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.
Enter the email address and password in the fields provided, then tap on the ‘Sign In’ button below, which is the login credentials are correct, will take you to the home or ‘Info’ tab of the mobile app where you can then begin to use the app as needed.
To provide you with an accurate pre-qualification and process your loan application, we will ask you for a variety of documentation. Please note different programs require varying documentation.
At a bare minimum to complete your initial loan application, you will need the following:
In addition to the list above, if you meet any of the scenarios below we will request additional documentation:

As a part of the loan application process, we need the last 2 months of your bank statements for your loan application. There are three ways to upload your bank statements:
Syncing within the App
When the question comes up to verify your assets, click on the “Automatic Check” option to continue.
Select the financial institution that you work with from the thumbnail provided below, or by using the search bar to type in the name of your financial institution.
Once the institution has been selected, you will be asked to provide your online login credentials to access your online banking account. Use the same username and password that you normally use to login into your mobile banking account, then click on the “Submit” button to continue.
Our integration will then use your login information to locate your financial account details and then display a list of results confirming the account number and account balance. Check the box next to the account you wish to provide, then select the “Share Account” button to include this information in the loan application. If you have multiple accounts to provide, simply select the “+ Add Another Account” link below the results to start this process again until all assets are listed.
Once all information is entered and the loan application completed, all of this information will be securely sent to your loan officer’s loan processing system where they will be able to continue the process of getting your loan created and arrange for next steps towards completing the process.
If you could not connect your financial institution within our automatic portal, you can provide them manually to us in the following ways:
Note: We need the actual bank statement with all pages listed, even if the last page is blank. We cannot use screenshots. We need a statement for each bank account you have.
Uploading Digital E-statement
Login to your financial institution’s online platform (preferably on your desktop)
Typically, there should be a section under your account that says “Documents” or “Statements.” Below are two examples of how it might look:
On this page, you should be able to select the statements you would like to download by either a download icon (arrow pointing down) or selecting the check box next to the two months of statements you would like to download. An example of how it might look:
When you click the download button, you will need to save these as a PDF to your computer. To save, you can do so by clicking “Save As” on the initial download or if they open on your computer you can click “File” and then “Save As.” Or, you can click the “Print” icon or “File” and then “Print” then you could change the Printer to “Save to PDF.” Example below:
Finally, login to your Simple Nexus application and upload these documents directly within your portal. Go to the “Documents” tab and upload the PDF.
Scanning Printed Statements:
To scan printed statements, please view the how-to guide below that says “How do I scan documents within the mobile app?”
As the loan application is being filled out, we need 30 days of pay stubs for your loan application. There are three ways to upload your income documentation:
Syncing within the App
You can connect automatically within our app, or you can opt to manually enter the information.
By selecting “Automatic Check” a screen will then load informing you that we will be connecting using our income provider to import that information. Click on ‘Get Started’ to begin the process.
A window will then display where “Employment Records” can be selected as the information needed. Once that is checked, select the “Submit” button to continue.
In order to locate the employment records, you will need to enter the last 4 of your Social Security Number, before clicking on the “Next” button to continue.
After a moment of searching, there will be confirmation of the employment records being found. To review the information that you want to be associated with the loan application, you can choose what type of employment record you would like, then select the “Next” button to proceed.
Note: This first record selected should be the information of your current primary employer. There will be future steps allowing to include other employers/income streams.
Once the initial employer information has been selected, the option to add additional information of employment, be it self-employed or otherwise, will be allowed. Checking those options will repeat the initial process. After all information has been added, the “No I’m done” option should be selected.
The final screen you come to will confirm that you have selected to share all the “Employment records” you chose for the application. Clicking on the “Submit” button will generate the employment report and allow you to continue filling out the remaining sections of the loan application as normal.
If your employer does not show up in the search and you receive the message below and be redirected to manually enter your income and employment information.
Screen to manually enter Employment and income if it does not automatically populate.

Scanning Printed Pay stub:
To scan printed pay stubs, please view the how-to guide below that says “How do I scan documents within the mobile app?”
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.
