Mortgage Capital Trading - MCT

AI just moved from the sidelines to the trading desk: https://mct-trading.com/blog/pike-creek-hedge-ex*****on/

In a live mortgage pipeline, Pike Creek Mortgage Services, Inc. used MCT’s Atlas AI to analyze their position, identify the trades needed to bring coverage back to optimal, and execute those trades inside client-controlled parameters.

That included a $3 million TBA routed to a competitive auction across all dealers, plus two $500,000 trades routed to selected dealers. Within seconds, each trade was filled and confirmed inside MCTlive!®.

For secondary marketing teams, this is the important part: the automation did not replace oversight. It worked within the guardrails Pike Creek had already defined.

Watch the video to see how Atlas AI is moving from trade recommendation to trade ex*****on in mortgage capital markets.

Byte Software® and MCT recently announced an enhanced data integration designed to streamline secondary marketing for mortgage lenders. The updated integration leverages a modern Byte API to improve the speed, reliability, and scope of data exchange between Byte's LOS and MCT's platform, giving mutual clients faster access to accurate capital markets ex*****on.

Loan data flows seamlessly from Byte into MCT's platform, and post-commitment data, including loan sale commitments executed on MCT Marketplace®, is written back to Byte automatically for accurate recordkeeping and efficient loan delivery.

“Prudent hedge management starts with reliable data. MCT’s direct connection to the Byte database makes it very simple for customers to engage their services.”
- Mark Todd, EVP of Sales & Client Services, Byte

This enhancement reflects both companies' shared commitment to innovation and efficiency in mortgage banking. By transitioning to a modern API architecture, lenders gain faster data synchronization, improved field-level control, and a more reliable connection that scales with their needs; helping them protect margin and execute with confidence in today's cost-pressured market.
