Training Overview

This training provides Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) guidance through the process of origination, processing, underwriting, closing, selling, delivery, and servicing the loan under the MPF® Traditional program.

Keep in mind:

  • You are responsible to originate, process, underwrite and close in your institution’s name, following standard secondary market procedures and the MPF Guides.
  • The MPF Program requires the use of agency (Fannie/Freddie) documents for origination through closing.
  • Review and familiarize yourself with the MPF Guides.
  • Review important program timeframes.

Tip: There are several MPF websites available to you. Learn more

Tip: If you find an MPF closing package within your doc prep system, know this was not created or approved by the MPF Program.

Your interaction with MPF in the loan process includes:

  • Providing loan information to MPF via Loan Presentment using one of the two options available to you. This process provides you with your credit enhancement (risk score).
  • Pricing and locking the loan using the eMPF website.
  • After disbursing loan proceeds and prior to price expiration, you will sell MPF the loan using the eMPF website. 
  • The custody folder is to be delivered to and certified by the MPF Document Custodian within seven calendar days of purchase by MPF.
  • You will monitor the custody reports to be sure the loan is certified, making corrections as necessary.
  • As a servicing PFI you will keep the servicing file.
