Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc.

TAM completely digitizes a formerly manual communication process to confirm time-sensitive TBA trades that were once largely phone-based. TBA trading, particularly with regional broker-dealers, is the last remaining secondary marketing function that relies on telephone communications, which TAM now successfully automates.
MCT developed TAM in collaboration with multiple lender clients and broker-dealers who participated in the testing and successful soft launch in early 2019. With the introduction of TAM, the mortgage industry now has a powerful TBA trading platform that allows broker-dealers to compete for a higher volume of trade requests, while lenders gain thanks to expansion and automation of the competitive bidding process.
"TAM is a seismic shift for the mid-sized lender - increasing execution, liquidity, and transparency, while connecting them digitally with their regional dealers for the first time," said Phil Rasori, COO at MCT. "The initial experience is showing that TAM will deliver a significant enhancement in execution for MCT clients."
Additional benefits of TAM include greater accuracy, increased speed, and a reduction of data entry errors. When using TAM all transactions are automatically recorded, creating heightened reliability and trackability of trades. TAM leverages a single database of record, which centralizes critical data and simplifies trade reconciliations. TAM integrates seamlessly with MCT's hedging and loan sale platforms or it can be utilized independently as a standalone solution.
The launch of TAM follows in the footsteps of MCT's wildly successful rollout of its award-wining Bid Auction Manager (BAM) whole loan trading platform, which encrypts and automates the bid tape process for lenders and investors to achieve best execution on loan sales.
MCT clients have been leveraging TAM to transact with a wide array of broker-dealers since the initial rollout earlier this year. Learn more about TAM's features, participating parties, and the Fannie Mae TBA Trade Desk connectivity by joining MCT's industry webinar on TAM to be held June 6, 2019.
