Residential Credit Solutions obtained approval from the Government National Mortgage Association to issue and service single-family mortgage-backed securities programs.

The deal greatly expands RCS's servicing and sub-servicing platform for issuers and investors.

RCS CEO Dennis Stowe said the approval "provides an opportunity to expand our servicing and sub-servicing offerings to issuers and investors providing assistance to a broader constituency of homeowners."

The national mortgage investor, issuer and servicer currently manages $5 billion in performing and nonperforming residential mortgage loans with 225 employees in three offices across the nation.

The Fort Worth-based firm is already considered a high-touch special servicer and is approved with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

More In Servicing

The sky is not completely falling at servicing shops across the United States, despite a new report from the National Mortgage Monitor, which shows some of the nation’s top five servicers failing to meet loan modification documentation timelines and single-point-of-contact requirements.

Recent servicing compliance tests applied to the nation’s top financial institutions resulted in five test fails among top mortgage servicers, including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo, according to Joseph Smith, monitor of the National Mortgage Settlement.
