Lender Company Info

Screenshot of the Lender Company Info window.

This is the first page of the Lender Wizard. You can get here in a variety of ways when creating or editing a lender, for example: creating a lender when entering a loan, clicking Other Records > New Lender from the main menu, editing a lender from the Manage Lenders window, clicking the Edit (pencil) button when editing a lender association from the bottom of the Settings tab of the Loan Details panel.

To be able to click Finish, you must have non-blank values in the Payable To and Company boxes. All other information is optional.

Payable To – the name that borrowers should write on their checks or payments when sending you money.

Company – the official name that Borrowers will recognize as the lender on their loan. Often this is the same as Payable To.

Service Phone – a phone number for borrowers to call with questions about their loan.

Other Phone – an additional phone number to be used as you see fit on templates and reports in the system.

Fax – your fax number to be used as you see fit on statement templates.

Email Address – the email borrowers should use to contact you about their loan.

Tax ID – your federal Employer Identification Number or other identifying number

Notes – enter any miscellaneous information you like about this lender. (Up to 500 characters.)

Click Next to enter the lender’s address.

💯 Bank Account page – a later step of the wizard records the bank account used for ACH files and AutoPay. Enter the Account Holder Name exactly as it appears on the bank account, the bank's 9-digit routing number (typed twice — Moneylender checks the length and checksum and won't continue until it's a valid routing number), and the account number (also typed twice to catch typos). Then choose whether the account is a Business or Personal account, and whether it is Checking or Savings.

💯 Two additional boxes appear on the Bank Account page for lenders: the Batch Description (up to 10 characters, e.g. "Loan Funds") appears as the batch description on the ACH entries generated for this lender, and the Bank-Assigned Company ID your bank gave you for ACH origination is placed in the company identification field of the ACH files Moneylender creates.
