PFI Conversation: The MPF Program Goes “Out of Their Way to Work with Us”
Gordon Zimmerman, President of Community Bank in Montana, recently shared with MPF in Focus his positive experiences partnering with the MPF Program.

New MPF Website is Easier to Navigate
The MPF Program is pleased to announce the launch of an updated website later this month.
Take a peek at the new layout.
 
Keeping Up with Quality Control: Online Assessment for PFIs that Sell Under the MPF Xtra® Product
As a result of the updated requirements for a PFI’s in-house quality control (QC) program, we are asking PFIs that sell mortgages under the MPF Xtra product to complete an online course and assessment that focuses on the pre-closing QC review process.
Find out what PFIs need to know.
 
Updated Quality Control Exception Report is a Time-Saving Tool
The MPF Program has recently enhanced the format of the Quality Control Exception Report. The new layout will now assist PFIs in quickly understanding and identifying issues at-a-glance on the QC reports. As a result, PFIs will be able to complete reviews faster and more efficiently.

Specifically, the updated report is separated by loan number and all issues are listed in order of severity. Additionally, the language describing the severity level of the defect now matches the industry standard. Please contact your MPF Bank representative with any questions.
 
Did You Visit us in Hawaii?
The MPF Program participated at several industry conferences during the first quarter of the year. Eric Schambow, Senior Vice President and Director of the MPF Program, was a featured speaker at the ICBA.
