Fannie Mae operates in the U.S. housing finance system by purchasing mortgages from lenders, which helps provide them with the cash flow needed to offer more loans to consumers. The company buys mortgages from banks and financial institutions, holding some in its portfolio while packaging others into mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that are sold to investors. This process helps spread risk and ensures a steady flow of capital back into the housing market, promoting homeownership and rental opportunities. Fannie Mae earns revenue through fees for guaranteeing MBS payments and from interest on its mortgage portfolio. The company aims to facilitate access to affordable housing and is recognized for its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and community service.
