Release Notes


Mercury Network 3.0 – January 07, 2014 Update

This update contains improvements throughout Mercury Network and VMP XSites.


New Features:

  • Total control over transaction fees
    We've removed median fees from Mercury Network to give you total control over who pays the transaction fees for the orders you place.  You can pay, or the vendor can pay.  It's completely up to you.  To learn more about this change, click here.
  • Built-in, worry-free compliance with new ECOA Valuations Rule
    We've automated the solution for the new regulations mandated by the ECOA to show your borrowers the necessary information and work through extra validation steps when reports are sent with the Send to Borrower tool in Mercury Network and DataCourier. 
  • Many Internet Explorer 11 issues resolved
    As many already know, Microsoft's update for IE11 caused thousands of compatibility issues for all kinds of software platforms.  We've tracked down and fixed most of the issues caused by IE11 in Mercury Network with this release.
