MPF Xtra
 

The MPF® Program provides an alternative to holding fixed rate loans in portfolio creating additional liquidity opportunities for Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs).

With the MPF Xtra product, participating Federal Home Loan Bank PFIs are able to sell fixed-rate conforming loans into the secondary market, leveraging their FHLB membership to gain access to liquidity. Under MPF Xtra, PFIs of participating FHLBs can use the MPF Program to:

  •  Offer fixed-rate residential mortgage loans to their borrowers and deliver those loans into the  secondary market;
  •  Retain the servicing rights and servicing fee income, preserving the ability to cultivate relationships  to customers; and,
  •  Transfer the interest rate and prepayment risks as well as the credit risk of the associated loans to an investor.

Because the PFI does not retain credit risk for loans sold under the MPF Xtra product structure, there are no risk-based capital or credit risk collateral requirements for the PFI. Additionally, for depository institution members, there is no leverage capital requirement.

MPF Xtra offers PFIs of participating FHLBs an attractive alternative for selling first mortgage loans they originate, allowing them to take advantage of a product designed to transfer loan risks to the investor
