MCTlive! Integrated with Full Suite of Fannie Mae's PE Whole Loan APIs

Updated: October 11th, 2023

Dubbed MCT Rapid Commit^®, the new solution facilitates better, faster loan commitments with intelligent best execution capability for Fannie Mae sellers

UPDATE Jan. 23, 2020 – MCT is proud to announce that on December 18^th they became the first organization to connect lenders to Fannie Mae’s Loan Pricing API via its Bid Auction Manager (BAM^®) loan trading platform. Through the API connection, lenders gain instant visibility of live Servicing Marketplace® (SMP) pricing from each of their servicing partners for loan populations of any size directly within BAM. The API allows end users to retrieve Servicing Released Premium (SRP) pricing based on the loan details provided in the request and returns pricing for each approved SMP relationship with a single call. Following best execution analysis and selection of the winning buyers, all loans can be committed with a single click via MCTlive! Rapid Commit.

Since launching in 2017, SMP has seen strong growth, boasting 11 active servicing buyers, 6 of which have no advertised minimum volume requirements. SMP provides sellers with a competitive servicing released execution with all the benefits of a Fannie Mae relationship, and should be considered in every seller’s best execution toolkit. The new connection results in a faster, more convenient process for lenders selling to Fannie Mae and improved Mark-to-Market reporting.

UPDATE Sep. 26, 2019 – Last week MCT became the first organization to complete integration to the full suite of Fannie Mae’s Pricing & Execution – Whole Loan® APIs. This integration to Fannie Mae’s Manage Commitment API allows lenders to pair off, extend, and modify existing commitments directly within MCTlive! This unique integration dramatically enhances commitment management for secondary marketing managers. The new API extends MCTlive! Rapid Commit functionality, which intelligently completes product selection and delivery for all loans to investors or agencies with a single click.

“We’ve been surprised to find many lenders unaware of the advances in loan committing technology,” said Phil Rasori, COO of MCT. “These features are saving lenders hours of time every week and preventing potentially costly mistakes by eliminating manual data entry.”

MCT has a long history of first-to-market innovation and has closely collaborated with Fannie Mae to innovate with the purpose of solving problems for mutual clients. Read more about their technology collaborations below.

SAN DIEGO, Calif, Nov. 7, 2017 – Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced the release of new online functionality that automates the process of product selection and delivery of loan commitments directly to Fannie Mae for MCT’s lender clients. The new solution, which was developed as part of MCT’s ongoing technology collaboration with Fannie Mae, is called Rapid Commit™ and resides within MCT’s award-winning secondary marketing platform, MCTlive!™.

Fannie Mae’s Pricing & Execution – Whole Loan® (PE – Whole Loan) application is the industry-leading whole loan committing platform, providing ease of use, flexibility and certainty for sellers. Rapid Commit functionality retrieves pricing directly into MCTlive!, which in turn speeds up the committing process, ensures data integrity, and optimizes best execution for all commitments.

“We developed Rapid Commit to make our customers’ entire loan commitment process with Fannie Mae more efficient, providing automated, highly accurate best execution analysis that is instant and robust,” stated Phil Rasori, COO of MCT. “Working within MCTlive!, users leverage Rapid Commit to run initial best execution and determine that the loan meets Fannie Mae selling guidelines, followed by product-specific best execution that intelligently analyzes the optimal subset sizes and products to deliver as individual commitments.”

Last year MCT announced an exciting new integration with Fannie Mae’s technology that delivered real-time pricing from MCTlive! for the benefit of mutual lender clients. Rapid Commit further strengthens MCT’s collaboration with Fannie Mae and advances the integration of their complementary technologies.

Mr. Rasori added, “Rapid Commit enables a Fannie Mae specific best execution within MCT’s overall robust best execution process via a bi-directional exchange of real-time data that is completely automated between MCTlive! and Fannie’s Pricing & Execution – Whole Loan® web-based application. Previously, this analysis was a manual, laborious process but it is now completely automated – all with the simple click of a button. We look forward to working closely with Fannie Mae on business and technology initiatives.”
