GUS Enhancement - Lender Agent Security Role

The USDA’s Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS) will be updated on December 9, 2015 to introduce new functionality. A new user security role of “Lender Agent” will be made available. The new role affords lenders an opportunity to extend system access to third party agents such as mortgage brokers and/or correspondent lenders. Users assigned a GUS security role of “Lender Agent” will be able to establish applications, order new / re-issue existing credit reports, and request preliminary underwriting recommendations on behalf of an approved lender. Approved lenders will remain responsible for uploading documents and requesting final submissions in GUS. Additional functionality is being introduced as part of this enhancement. For a complete list of changes please reference our online technical bulletin.
