Best Efforts Delivery Commitment

Best Efforts Delivery Commitments are available under all of the MPF Xtra product offerings. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) PFIs are able to take advantage of the MPF Xtra product, which offers:

  • The transfer of interest-rate and prepayment risks as well as the credit risk of the associated loans to an investor 
    • Delivery Commitments under a Best Efforts option for individual loans, with no pair-off fees if loan does not close 
    • Retention of the servicing rights and servicing fee income, preserving the ability to cultivate and maintain

Who Should Take Advantage of this Option?

MPF Xtra Best Efforts Delivery Commitments are for any seller that is actively engaged in mortgage lending in its community, has a high regard for the value of customer relationships, and seeks to more effectively manage its origination pipeline. If the associated loan closes, you must deliver that loan under the Delivery Commitment; however, there is no pair-off fee assessed if the loan does not close and the Delivery Commitment expires. You gain greater access to secondary market liquidity and minimize the associated interest rate risk due to market changes.

You continue to have the option of manually underwriting the loans or obtain access to Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter (DU). Utilizing DU reduces a PFI's loan origination representations and warrants to the investor. PFIs may utilize DU Validation Services (income, employment, and asset validation) and property inspection waiver features.

Benefits

  • Receive a competitive execution with delivery flexibility
  • Enhance pipeline management tools
  • Reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations

Remittance Options

Actual/Actual Remittance features an investor reporting and remittance option similar to agency actual/actual and a competitive up-front price. This option is structured so that Servicers wire or ACH funds to the FHLBank Chicago's non-interest bearing custodial account and deposit funds by 2:00 C.S.T the day following the receipt of principal and interest payment net of servicing fees. Servicers will find the actual/actual remittance particularly attractive if they are knowledgeable in actual/actual investor reporting and they value the ease of operation, they value the up-front price benefit and they are knowledgeable in actual/actual investor reporting.

Characteristics
  • Remittance Amount – Actual P&I collections, less a servicing fee
  • Accounting Cut-Off Date – 22nd of each month or prior business day if 22nd falls on the weekend or holiday
  • Investor Reporting – Daily     

  • Remittance Frequency – The Servicer must deposit all funds into their designated P&I Custodial Account by 2:00pm Central Standard Time the next Business Day following the Servicer’s receipt of the funds.

Requirements
  • Non-interest bearing custodial P&I account maintained at the FHLBank Chicago. Note: Under MPF Xtra the PFI is to deposit the P&I funds into a clearing account at their institution and immediately remit the funds into their account at FHLB Chicago.  
  • Electronic investor-reporting (using either an Excel or ASCII file)
  • Access to the MPF Master Servicer's secure website, ServicerConnect®
