Loan Review


News Alert! 

Per Circular 26-24-13, use of the Loan Review API to transmit Full File Loan Review (FFLR) documents to VA is required for all loans selected for a FFLR on or after November 4, 2024. As of this date, LGY will no longer accept files received via manual upload to WebLGY Correspondence in response to an FFLR request. Failure to comply could result in a lender’s inability to make VA loans.

Lenders who use a third-party Loan Origination System (LOS) should engage their technology provider in discussions regarding implementation of a Loan Review integration and encourage them to collaborate with LGY. Lenders with a proprietary LOS or a desire to build their own integration should request a discussion with the Loan Origination Transformation (LOT) API Implementation Team by visiting the LGY Help Center and selecting ‘API Support’ as the product for which you are seeking support.

Please review this page for more information.

Loan Review Program

The Loan Review API will allow loan files, along with the Uniform Loan Application and Closing datasets, to be submitted directly from a lender’s system to VA with the click of a button – a streamlined, simplified method with increased data accuracy that allows lenders to spend less time logging into VA systems and uploading documents, and more time providing Veterans with better, more personalized service.

  • Frees up bandwidth for VA staff to serve Veterans by automating the manual data entry required as part of loan reviews
  • Provides lenders with faster feedback on the outcomes of audits
