Mortgage Capital Trading’s Bulk Acquisition Manager™ Technology Achieves 100 Percent Investor Adoption

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that it has gained unprecedented industry-wide technology adoption among the investor aggregator community. MCT officially unveiled the Bulk Acquisition Manager(TM) (BAM) within its capital markets software platform, MCTlive!, in July of this year.

BAM centralizes and streamlines the entire process of packaging and securely transferring whole loan information and bids. The technology provides a web interface that enables lenders' bid tapes to be securely and efficiently delivered to approved buyers following best execution analysis in a centralized repository. Investors are lauding BAM as the most robust, easy-to-use, scalable, and secure bid tape management technology on the market, which are cited as the primary reasons for rapid investor adoption.

"We initially developed BAM to address the Nonpublic Personal Information (NPI) security risk associated with transmission of bulk bid tapes via email, but the efficiency gains and improved market color for both counterparties drove rapid adoption," said Phil Rasori, COO of MCT and architect of BAM. "MCT represents 30 to 40 percent of approved sellers for the average correspondent investor with about 1,200 bid tapes flowing through BAM every day. BAM is raising the bar for other bid tape management solutions, with one major investor already leveraging BAM to serve as their database of record for bulk bid tape transactions. BAM is well on its way to becoming the defacto standard in the mortgage industry."

BAM includes tiered user administration, putting decision-making about access to transaction data in the hands of lender clients and their investors. Overall, BAM is improving the industry's existing loan sale practices with quicker best execution pricing for bulk bid tapes, better communication and transparency, enhanced data security, greater organization and consistency, endless scalability, and optimization of the entire process from start to finish.

To make BAM's functionality conveniently integrate with existing processes, MCT established two different methods for investors to securely transmit bid tape files. This can be done by accessing MCTlive!'s secure browser-based user interface or via a Restful API (Application Programming Interface) which enables MCT to integrate with various loan exchange platforms and homegrown investor systems. To date, nearly all investors have elected to use MCTlive! due to its extreme ease of use, built-in metrics, and robust user administration.

Company officials at MCT say that plans are in progress to expand BAM and its user base, yielding even more improvements to management of the bid tape transfer process. Moving forward, investors, lenders, traders, account executives, and the bid tape market as a whole will realize additional benefits through feature development within MCTlive! and the Bulk Acquisition Manager.

Mortgage Capital Trading Introduces Bulk Acquisition Manager Secondary Marketing Tape Transfer Technology

SAN FRANSISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing technology firm, announced at the California Mortgage Bankers Association's (CMBA) annual Western Secondary Market Conference held in San Francisco, that it has released new secondary marketing technology to improve the industry's existing loan sale practices. Dubbed Bulk Acquisition Manager(TM) (BAM), the solution automates the process of packaging and transferring bulk loan bids, which benefits investors, lenders and MCT's team of mortgage loan traders.

The solution works by encrypting lender bid tapes so that they can be securely, seamlessly, and efficiently passed to investors for pricing and back into MCTlive!, the comprehensive capital markets software platform used by MCT staff and clients, where the tapes then reside in a centralized repository that can be easily organized and reviewed. The result is a much quicker pricing process for bulk bid tapes, greater data security, better communication between counterparties, process consistency for investors within their existing platform, and newfound efficiencies for MCT's traders.

Since correspondent whole loan investors often have unique bulk bidding processes, MCT has developed three different ways that investors can securely transmit bid tape files. Tapes can be uploaded via the browser-based user interface within MCTlive!, through SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), or by way of a Restful API (Application Programming Interface) that enables MCT to integrate with various loan exchange platforms and homegrown investor systems.

To ensure data integrity, MCT accesses lender data via integrations that were developed with their loan origination systems (LOS), the core system of record for lending entities. Each of the transfer methods are data encrypted to ensure security at all times.

"MCT has been realizing significant year-over-year growth and in talking with our investor community, we represent roughly 30 to 40 percent of the typical aggregator's client base," said Phil Rasori, COO of MCT. "As a result, we saw a need to develop a technology solution that helps our traders work more easily with our lender clients and effortlessly exchange bulk bid tapes with investors. BAM helps MCT scale as we continue to grow and makes things easier on investors by centralizing the acquisition process for the bulk bid channel."

MCT will be attending the CMBA Western Secondary Market Conference where it will officially unveil BAM. Contact the company to arrange a discussion time at the show regarding this new technology or for more information about MCT's hedge advisory services and award-winning secondary marketing software.

HousingWire Names Mortgage Capital Trading a 2017 HW TECH100™ Technology Provider for the First Time

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing technology firm, announced that it was designated a top 100 mortgage technology firm by HousingWire for the first time ever. The annual HW TECH100(TM) is designed to recognize the most innovative technology companies in the U.S. housing economy.

"The companies that make up the 2017 HW TECH100(TM) are the cream of the crop of the entire housing industry, from real estate to mortgage lending, servicing, and investment," said HousingWire Senior Financial Reporter Ben Lane. "These companies aren't just taking part in the housing industry's technological revolution; they're leading it."

MCT has traditionally been known as a leading pipeline hedging advisory firm but over the years it has successfully transitioned into a company that offers both extensive risk management advisory services and leading secondary marketing technology. In 2014, MCT officially launched MCTlive!, an award-winning web-based secondary marketing platform that was built by secondary marketing people for secondary marketing people. MCTlive! has been instrumental in the company experiencing unprecedented growth over the last few years.

More than 100 lenders have gravitated toward leveraging MCTlive!, accelerating the company's strategic transition into a technology-driven secondary marketing advisory firm. Entire secondary marketing departments have since come to rely on MCTlive! to efficiently manage their capital markets functions.

"We're elated to be recognized by HousingWire as a top 100 mortgage technology firm," said Curtis Richins, president of MCT. "We have developed a very unique business model that couples our extensive range of advisory services with robust capital markets technology. This combination has positioned us to continue capturing market share and to engage larger and larger lenders."

HousingWire states that the mortgage industry is leveraging technology like never before, streamlining processes across the spectrum of lending, servicing, investing and real estate. The combination of regulatory pressure and consumer expectations have set a high standard for efficiency and transparency, requiring a significant investment of time, money and talent to hit the right notes for both.

"The companies in the 2017 HW TECH100 cover the entire mortgage finance spectrum. There's hardly a corner of our industry that hasn't been transformed in some way, either by fintech startups focusing on a specific software need or legacy companies evolving to compete in the new environment," said HousingWire Magazine Editor Sarah Wheeler. "Now more than ever, these companies are delivering the innovation this industry needs to do its most important job: supporting the American Dream."

OpenClose and MCT Complete New Integration to Optimize Loan Hedge Positions for Lenders

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Independent Mortgage Bankers Conference - OpenClose(R) an enterprise-class, multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) provider, and Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing technology firm, jointly announced they developed an integration that eliminates manual intervention and streamlines the delivery of loan data to maximize hedging for lenders.

The integration works by automatically taking loan-level details that are originated and locked in OpenClose's LenderAssist(TM) LOS and then securely passing them directly to MCT to hedge. The entire process of obtaining critical data becomes very easy, with updates occurring every 15 minutes. This removes several steps in the data acquisition process, saving time, reducing errors and providing faster reporting.

"We worked diligently with the team at OpenClose to develop this connectivity between their LOS and our proprietary HALO hedging model, which now facilitates a much smoother, quicker way for us to obtain locked loan information from our mutual customers," said Chris Anderson, chief administrative officer at MCT. "We are continuing to expand our integration partner network in order to provide the best service and support for our lender clients. Over the past few years, MCT has significantly expanded our business services with technology being a key area, especially with the adoption of our web-based secondary marketing platform, MCTlive!"

The longer lenders are exposed to interest rate movements the more prone they are to have locked loans without hedge positions. As a result of the integration, MCT is able to hedge more frequently as opposed to having the lender manually send pipeline reports to them. The automatic updates are performed every 15 minutes which provides a tangible reduction in risk by shortening the time period between rate locks and hedge positions.

As it relates to lenders, there isn't anything that they have to do to enable the new integration. MCT performs the heavy lifting and all parties benefit from the resulting efficiencies gained. OpenClose and MCT worked closely together from a technology perspective to streamline the process.

"This integration saves my staff valuable time and transfers our data quickly and securely, ensuring that my hedge positions are always optimized," says Dan Beam, senior vice president of capital markets at Firstrust Bank. "Both OpenClose and MCT are forward-thinking companies that recognize the importance of investing in enhancements like this for the benefit of lenders."

"A key common thread between our organizations is an unwavering commitment to always provide excellence in customer support," said Vince Furey, senior vice president of lending solutions at OpenClose. "We are also like-minded in that we are both very selective about the organizations we partner with. OpenClose is pleased to expand our technology relationship with MCT."

About OpenClose:

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, OpenClose(R) is a leading multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) provider that cost effectively delivers its platform on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis.

OpenClose's core solution, its LenderAssist(TM) LOS, is completely engineered by OpenClose using the same code base from the ground up, thus avoiding the problems that often accompany assembling best-of-breed applications or acquiring disparate technologies in an effort to create an end-to-end platform.
