Introducing the AUS Access screen in BREEZE

With the new AUS Access screen in Plaza's BREEZE system, you can run DU^® and LPA^® at the same time and instantly generate a side-by-side comparison, allowing you to quickly evaluate the findings and determine what’s best for your borrower. Of course, you can still run DU and LPA separately if you prefer.
