Mortgage Documentation Specialist
M&T’s/WT Document Custodian
Document custodians provide critical services for loans owned or securitized, subject to eligibility criteria and operating standards. A document custodian must hold documents related to the pooled mortgages on behalf of FNMA/GNMA/FREDDIE for the life of the pool or loan package. Prior to submission of a pool or loan package for processing, it is the Issuer's responsibility to select an eligible institution to serve as document custodian. The document custodian works directly under the Issuer. While an Issuer may use different document custodians for different pools or loan packages, each pool or loan package must have only one document custodian.
As part of a comprehensive range of services and flexible, innovative products for institutional and municipal clients, M&T Corporate Trust Services offers document custody services to provide for the safekeeping of collateral files and related services. With our extensive experience as an agency-approved custodian, our document custody services include:
