A.F.E. Act under new FHFA regulations, Point 7.1 offers applicable input fields and prints the NMLS number and license number (if applicable) of the loan originator, loan originator company, branch and the control person on the top of all forms. Additionally, Point 7.1 complies with HUD's final rule of the revised RESPA regulations that requires loan originators to provide a new standardized Good Faith Estimate (GFE) statement effective January 1, 2010. To help customers transition to the new form, Point 7.1 uses the existing GFE to populate most of the fields and calculations for the new GFE (called the GFE 2010).

New features included in Point 7.1 include the ability to populate Forms 4506/4506-T within a Point screen and print them out complete with other forms needed during the application process. This significant feature, which enables larger, bolder font for mandated fields, will reduce the number of requests denied by the IRS due to illegible forms. Enhancements to Direct Connect title/escrow screens allow increased customization to the interface. "The 7.1 upgrade is necessary primarily because of the latest federal requirements but the bonus forms and improved functionality really contribute to its appeal," said Doug Chang, president of Calyx Software. "We always look for ways to provide Calyx customers with affordable tools that will keep them productive and compliant."
