Context and Common Situations
- A borrower or vendor may try to add bank information in their portal, but required bank selections are missing. Missing Bank Names, routing numbers or transfer types must be added in LMS so borrowers/vendors can select them in the portal
Common issues include:
- Bank Name not appearing in the dropdown
- Bank Name appears, but the correct routing numbers or transfer types (ACH/Wire) are missing
- This process is not the same as adding borrower or vendor bank account details—this specifically updates the system-wide bank directory
