History and Evolution

The Mortgage Partnership Finance Program has evolved significantly since its inception. Its growth reflects the changing needs of mortgage lenders and the communities they serve.

1997

MPF Program Established

The MPF Program is launched to provide members of the Federal Home Loan Banks with a secondary mortgage market alternative that supports portfolio retention, borrower relationships, and a shared credit risk model.

Late 1990s–Early 2000s

Systemwide Expansion

The MPF model expands across the Federal Home Loan Bank System, enabling participating banks to offer MPF products to member institutions nationwide.

Mid-2000s

Risk-Sharing Model Differentiation

 The MPF Program formalizes its defining structure—allowing Participating Financial Institutions to retain a portion of mortgage credit risk in exchange for enhanced economics, aligning incentives and promoting prudent underwriting.

2010s

Product Diversification and Market Adaptation

The MPF Program expands beyond traditional executions with additional product options, including government and MBS-based executions, increasing flexibility for diverse lender business models.

2014-2019

Technology and Governance Enhancements

Investments in MPF systems, quality control, data transparency, and program governance modernize operations and improve scalability, oversight, and member experience.

2020

Market Stability During COVID-19

During COVID-19, the MPF Program provides consistent liquidity and execution certainty, reinforcing its role as a stable secondary market partner.

2020s

Housing Impact and Access to Credit

The MPF Program enhances pricing and eligibility features to support affordable housing, low- and very-low-income borrowers, and expanded access to credit, advancing the Federal Home Loan Bank System’s housing mission.

Community Lenders Share Their Experience

"The ability to originate loans and sell them through the MPF Traditional products without loan-level price adjustments gives us the flexibility to compete with other lenders. Sometimes members tell us they want to keep their business with our credit union but they’ve received a matching or even better quote than what we’ve initially offered. In these cases, the lack of LLPAs gives us the pricing flexibility we need to compete and continue to serve our membership without sacrificing profitability."

Daniel McLean

Vice President, Quality Control and Secondary Market Sales, Credit Union 1

"We appreciate the flexibility to either hold loans on our balance sheet until an opportune time or sell them immediately, with best efforts or mandatory lock execution—whatever market conditions require. In the current high-rate environment, having the ability to quickly move loans off the balance sheet in moments of market improvement has been especially helpful."

Russ Bernardo

Chief Lending Officer, OCCU

"As we’ve scaled up our mortgage operations, the MPF Traditional products have given TTCU the tools and resources to operate like a larger lender, with much greater flexibility in reporting requirements than other GSEs as well as the option to continue servicing our members’ loans."

Floyd Goode

Senior Vice President, Chief Lending Officer, TTCU Federal Credit Union

"Managing liquidity can be a challenge for lenders when interest rates rise. Texas Tech Credit Union originates a high volume of mortgages for our asset size, which means it’s important for us to sell and transfer loans promptly so we can turn around and provide loans to more members. With the MPF Traditional products, we’ve been able to complete this process quickly and easily, usually within 48 hours versus the seven to 10 days we’d expect with another investor."

Greg Couture

Mortgage Operations Director, Texas Tech Credit Union

"We’ve found the MPF Program to be a friendly introduction to the secondary market. The guidelines are exceptionally easy to follow, and gaining access to Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter® through the Program has made the process even smoother."

How to Join the MPF Program

 

Step 1: FHLBank Membership

Financial institutions must first become a member of their local Federal Home Loan Banks. Membership establishes access to FHLBank products, including the MPF Program (in available districts).

Step 2: MPF Program Eligibility Requirements

Prospective Participating Financial Institutions complete an eligibility review that may include financial condition, operational capacity, and mortgage lending experience to ensure they can meet MPF Program standards.

Step 3: Required MPF Program Agreements

Once eligibility is confirmed, the institution signs the necessary MPF Program agreements, which formalize participation and outline responsibilities for loan delivery, credit risk sharing (as applicable), and servicing.

Step 4: Complete Onboarding and Begin Delivering Loans

The institution receives onboarding support, system access (eMPF and related tools), training through MPF University, and guidance on delivery, underwriting, and servicing. After onboarding is complete, the institution may begin delivering loans through the MPF Program.
