WHAT IS FANNIE MAE?

Fannie Mae is a government-sponsored enterprise chartered by Congress with a mission to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the U.S. housing and mortgage markets. Fannie Mae operates in the secondary mortgage market. Rather than making home loans directly to consumers, the company works with mortgage lenders to help ensure they have funds to lend to home buyers at affordable rates.

HOW DO CREDIT UNIONS BENEFIT FROM THIS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE?

Doing business with Fannie Mae – whether you sell loans for cash or pool loans into mortgage-backed securities – can increase your credit union’s income and liquidity while helping to manage risk. Under the Fannie Mae/Credit Union National Association affinity program, your credit union can take advantage of these benefits:

  • Innovative mortgage loan products and features
  • Special member pricing in the secondary market for whole loan sales to Fannie Mae
  • Discounted licensing and loan submission fees for Desktop Underwriter®, Fannie Mae’s state-of-the-art underwriting technology
  • Access to newsletters, announcements and free webinars that keep you up-to-date on changes in the industry
