Submit Policies Quickly with Fund-Exclusive Integration
E-Closing DT is getting better and better! Save time, streamline your post-closing process and reduce mailing costs with Policy Submit, the latest Fund-exclusive integration that lets you send final policy documents and images electronically to The Fund.
Policy Submit Guide
- ORNTIC/The Fund is set as the Underwriter.
- You must have pulled the Policy Jackets in order to Submit the Final policy information/images to The Fund.
- You have executed the Calculated Prem AND saved using the Update Title Info button – this step is very important. If you make changes to this screen – you MUST hit the Update Title Info button, or the changes will NOT save.
- The Total Coverage pulls from the Financial Information Screen.
- Commitment Effective date is like a “rating date” – best practice is to use today’s date.
- Prior Policy / Reissue Credit. This is the area you enter the amount on either the Owners (if a standalone Owners) or Simo. If a stand-alone loan, you will enter the amount under the Loan side only.
If a reissue rate was added in the above area, you need to enter the following required information: Underwriter, Prior Policy Number, Coverage and Prior Policy Effective Date.
Select any endorsements needed for the policy.
Select Calculate Premium.
Select Update Title Info to save.
Go back to the Title Policy screen (selecting this sends you to the next screen and will be modified in a future phase of ECDT).
Verify your totals and rating information are accurate.
Select the [Upload Policy] button to launch the Fund Policy Manager wizard.
You have 3 ways to select the documents to associate with each required item.
These will show a Choose File green button.
#1 You can select the document from any in the Scanned/Saved documents for this file.
#2 Drag and Drop
Simply drag and drop a document over the words “Drop Files.”
This also adds it to the Scanned/Saved documents area.
#3 Attach from Desktop

This also adds it to the Scanned/Saved documents area.
Once all items are attached, your wizard will look like the image below.
To change the attachment to any item, select the “trash bin” and reselect.
