Online Fax Service Enables Lenders to Complete Customer Refinance Applications More Quickly

(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/18/12 -- The mortgage industry is expecting an influx of new loans -- note that as many as 6.9 million borrowers could fit the new "Harp 2.0" broad requirements for refinancing fixed rate loans. For mortgage brokers, the could mean an onslaught of customers and applications to process.
With additional business, however, comes more paperwork. eFax®, a provider of online fax services since 1995 and a brand of j2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM), understands the importance of handling the complicated loan documentation efficiently and offers many features and benefits that may help process mortgage loan and refinance applications more quickly.
"As a busy mortgage professional, I'm always on the go, meeting with clients and potential lenders, and this time of year has only increased the number of my responsibilities. With eFax, I never have to worry about missing any confidential documents," said Mike Trenkle, owner of MK Mortgage. "I can send and receive faxes from anywhere, which helps me to stay on top of important deals and paperwork."
To streamline the workflow process, eFax features and benefits include:
-- eFax offers unlimited lifetime storage and securely archives faxed documents online, providing an easily accessible digital audit trail. This not only improves accountability by helping lenders comply with regulations, but allows for a more organized document management system. Documents, which can be digitally stored on secure file servers, can be retrieved at anytime from anywhere.
-- Instead of wasting time manually searching through file folders stuffed with applications, forms and signed papers, eFax incorporates search tools into faxed documents. Queries include specific names, topics, or other keywords to find a document or group of documents. Processing time can be drastically reduced by moving from paper to eFax.

-- eFax offers secure encryption alternatives to traditional fax machines. This means no more confidential faxed documents sitting next to a fax machine. Instead, with eFax Secure™, faxes are encrypted and stored as a TIFF or PDF in a secure inbox.
-- In today's electronic world, businesses are often slowed down by file size constraints and attachment issues when sending and receiving information by email. This is no longer the case with eFax. An added benefit for paid accounts is the capability to reliably and securely upload and share files well over 5MB (up to 1 G) to any email address without bounce-backs or failed send attempts.

-- eFax offers the ability to annotate faxes online. There is no printing or marking up contracts in the margins and then scanning or re-faxing with a traditional machine.
-- Using a digitized signature means you don't have to print, sign and scan to move a document forward. Documents that need a signature can be faxed to a user's eFax account to add a digitized signature in a snap. The approved document can then be sent along via email or fax.
