Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset
Updated on September 6, 2013
Important Notice
Begin preparing now for the Phase 2 Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset (ULDD) implementation. Freddie Mac has a variety of tools and resources to assist you, including a Phase 2 ULDD fact sheet and a month-by-month calendar of important tasks.
The Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset (ULDD) supports the work to implement uniform loan delivery data standards and defines the data that we require at loan delivery based on loan type, loan feature or other business requirements. With the implementation of the ULDD Phase 1 in 2012, lenders are now providing Freddie Mac with more complete and accurate data. The data is at a more granular level, is standardized, and now has clearer definitions, providing lenders and Freddie Mac with a common understanding of the meaning of each data point. The end result is greater transparency that helps lenders gain a better understanding of our assessment of mortgage risk and purchase requirements on the loans they sell to Freddie Mac. With the enhanced transparency, lenders can originate and deliver loans with greater confidence, and ultimately, greater purchase certainty.
The ULDD Phase 2 takes us one step further, as we continue to eliminate special codes and replace them with more granular data. It’s an important next step as we help lenders improve loan quality while making business with Freddie Mac more efficient and transparent.
