Incomplete files delay closings
Every missing pay stub is admin time you cannot bill and a submission you cannot make on time.
Functional
Pay stubs in email, bank statements in text, gift letters in a shared drive — nothing shows whether the file is complete before lender submission. PTD conditions arrive as a second chase.
Emotional
"What document do I send?" threads stretch for weeks. Self-employed income stories do not match pay-stub workflows. A deal accepted with mortgage not finalized a week before closing erodes trust.
Financial
Solo agents at micro-brokerages spend hours re-requesting blurry photos and password-locked PDFs. Renewals in fixed-rate windows add another doc wave.
Five steps to a complete borrower file
Pick a checklist, open a borrower file, collect via secure guest link (no account needed) or my-id.ca portal, track gaps with approve/reject, export for your LOS.
Pick a template
Build a reusable borrower checklist — purchase, refinance, self-employed, or first-time buyer workflow (you define the items).
Open a borrower file
Attach the checklist to the client record in Hivi-X.
Collect documents
Share the checklist; borrowers can upload via a secure guest link (no account needed — they verify email with a one-time code) or sign in to the my-id.ca portal; you can add files as they arrive from email.
Track the gaps
See completed vs outstanding items; approve or reject submissions before packaging.
Export the package
Generate a PDF summary for principal broker review or manual upload to your LOS/lender portal.
One tool, every deal type
From purchase A-lender files to principal broker oversight.
Purchase — A-lender
Photo ID, income (pay stubs / NOA), employment letter, down-payment proof, gift letter, property details, credit consent — tracked in one borrower file.
Refinance / renewal
Updated income, mortgage statement, property tax bill, appraisal if required, and renewal re-qualification package organized before lender upload.
Self-employed / BFS
T1 General, NOA, business financials, bank statements, GST/HST returns where applicable — checklist-driven instead of scattered email.
Private / alternative
Enhanced source-of-funds, investor disclosure support docs, and principal broker authentication trail in one exportable file.
Post-approval conditions (PTD)
Re-use checklist for outstanding lender conditions — conditions list as checklist items with missing-item tracking.
Principal broker oversight
Standardized intake across agents; exportable file index for principal broker review and brokerage file standards.
Document intake alongside your LOS
Not a Finmo, BOSS, or Filogix replacement — the layer before lender submission.
Reusable borrower checklists
Build purchase, refinance, and BFS intake checklists once; reuse per borrower.
Borrower file per deal
Documents scoped to each client, not scattered threads.
Missing-item tracking
Checklist progress plus submission states (todo / submitted / approved / rejected).
Item-level review
Reject blurry ID or mismatched pay stubs; borrower resubmits after rejection. Guest-link uploads also show automatic warnings; the borrower can replace the file or send anyway.
Automatic reminders
Borrowers on a guest-link checklist get up to three emails naming the documents still missing, before and after the due date you set.
Share checklist with client
Email borrower a secure link; they upload via guest link (no account needed) or my-id.ca portal.
Secure Canadian hosting
AES-256-GCM at rest; TLS in transit.
Self-hosted AI
Borrower PII not sent to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic.
Exportable PDF package
Organized file for principal broker or LOS upload.
Built for how Ontario mortgage agents actually work
Document collection is a core compliance obligation under FSRA supervision — not optional admin. FINTRAC's October 2024 reporting-entity status adds parallel KYC record-keeping. Hivi-X helps organize evidence; it does not file FINTRAC reports or replace brokerage compliance programs.
How Ontario agents collect borrower documents today
Hivi-X complements Finmo, BOSS, and Filogix — it does not replace lender submission.
| Capability | Email / text / Drive | Finmo / BOSS / Filogix | Hivi-X |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tracks missing intake documents | (in-platform) | checklist-centric | |
| Works if brokerage has no mandated portal | (messy) | ||
| Reusable agent-owned templates | brokerage-controlled | ||
| Item-level approve/reject before submit | varies | ||
| Lender submission / lender integrations | (by design) | ||
| Organized export for principal broker / LOS | PDF package | ||
| Secondary layer for renewals / private deals | |||
| Hosted in Canada / self-hosted AI | varies | ||
| One secure link, no login | varies | secure link (OTP) |
A mortgage agent sends borrowers one checklist for pay stubs, NOAs and down-payment proof, including the gift letter. The agent sees what is still missing before submission, and the principal broker reviews one PDF checklist report instead of an email thread.
