an approved broker for that lender.
To become approved by the lender:

Open a prospect or borrower file.

Lenders > [Name of lender] > Getting Started
.
The lender’s web site opens in a browser.
Peruse the web site to become familiar with a lender and the services that they offer.
3
To continue the approval process, navigate to the lender’s broker approval page.
4
Complete and submit the required information.
5
When the request is approved, a link similar to

is displayed.
If a link is not displayed, contact the lender by telephone to complete your registration.

After the registration process is approved, you can access lender-specific loan forms
and the lender’s web site from the

menu.
Information that was already entered into other Point screens is automatically
populated in the lender forms.

that a lender covers before you use the Point interface.
