CMG Financial Launches Omni Income
CMG Financial, San Ramon, Calif., has rolled out Omni Income, an AI-enabled income analysis platform. It debuts with the Freddie Mac Income Calculator API.
Omni Income automates income analysis and gives loan officers, processors and underwriters access to the same calculation throughout the origination process. For eligible loans submitted through Loan Product Advisor, income calculated through the Freddie Mac Income Calculator may be eligible for representation and warranty relief.
It was developed with a focus on the needs of underwriters. It extracts income information from borrower documentation and presents the extracted data, calculation and supporting source documents.
CMG plans to expand Omni Income across additional investor technology and incorporate investor guidelines directly into the platform for products without an income calculation API.
