Features that are turned on by default in the point-of-sale

Pricing in the POS

Viewing Products

Within the POS there are 3 places that a borrower can see pricing, having pricing turned on in your POS is a great way to keep your borrowers engaged as they complete their applications.

  • Initial Pricing

    • This appears right after they complete the initial onboarding questions and before they hit the dashboard

  • Preliminary Pricing (only applicable for pre-approvals)

      • After a borrower selects an initial product, this will generate the pre-approval/qualification letter

  • Final Pricing

    • this will appear right before `Submit Application`

Rate Lock

  • Borrowers can request to lock their rate within the POS. This will trigger an email to go to the originator.

Self-Generating Pre-Approvals/PreQual Letters

  • Through the POS, borrowers can generate a pre-approval/prequal letter on their own, making it even easier for borrowers to get what they need faster!

  • The letter will automatically be available to be downloaded as soon as the product is selected within `Preliminary Pricing`

  • Companies that have this feature OFF - Sonar will hide the stage `See available loans` in the funnel

Pulling Soft Credit Automatically

  • By default, Sonar configured the POS to automatically pull soft credit, this is to help streamline the experience for both the borrower and the originator when the borrower applies.

    • Once soft credit is pulled, if there are any mortgages on the report - the borrower will be prompted to pair their liabilities later in the POS funnel to the REO.

  • NOTE: This feature will only work when the company has at least 1 active soft-credit connection. If you have this feature turned on but don't have a credit connection available the borrower will first be prompted for their SSN and then be prompted to select a credit range


Features that are turned OFF by default in the point-of-sale

Home Equity in the POS

  • Companies that are doing Home Equity loans can now add another option to their POS. When this feature is turned on, companies will see their first question like this

  • NOTE: HELOC/HELOAN functionality will always be available to access within the LOS

Optional Document Upload

  • If a company likes to start to collect initial conditions earlier in the POS funnel, this option is available. When this feature is turned ON, borrowers can start to upload documents through our secure portal as soon the borrower reaches "Dashboard"

Preventing Borrowers from Triggering TRID

  • Companies that are looking to prevent a borrower from completing a full trid application, you can hide certain questions.

    • Pre-approval / Purchase:

      • Street Address 1 (for the subject property)

    • Refinance:

      • SSN

        • Sonar will hide the question asking the borrower for their SSN and instead ask the borrower for a credit range

Auto Adverse

  • This feature will automatically adverse borrowers who come through the POS and have a credit score below a certain amount. When the borrower is adverse they will receive a adverse letter as well.

  • NOTE: Auto adverse requires a soft-credit connection to be active
