First American Mortgage Solutions Expands Product Access Through its Digital Gateway

First American Mortgage Solutions, LLC, a part of the First American family of companies, today announced the expansion of the application programming interfaces (APIs) available through its Digital Gateway, giving users greater flexibility to create modern, consumer-friendly applications and workflows.

First American Mortgage Solutions’ Digital Gateway serves as a single platform for mortgage lenders and servicers, Loan Origination System (LOS) providers, fintech companies and Point-of-Sale (POS) solution providers to access data and services across the First American enterprise.

“Since the initial launch customer feedback has been extremely positive, and we expect increased engagement as more digital solutions emerge,” said Kevin Wall, president of First American Mortgage Solutions. “Our strong set of APIs, with more coming soon, allows unparalleled flexibility and workflow configuration. We’re also continuing to streamline integration of our data, products and services to speed up digital transformation across the mortgage spectrum.”

First American APIs and datasets available through Digital Gateway include:

• Multiple Identity APIs for comprehensive searches of applicants’ Social Security numbers with identity and occupancy validation
• Multiple Property APIs for nationwide property or owner searches, including hundreds of property data points and listing history
• Proprietary Ownership APIs, leveraging a nationwide search for properties owned by the borrowers, and any potential unidentified addresses, foreclosures and pre-foreclosures
