A New Secondary Market Outlet

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) offers the Mortgage Asset Program (MAP®) as a secondary market outlet for our members to fund mortgages and be competitive in offering fixed-rate mortgage loan products. MAP gives mortgage lenders an alternative to funding mortgages while allowing flexibility and transparency from both an operational and an economic perspective.

Key Features

• Simplified credit risk sharing structure with the added potential to be rewarded with fee income for strong loan performance
• No risk-based capital impact or collateralization requirements on loans sold
• Newly Released: Tiered pricing based on loan size for fixed 30-year delivery commitments.
