Freddie Mac Loan Assignment (FMLA) Service in Encompass 360 enables correspondents to share data and documents across the loan manufacturing process – from underwriting through loan delivery – with aggregators. Lenders assign a loan or loans to a specified aggregator to share loan data and documents. The aggregator can then retrieve data and documents specific to that loan directly from Freddie Mac.
