Loan Delivery Release Notes

Loan Delivery will introduce enhancements that provide additional transparency in the MBS loan delivery process and a selfservice model to handle exceptions real-time as they occur. These updates relate to the exceptions which occur postsubmission and may have previously required manual resolution with Fannie Mae’s Acquisitions Operations team.

Lenders will be able to cancel the request for certification on MBS loans after submission to bring the loan back to a Draft/Unsubmitted status for editing. No changes are required to current processes; we are giving lenders an additional option to correct data on a submitted MBS loan. Lenders may continue to delete the loan or the pool when data corrections are required.

There are no changes to the import and loan/pool submission process in Loan Delivery. More details, including a job aid, will be provided as we approach the rollout date.

Effective February 3, 2025, the Seller's Designation of Wire Transfer Instructions (Form 482) has been updated for sellers to provide Beneficiary Address (street, city, state, zip) information for whole loan purchases. This is a new requirement to conform to the Federal Reserve's ISO 20022 standards. The required beneficiary address is the address of the business entity receiving the funds.

In preparation to conform to the new ISO 20022 standards, Fannie Mae will update existing wiring instructions by March 3, 2025, using address information available in other Fannie Mae systems. If an address is unavailable, Fannie Mae will reach out to the Seller, Warehouse Lender or Disbursement Agent to gather an appropriate beneficiary address to be used. Delays in responding may cause funding delays due to wires being rejected. Fannie Mae will initially update the beneficiary address information for existing wiring instructions based on wiring instruction Receiver Type in Loan Delivery using the following methodology:

• If the Receiver Type is set to "Seller", Fannie Mae will use the address provided on the Lender Record Information (Form 582)
• If the Receiver Type is set to "Warehouse Lender", Fannie Mae will use the address provided at the time of the warehouse lender's registration (or the address most recently provided to Fannie Mae by the warehouse lender that is reflected in Fannie Mae's systems)
• If the Receiver Type is set to "Disbursement Agent", Fannie Mae will use the address provided at the time of the disbursement agent's registration (or the address most recently provided to Fannie Mae by the disbursement agent that is reflected in Fannie Mae's systems)
• If a Seller would like to update the beneficiary address, the updated Form 482 will need to be submitted after March 3, 2025

In accordance with ISO 20022, the beneficiary address will be on the wire details provided to the beneficiary bank.

Effective March 10, beneficiary address information is required on all cash wiring instructions. Cash wires may be rejected if the beneficiary address information is missing.

Additionally, pursuant to ISO 20022, the Beneficiary Bank Instructions (Financial Institution to Financial Institution Information - Tag 6500) will no longer be available on the wire details provided to the beneficiary bank. Fannie Mae will be appending the existing Beneficiary Bank Instructions into the Beneficiary Message (Originator to Beneficiary Information – Tag 6000) field.
