Preparing for KHC's New Loan Origination System
KHC is preparing to go live with its new loan origination system (LOS) this summer. We want to notify lenders of some important details before the transition:
- Importing a new loan: With the new LOS, lenders will not import a Fannie Mae 3.2 file. Instead, lenders will import the Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset (ULDD) loan file in XML format from their origination system. This format is currently used to deliver loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and your origination system should support this. If you are not sure how to access this file format, first contact your internal system administrator. If they are unsure, then you may have to contact customer service for your origination system.
- Fee Changes beginning with the new LOS:
- The KHC Administrative Fee will be increased from $125 to $175 per loan, beginning with loans in the new LOS. The last time KHC increased this fee was July 1, 2017.
- The KHC Underwriting fee, charged on TPO and Correspondent loans, will be increased from $495 (last increased September 29, 2014) to $595.
- Bonus for excellent file submission: Any TPO or Correspondent (RHS and Conventional) loans with 10 pend conditions or less on the first submission (including first-time approvals) will receive the $100 increase in their lender compensation, paid at time of closing (for TPO's) or purchase (for Correspondent RHS and Conventional loans).
- Remember, Correspondent lenders receive the entire KHC Underwriting fee on FHA and VA loans.
- TPO Lenders:
- Beginning with the new LOS, you may add new closing agents not previously on the list. Jamie Swindler, [email protected], and Melissa Johnson, [email protected], are coordinating those efforts.
- Beginning with the new LOS, KHC will no longer order the flood certification on TPO loans. TPO lenders will order their own flood certification and have it endorsed to KHC prior to closing. Please contact Jamie Swindler and Melissa Johnson if you have any questions on this. Loans in the current LOS pipeline will continue to close as usual with KHC ordering the flood certification.
- Browser Compatibility: Chrome is currently not compatible but will be in the future. All other internet browsers are currently compatible with the new LOS.

KHC will be closed Monday, May 25, 2020, in honor of Memorial Day. KHC will reopen at 8 a.m. ET, Tuesday, May 26, 2020. No TPO closings or loan purchases will occur on this day.
