Self-Declared PEP Option Added for Co-Applicants The application process now includes a PEP toggle for co-applicants, ensuring the declaration is saved correctly within each deal. PEP declaration toggle shows for co-applicants.
Previously, only the primary applicant could declare PEP, but now co-applicants can also do so, improving accuracy and compliance. This works whether the co-applicant is added or invited to the deal. PEP declaration captured in notes for applicant and co-applicant. Enhanced Document Search in Client Portal The Add Document list now includes documents under the category of “Other”, enabling users to request documents from this category. Category of “Other” displayed in the Add Document list
Add Document(s) has a search field to look for specific documents to request, streamlining document management Searching for “lett” displays only the documents that have “lett” included in their title. Increased Upload Size Limit on Client Portal Documents up to 35MB can now be uploaded to the client portal, increased from the previous 20MB limit. This allows clients to upload larger files on their document portal Warning advising of the 35MB upload limit Validation for Minimum Down Payment on Insured Mortgages Scarlett deal validations will now notify agents when the down payment does not meet the minimum requirement for an insured mortgage. This ensures agents are aware and are properly including insurance premiums in their deal qualification Improved MPP Document Upload Handling MPP document upload now updated to fix an issue where Manulife did not receive uploaded forms due to filename duplication. The update appends a unique identifier to each file upon upload, ensuring MPP receives all documents correctly. Two documents uploaded were given unique file names so they do not overwrite each other
Product: Scarlett Origination
Formerly known as Scarlett Mortgage.
Added Default Email Content for Document Requests When requesting documents from clients through the Applicant Portal, agents have full control over the template and email content of this message. In case agents do not want to customize this message, Scarlett will now automatically include a clear default message in the email subject & body. Additional Details Added to FINTRAC Error Report When a Document Verification Service (DVS) check through Equifax fails, error messages will now display detailed explanation to help agents quickly identify the reason for the failure and the required resolution. Updated ‘Written Service Agreement’ Forms for Alberta: This update delivers revised versions of the three Alberta Written Service Agreements for Borrower, Intermediary, and Lender.
These forms now auto-fill deal information and include new editable fields, making them faster and easier to complete. Upload of MPP Insurance Documents Previously, some uploaded documents submitted to Manulife Protection Plan (MPP) were not received due to formatting issues in the file name. Scarlett now automatically adjusts file names in the background, ensuring every uploaded document is delivered to Manulife without delays or technical hiccups. Document Request Email Link Now Opens Document Collection Page When applicants receive a document request email the link will now open the Document Collection page of the deal, rather than their main dashboard of all current and past deals.
With this update, clients do not have to select the correct deal from their dashboard, eliminating confusion and allowing them to access the requested document list immediately. This makes the process faster and more intuitive.
Export Deal Notes to PDF This update gives agents a quick and professional way to print/share deal notes – improving documentation and compliance tracking.
A new “Export to PDF” button has been added to the Notes section of every deal. When selected, the system will generate a PDF containing all internal notes logged on the deal. Select Agent Profile When Generating Forms This update adds a new dropdown that allows agents with multiple profiles to select the appropriate Agent Profile when generating forms – ensuring the correct profile details are automatically filled in. FINTRAC – New Incoming System Notifications (IDV Completion) A new system notification has been added to alert users when an applicant completes their third-party ID verification for FINTRAC compliance.
How it works:
Under Email Accounts → Incoming System Notifications
A new toggle option is now available:
“FINTRAC – Third Party ID Verification Completed” When an applicant completes the ID verification (via Equifax or VeriFast), an email notification will automatically be sent to the assigned notification recipients.
This ensures agents are instantly informed when FINTRAC ID verification is complete. Clients Now Able to Request HELOC on the Application Agents can now capture client interest in a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) directly within the Client Application process for Purchase & Refinance Option.
A new setting “Ask for HELOC Product” is now available under App Settings 3.0:
Agents can choose to:
Show or Hide the question Set it as Optional or Required A new question has been added at the end of the Interview section:
“Are you interested in applying for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?” If the applicant selects ‘YES’,
HELOC Flag is Enabled in the application created on Scarlett MTG: The response is automatically logged in the deal’s Notes section Request Document(s) Update in Leads & Integration with App 3.0 The Request Documents tool within the Leads module has been upgraded to fully match the App 3.0 experience – giving agents a modern, seamless document collection workflow directly from a lead profile.
How it works:
Under any Lead → Documents tab, agents can now access: Tools → Request Document(s) Select ‘Request Document (s) 3.0’ tab → click on ‘Add Document(s)’ will open the list of documents (mirrors the layout, behaviour and flexibility of document request within Apps & Deals) Once a document request is sent from the lead, the applicant will see it in their App 3.0 portal under a new section called ‘Future Application Document(s)’
This allows clients to submit documents securely – even before starting a formal application – ensuring all uploaded files are stored in one unified experience. Any documents uploaded by the applicant will appear in the
Request Document(s) 3.0 interface
Sync to the Documents tab under the lead profile History Tab Added to Request Documents A new “History” tab has been added to the Request Document(s) window in the Application Portal, making it easy for agents to track all document requests. Increased Agent Control over Dashboard Tiles Details Agents can now show or hide the following:
Purpose
Interest Rate
Rate Type
Term Agents now have more control over what their clients see in the App 3.0 dashboard. A new Dashboard Tiles section has been added under App Settings 3.0 → Application Settings, allowing agents to choose which key details are visible on the client-facing tile.
Label change for Document(s) Request function under Applicant Improvement to the Document(s) Request feature in the Applicant Portal to give agents more flexibility and improve clarity for clients:
New “CC” Option:
Agents can now add a CC (carbon copy) email address when requesting documents from applicants for better tracking & follow-up
Labels for Sender and Recipient(s) have been updated to improve clarity:
The Request Type options were revised as follows:
“From Applicant” is now “Request from Applicant”
“From Third Party” is now “Request from Third Party”
The Applicant(s) field has been renamed to “To” Rules update for the interview selections “Renewal” and “Refinance” This new rule refines the application flow for refinance and renewal options, creating a more efficient and focused experience for clients.
The change is as follows:
For Refinance Application: – The Realtor section has been removed For Renewal Application: – Both the Realtor & Solicitor sections have been removed Login page updated function – Start Application button New enhancement improves how Scarlett handles returning applicants on the App 3.0 login page to avoid confusion and accidental duplicate applications. Returning applicants often clicked the Start Application button when attempting to review or update an existing file, which unintentionally created a new application instead of continuing their existing one.
With this update:
First time users: {email address or phone number is not linked to any existing application under the agent’s App 3.0 link} will be directed to the first page of interview section to start a new application Existing users: {email address or phone number already used to login the agent’s App 3.0 link} will now be redirected to their own dashboard, where they can continue an existing application, action documents or start a new application DocuSign enhancements This update introduces several enhancements to the E-Sign Request experience, giving agents more control and flexibility when managing e-signature documents:
Resend Expired Links: Agents can now easily resend an expired signature request link directly from the E-Sign Request page, making it simple to keep the process moving if a client misses their first opportunity. Copy Envelope: A new “Copy Envelope’ option has been added, allowing agents to quickly duplicate an existing e-sign package without starting from scratch.
Edit Envelopes: Agents now have the ability to edit an envelope even after a document has been opened, as long as its status is not marked Completed. Flexible Download Options: A new download window allows agents to choose exactly which components to download from completed or signed files. FINTRAC – Add “Import” function to Equifax PEP & Sanctions report This update introduces the ability to import results from the Equifax PEP & Sanctions screening within Scarlett deal.
Once the Equifax PEP & Sanctions report is retrieved, an Import button will appear, which can be used to auto-fill relevant FINTRAC fields, helping reduce App Settings 3.0 – New feature to edit Security Code content Scarlett now allows customization of the verification code email, giving agents more control over client communication during the App 3.0 process. The subject and body of the verification email template (both English & French) can be customized by clicking the “Customize” button in the App 3.0.
New Login Page for App 3.0 to capture Applicant’s details earlier A new enhancement was released for App 3.0’s Login page to capture an applicant’s first name, last name, and their contact details (email address or phone number) upfront. This allows Scarlett Origination to capture a new mortgage application even earlier than before. As soon as an applicant completes login verification (via their email or phone number), even before the Application’s interview stage is completed, a new Application is created under the Work-In-Progress tile on your Deal Dashboard. This will ensure you never lose a lead and always have the opportunity to follow up on every application that is started through Scarlett Origination, no matter where your client leaves it. Purpose-built access for a streamlined experience We’ve refined the way clients access their Application Portals to provide a more intuitive experience and ensure they’re always in control of their journey. Clients now have two clearly defined options:
Start Application – Initiates a brand-new mortgage application from scratch.
Log In – Opens the client’s portal, where they can view or continue existing applications, review or manage document requests, and view Mortgage Summary Pages.
This enhancement creates a clear distinction between starting fresh and continuing an in-progress file. It also improves consistency in how clients interact with their application journey — especially when they have more than one open application.
Tip: If a client is returning to continue an existing application, they should click “Log In” (top right). App 3.0 Settings page – additional options available To accommodate these new features, some additional options were added to the App 3.0 settings page giving agents the ability to control and modify their Application’s content and appearance on the client’s view of the App Login Page. You’ll find a list of all the new settings available below:
Login Page Image – giving the agent control over which available images to display
Modify Page Title (EN & FR)
Modify Consent Checkbox Language (EN & FR)
Show / Hide Disclosure
Show / Hide Copyright
Adding Company Logo (FR) Along with these new settings is also the ability to modify the text displayed to your client’s when they reach the “Add Co-Applicant” and “Invite Co-Applicant” stage of their Application. Splitting the Interview section and adding Subject Property information as a separate step This change splits the Subject Property details from the Interview Section of the client’s Application flow so that it becomes a defined aspect of the application and is easier to find and refer to after the fact. Just like before, the Subject Property details will only appear if the client has selected the appropriate fields in the Interview Section.
Leads Add Referred By to Filter A new “Referred By” filter has been added to the Leads section. New Form for Newfoundland and Labrador A new Mortgage Disclosure And Suitability Form has been added under ‘Newfoundland and Labrador’ in the Generate New Form section for users. New Incoming System Notifications (Deal Assigned to me – As Agent on deal) If enabled in their settings, Agents will now receive an email notification whenever a new deal is assigned to them by another Scarlett user. Add Participant Status in Deal Filter & Add Additional Status Field in Application Report Participant Status (Active or Inactive) has been added as a new filter option and is now available across other areas of the Scarlett Origination Platform. Bulk Status Update & Bulk Agent on Deal change for list view Users can now select multiple deals to add those deals to a custom Pipeline, change the status of those deals, or re-assign the Agent On Deal for multiple deals at once directly from their Deal Dashboard while in List-View using the new Bulk Actions menu. Lender Submission – Other lenders (Override the permission) This change allows agents without standard submission permissions to create manual submissions using the “Other” lender option. The option to submit a deal will only appear when these users have selected the “Other” lender option. Add Applicants Assigned to Mortgage in History Assigning & unassigning applicants from a mortgage is now tracked and accounted for within the deal’s History tab. Auto-Doc – Rename the “Category” as Owner Occupied / Second Home Other Properties Previously, there was not a clear Auto Doc category for Second Home Properties. So, the Owner Occupied Auto Doc category has been re-named to “Owner Occupied / Second Home Other Properties”. If a property’s Occupancy status is set to Owner Occupied, Owner-Occupied & Rental, or Second Home Occupancy, then Auto Docs will populate documents based on this category. Permission to View Deal currently does not support viewing Lender Submissions / Responses This update improves how permissions work on the Lender Submission page to better match user roles.
Users with View Deal access will now be able to view submission response details. Users with Create/Edit Deal access will continue to have full access (view, edit, delete, & add manual responses). Create a search function for automations A search bar is now available at the top of the Automation & Workflow module to help users quickly find any automation they have previously configured. Flinks page translate to French When a user has set their Scarlett Origination language preference to French, the Flinks Bank Statement portal sent to their clients will be translated to French upon receipt. E-Sign – Add Delete Function The update adds more control over e-signature workflows with the ability to delete e-sign envelopes when needed. A user can delete e-sign envelopes if:
The signing package is still in Draft and has not been sent
The envelope is sent, but neither party has begun signing (all sides in Pending) Fintrac – Generated PDF Report: Download or Upload in English and French The update allows users to generate then download or upload FINTRAC compliance reports in either English (EN) or French (FR), depending on their requirements. Activity Page – Additional fields to be displayed before “Show More” This update has improved the activity creation experience by bringing the most important fields front and center. Users will now see the following fields immediately, without needing to click the “Show More” button. Replication of the Notes Tab inside a Scarlett deal The Notes tab is now available in two spots – amongst the top module items and within the lower deal sections. Scarlett 2FA – Display Method and masked information Users can now see which 2FA method update this at any time through their Two-Factor Authentication Settings. Add Calculators to App dropdown & Hamburger Menu menu This update adds calculators directly within a deal. Users can run calculations while working on a deal without needing to exit that deal, keeping everything in one place for a smoother workflow. FINTRAC / Equifax – Update PEP & Sanctions details in PDF The Equifax PEP & Sanction PDF report now displays more detailed information when there’s a positive match for PEP (Politically Exposed Person) or Sanctions screening.
Fintrac Phase 2 Enhancements Borrower ID Verification – Borrower Type (Person) We have made an Enhancement to the borrower section for ID verification to capture additional data fields and to ensure a smoother audit process.
a. Government Issued Photo ID
Agents can now easily confirm the identity of an applicant or borrower with a simple click by selecting the verification method from a dropdown menu or entering the client’s data manually. The verification options include:
I. In Person, Live video or scanned copy of ID – Agents can ‘manually’ input the client’s details in the provided fields.
II. IDV/DVS Software Services – Choose ‘Request ID Verification’ to select a vendor and request ID verification through their services. III.

PSA Screening (PEP, Sanctions List & Adverse Media) Agents can check to determine if their client is on any PEP or Sanctions list. Tags are displayed based on the Agent’s selections. a. Screen Applicant
Clicking the “Screen Applicant” button opens a popup, where agents can select a service to screen the applicant. b. Import

Deal Integration with Scarlett Origination When CMA triggers a webhook with deal information, Scarlett Origination receives the webhook and creates a new deal in Scarlett and it is tagged as “CMA”. Lead Integration with Scarlett Origination When a new lead is created in Scarlett it is tagged as “CMA”, and an email notification is sent to the agent. The webhook triggers Scarlett Origination to create a new lead.
When a lead and deal are created together, they are automatically displayed on the leads page under Deals tab. Deal creation and updates are captured in the History page in Scarlett Origination. Integration of Canadian Mortgage Application with Scarlett Origination This integration aims to automate the creation of leads and deals in Scarlett Origination through webhooks triggered by agents using the Canadian Mortgage Application (CMA). Scarlett Origination agents can copy the webhook URLs generated in Scarlett Origination via the Scarlett settings page and paste them into the CMA Application for both leads webhook and deals webhook to enable lead or deal creation in Scarlett.

Modern template.
Traditional template. Both the Modern and Traditional template designs offer additional features, including the ability to select their profile color/brand colour to customize buttons and icons in the email template. Compounding Period Field Added to Manual Lender Response We have added a new field, “Compounding Period,” to the manual lender response created by agents after a lender submission. This allows agents to modify the Compounding Period set in the application from the Manual Response function, without needing to change it within the application itself. This change may be reflected in the document(s) generated when a response is accepted. Incoming Call and SMS History Agents who have set up their Twilio accounts, can view incoming and outgoing SMS messages relating to their applicants on the communication page for specific leads or deals. All SMS logs are captured in the “Incoming Call and SMS History” section of the SMS History tab. This includes SMS logs that are not linked to a specific lead or deal. FINTRAC Equifax Integration FINTRAC now includes a “Screen Applicant” Option. This provides the User with the ability to select from three available options to aid in screening their applicant(s).

This enhancement allowed agents to access up-to-date information promptly, enabling seamless management of appointments, tasks, and schedules. Introducing Activity Status Options In the Activities module, we included “Done – Successful” and “Done – Unsuccessful” statuses in addition to the “Open” status.
