May ended with a BAM!

Originally launched to support existing MCT sellers during the 2020 pandemic liquidity crisis, BAM MarketplaceTM now welcomes new buyers and sellers as the world’s first truly open loan exchange between unapproved counterparties. BAM Marketplace connects sellers with would-be buyers, particularly agency-approved lenders within the MCT client base, without previous correspondent investing experience.

MCT firmly holds its position as the gold standard in best execution and moves one step closer to the ultimate goal – when every loan can be priced by every investor.
– Curtis Richins, President, MCT
