*September 22, 2025 · 1 min read · Ramkumar Venkataraman*

> How regulated lenders and servicers can automate mortgage follow-ups with AI agents — covering TCPA, E-SIGN, TRID, ECOA, and Fannie Mae QC requirements.

## Who This Is For

- Regulated lenders and servicers who need policy-bounded automation
- Ops leaders looking to speed doc turnaround and reduce handle time
- Compliance teams aiming for 100% QA coverage
- QC leaders with a 90-day post-close cycle

## Compliance Framework

### TCPA/FCC

Autodialed/prerecorded calls to wireless numbers require prior express consent and revocation must be honored within a reasonable time.

### E-SIGN

If follow-ups include electronic disclosures, affirmative e-consent is needed that reasonably demonstrates the consumer can access the form being used.

### TRID

Three-day requirements for Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD).

### ECOA/Reg B

30-day notification rule for adverse actions.

### Fannie Mae

90-day QC cycles and 3-year reverification documentation retention.

### RESPA

Servicing records retention requirements.

## Workflow Capabilities

- Places consent-checked calls for documents, clarifications, scheduling, and reminders
- Honors call windows and suppression rules
- Escalates complex cases to humans with full context
- Start with one workflow grounded in consent, policy, and audit, allowing teams to focus on conversations that require human attention

## Document and Condition Handling

- Assembles guideline-aware checklists (Fannie/Freddie/HUD overlays) as documents arrive
- "Stare-and-compare" catches discrepancies and instantly updates the borrower's to-do list

## Verification and Reverification

- Extracts fields from W-2s, paystubs, and bank statements while calling out missing/illegible pages
- Workflow agents can call employers or check websites for verifications when permitted
- Supports Fannie Mae's 90-day QC cycle and 3-year reverification documentation retention

## Audit and Logging

Writes immutable logs of consent basis, prompts, responses, and disposition to support QC, compliance reviews, and investor requests.

## Policy Integration

Lender overlays and scripts embedded and versioned on top of agency rules (Fannie, Freddie, HUD). Compliance, auditability, and policy fidelity are core design constraints, not afterthoughts.

## Results

- Up to **70% cost savings** on repetitive workflows
- **60-75% AHT reduction**
- **+75% NPS** improvement
- **500k+ tickets** processed to date
- SOC 2 Type II security posture
