There Is a Better Way: Batch Submission Boosts Efficiency and Accuracy
Every time you originate a loan, you record dozens of pieces of information on the borrower, the property, and the loan. To sell loans through the MPF® Program, PFIs must reenter each of those data points for every loan, taking care not to introduce mistakes in the process. Fortunately, it’s possible to submit multiple loans with minimal effort using the eMPF® website’s batch submission capability.

“A Great but Undertold Story”: A Conversation with Brad Meader and Dan Mahlum
After 11 years at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, Brad Meader, Manager, Mortgage Products Group, is a veteran of the MPF® Program. His colleague, Dan Mahlum, just joined the Bank as Vice President/Director of Mortgage Programs on January 1, 2016, but he’s no rookie; he’s worked with the MPF Program since its inception. MPF in Focus recently spoke with Brad and Dan about their experience with the program, FHLB Des Moines’ recent merger with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, and the challenge of uniting two districts at very different stages of MPF Program adoption.

Upcoming Webinars: Not Just for Operations Anymore
Julie Schneider, AVP
National Education Manager
FHLB Chicago
Last year, approximately 3,200 individuals took advantage of the MPF® Program’s complimentary webinars. This year, National Education Manager Julie Schneider hopes that number will grow as offerings are expanded to include more resources for sales staff such as mortgage loan originators. “In the past, the webinars have been geared more toward operational staff—mortgage processors, underwriters, servicing personnel, those who work behind the scenes,” says Schneider. “Now we're looking to increase the number of participants who can benefit by focusing on what PFIs can do to increase their business.”
