MPF Government
 
The MPF® Government product provides an alternative to holding loans insured or guaranteed by government agencies in portfolio or selling them to other secondary market investors.
With the MPF Government product, the risks associated with financing loans insured or guaranteed by Government Agencies (Government Loans) are shared with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to maximize comparative advantages. With MPF Government, members market to borrowers, obtain the insurance or guarantee, and may choose to service fixed-rate residential Government Loans or take advantage of our servicing released option for FHA, VA, and RHS Section 502 loans through Colonial Savings, F.A.

  • Values the income derived from originating and servicing Government Loans;

Would you value the efficient secondary market execution and operational ease of our delivery system?
Because of the cooperative nature of the FHLB System, we are able to offer competitive pricing to our members for Government Loans. The FHLB manages the liquidity, interest rate, and prepayment risks of the loans. The member can choose to retain servicing and is then responsible for and bears the risk of unreimbursed servicing expenses (which is comparable to GNMA servicing requirements.) Or, the member can choose to sell the servicing to Colonial Savings and receive a competitive SRP. The combined effects of our competitive pricing, your servicing expertise, and an attractive SRP structure distinguishes the MPF Government product as an alternative to other options available in the marketplace today.

For depository institutions, there is no leverage capital or risk-based capital requirement for loans sold under the MPF Government product.*

A recent HUD audit along with USAP may be required for member participation in the MPF Government product.

*The FHLB is not providing accounting or legal advice with respect to the accounting treatment of MPF® Program assets and liabilities. The participating member is expected to consult with its own accountants and attorneys for advice on this matter.
