Electronic Mortgage (eMortgage)

Electronic Mortgage (eMortgage)

A mortgage for which the promissory note and possibly other documents (such as the security instrument and loan application) are created and stored electronically rather than by using traditional paper documentation that has a pen and ink signature. Most (but not all) eMortgages typically consist of a paper security instrument and an electronic note. The terms "electronic mortgage," "electronic mortgage loan," "eMortgage," and "eMortgage loan" used in this Guide have the same meaning.
