When your loan officer sends you the link to apply for a loan or you click on the apply now link, this is the process to start your loan and how you download the mobile app.
Enter your email address and create a password.
Click on the link in the email you receive to download the app.
Open the app in app store to download. Download the app.
After downloading the mobile app for the first time, getting signed into the app will require a small setup process. After opening up the app, the home screen will display two options: ‘Get Started’ and ‘Sign In.’ Using the ‘Sign In’ button will be used once your username and password has been setup. For first time users, we will want to select the ‘Get Started’ button to create your account profile.
After selecting ‘Get Started’ you will be taken to a screen to enter the email address you would like to use for your account profile. Be sure to check the spelling is correct and then tap on the ‘Connect’ button to proceed. If the email listed is not listed in our system, you will then be asked to provide additional information, such as your name and phone number so that we can save that data for your loan officer’s use.
If the email address provided already is recognized in our system, rather than require more information, you will be taken to a page where we will send out a verification code to the email address. The verification code can be sent either by email or text. Select the ‘Send Code’ button to get that code issued out.
After the account profile has been created and the password set, you will be directed back to the home screen. Tap on the ‘Sign In’ button to proceed with logging into your app.

Once AccountChek is authorized to connect to your financial institution, you will be taken to the Review and Submit page. You can click +Add Another Financial Institution to add more accounts while we finish gathering account data.
Once you have added all accounts needed to qualify for your loan, please select which accounts you would like to share by checking the checkbox to the right of each account. Once all desired accounts are Linked, click Finish & Share to complete the process! Your lender will notify you if you need to log back in and provide further information.
If you could not connect your financial institution within our automatic portal, you can provide them manually to us in the following ways:

Scanning Printed Pay stub:

Uploading required documentation for your mortgage application is necessary to ensure your loan can move forward. This process can be done in one of two ways:
Both options are perfectly fine, but they have unique aspects to it worth mentioning. Uploading a document from a mobile device has you create the document file as you go through the process using our mobile scanner feature, whereas the Web Dashboard will require the documents already be scanned in and saved to the computer being used.
Using the Mobile App, uploading documents starts by selecting the ‘Add Document’ as shown below.
From Add Document, select the option that is needed to make sure you get the document uploaded.
As we are starting the process, select the ‘Take Picture’ option. (nothing will be saved to your phone)
First you will need to name the document you are uploading. There is a list of options already you can select if you find the document name that you are uploading. If you don’t see the title of the document you are uploading, you are able to name it whatever you would like. Once the document name is intact, select ‘OK’ to continue.
A scan mode option will then be displayed. Most cases, ‘Recommended setting’ works just fine for all documents, but for color documents, such as licenses and IDs, we have a ‘Requested in Color’ option for that. Choose the scan type and click ‘OK.’
A set of scanning instructions will be shown giving the user tips on how to properly scan the document. Your camera will then turn on letting you take the photo of the document. When you have the document fully lined up properly, select the middle button on the bottom option to take the scan.
Once the scan is taken, there will be a cropping tool that will let you make any adjustments needed. Once the adjustments are made, select the ‘Crop’ option to continue. If you need to take a scan of the document again though, you are able to click ‘Back’ to retake the scan of the document.
Next will be a contrast adjustment filter to make sure the document is clearly legible. Once you can read it clearly, select ‘Done’ to finalize these edits.
After completing the edits to the scan, there will be a review page where you give a final approval on the document. If the document looks great, you can click ‘Send’ to upload the document to your account profile. If the document has more than one page, you can instead click the ‘Add Page’ option to scan the next page, where you can repeat this process until you have the full document ready to upload.
Once you are done, select the ‘Send Securely’ button to upload the document. You will get a confirmation once the document has upload successfully, and you can then close out of the app, or you can instead just click the ‘OK’ button that would appear to go back to the home page of your app.
Final notes: Scanning your documents in via the app is secure. Also, the scanned documents are not saved on your phone like they would be if you take a picture and send them in via email.
