FAQ: Borrowers and Intermediaries
Can I change the primary borrower?
Yes, you can change the primary borrower. Open the application and click Edit Applicants. Select the co-borrower you want to make the primary borrower, click the three-dot menu, and select Make Primary Borrower.
Will changing the primary borrower affect existing tasks?
Changing the primary borrower will not change task assignees. However, the information associated with the tasks may become outdated and require additional review.
Why is a user not receiving emails during registration or password reset?
In some cases, email providers such as Hotmail, Yahoo, or Apple Mail may block messages.
We recommend checking SendGrid → Activity → Email Logs to confirm delivery status.
If emails are blocked, using a Gmail address is recommended for testing.
Can borrowers upload documents through the borrower portal?
Yes. Borrowers can upload documents through tasks assigned to them.
If a workflow status requires certain documents to be provided, a task can be created requesting those uploads. The borrower will then be able to upload the required files through the portal when completing the task.
Can I customize the pages of the borrower portal?
Yes. If you are using the DigiFi standard borrower portal, each page of the portal can be customized.
Where: Digital Portals Setup → Portal Pages Setup → Portal → Page → + Add Element
You can add and configure different elements on the page, such as instructions, fields, or progress indicators.
Can borrowers track their application progress in the borrower portal?
Yes. Borrowers can see where they are in the application process if progress indicators are configured on the portal pages.
You can include elements such as a progress bar or other visual markers to help borrowers understand which step of the application they are currently on.
Where: Digital Portals Setup → Portal Pages Setup → Portal → Page → + Add Element
From there, you can add elements that help guide borrowers through the application flow and show their progress.
Can I create multiple standard borrower portals?
No. Only one standard borrower portal can be launched per account.
The portal supports both person and company borrower profile types.
Can a borrower with a 'person' profile apply for a loan product that supports only 'company' borrowers?
No. If a borrower applies using a person profile type, they will not be able to apply for loan products that support only the company borrower type.
Why does a borrower see the message 'You are not eligible to apply at this time'?
By default, the portal restricts borrowers from submitting another application for 30 days after applying.
To allow borrowers to apply again immediately, update the setting below.
Where: Digital Portals Setup → Production/Testing Portal → Settings → Edit General Settings
Set the value of Allow Borrowers To Re-Apply After to 0.
This disables the borrower lock period and allows borrowers to apply again without waiting.
How do I unlock a borrower?
To unlock a borrower, navigate to:
Lending System → Borrowers → Open Borrower → 3 dots → Unlock BorrowerWhen locking a borrower, you can optionally provide a reason and set an expiration date for the restriction.
Why did the Borrower lose access to an Application on the Borrower Portal?
When the Primary Borrower is changed, the previous Primary Borrower automatically loses access to the original application.
Why can't a newly promoted Borrower access the Lending Portal?
If the new Primary Borrower does not already have a portal account, they must first receive a new portal invitation and create their account before they can access the application.
Why isn't my portal element showing?
Your portal element may have a Display Condition configured.
Portal elements are only displayed when their Display Condition evaluates to true. If the condition is not met, the element will remain hidden.
Can I reference external Terms & Conditions?
Yes. Legal Consents can be configured to display either internal consent content or a link to an external Terms & Conditions page by enabling the external URL option.
How can an intermediary create an account on the Intermediary Portal if only a sign-in link is available?
Intermediaries cannot create accounts without an invitation.
To invite an intermediary, navigate to
Lending System → Intermediaries → Digital Lending Portal → Invite User to PortalMultiple users can have accounts under the same intermediary.
