Using Finmo you can easily submit deals directly to lenders. Submitting directly will allow mortgage professionals to bypass pushing to Filogix/Expert and submit your deals directly to every available lender. We've enabled nearly 400 lenders for you to submit deals directly to within Finmo (in other words, there's no need to push deals to Expert first, then send them to the lender).

The list of lenders includes Scotia bank, TD, MCAP Prime, MCAP Eclipse, CMLS Financial, Manulife Bank of Canada and more. The full list can be found on the "Submit" tab for any deal.

How to Submit a deal to a lender

1. Click on the deal that you want to submit.

2. Ensure that the deal is in your control as any changes made by the borrower won't be reflected on your lender submission.

3. Review and complete anything in the application that the lender will require, including the "Subject Property" section.

TIP: Make sure you pull credit before you submit your deal.

4. Next click the Submit tab (top right). Scroll down to the "Where do you want to submit" section and click the "lenders" list to get a drop-down menu of the available lenders or you can select from your favourite lenders.

5. Select the lender you wish to submit to and click on "Choose lender"

This will open up the "Submit" page. A draft of your lender submission will open and you will see the GDS/TDS information and Mortgage request details displayed on this page.

Note: Downpayment info and "GDS/TDS can be edited in the Submission form itself or by clicking on "Calculator" at the top of the page.
