Electronic Guidebooks (EGB)

Purpose

An Electronic Guidebook (EGB) fully describes the internal business requirements that need to be published to the relevant distribution channels in order to gather and transmit a complete Credit Application.

Content

The EGB standard covers three general areas:

• a description of the data required by the lender and how each element maps back to the relevant LIXI 2 Transaction Standard;
• a definition of how the lender expects to see both on-screen and print forms (layout, order, field names etc); and
• rules about the product and the submission of an application including various validation rules.
