PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 7, 2025— Agile, a groundbreaking fintech bringing mortgage lenders and broker-dealers onto a single electronic platform, today announced a major upgrade to its Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) platform, delivering a fully transformed end-to-end workflow for MBS pool bidding. Created in collaboration with dozens of dealers and lenders, Agile’s new functionality eliminates the legacy inefficiencies of manual, disjointed processes and introduces a seamless, intelligent process for streamlined MBS pool bidding execution.
This powerful enhancement is tailored for lenders who actively trade on-the-run pools or hold Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae tickets—offering them unprecedented visibility, automation, and control across the entire pool bidding process.
“MBS pooling in the mortgage industry has long been a fragmented, manual, and outdated process,” said Greg Vacura, president of Agile. “Agile brings clarity, control, and efficiency to what was once a disjointed experience. MBS pooling on Agile is not just improved; it has been transformed to create a better MBS market for all participants.”
Agile’s redesigned platform features a four-stage intelligent workflow—Setup, Monitor, Award, and Finish—empowering lenders to manage both custom and multi-pool bids with ease. Through dynamic views, Excel import templates, pricing views, dealer timers, in-platform chat, and automated award processing, users gain unmatched efficiency from list post to final strike.
Users can also instantly access key metrics—such as dealer activity, bid participation, and historical trends—enabling faster, smarter decision-making without manual tracking or data manipulation. With built-in analytics, Agile makes it effortless to generate real-time performance data including cover and color.
By bringing together automation, real-time intelligence, and seamless communication, Agile’s redesigned MBS pooling workflow empowers lenders to execute faster, reduce risk, and achieve best execution—all within a single, modern platform.
