 » Best Benefit Ever: New Partnerships Bring Fresh Perks to Bankers

**What’s the benefit?** For the [Mortgage Bankers Association (opens in a new tab)](https://www.mba.org/)
, when it comes to forming partnerships, the more the merrier. MBA has teamed up with [Fannie Mae (opens in a new tab)](http://www.fanniemae.com/portal/index.html)
, [Capital Markets Cooperative (opens in a new tab)](https://www.capmkts.org/)
, and [The Mortgage Collaborative (opens in a new tab)](http://www.mortgagecollaborative.com/)
 to provide several [new benefits (opens in a new tab)](http://www.realestaterama.com/2015/05/18/mba-announces-new-suite-of-member-benefits-ID027059.html)
 to member companies. They range from discounts on Desktop Underwriter fees to reduced seller/servicer application fees from [Fannie Mae (opens in a new tab)](http://www.realestaterama.com/2015/05/18/mba-announces-new-suite-of-member-benefits-ID027059.html)
 to reduced membership rates for those organizations.

**Why it works for members:** By joining with three industry leaders, MBA has broadened the tools, options, and opportunities available to members, whether they’re interested in financial, educational, or business-related assistance. “MBA is proud to be partnering with key industry organizations to bring our members first-class benefits and services,” President and CEO David H. Stevens [said in a statement (opens in a new tab)](https://www.mba.org/members/member-center/new-benefits)
. “MBA members will benefit from the array of cost savings, products, and services offered by our new partners.”

**Other perks:** Along with the slew of new partnership benefits, MBA members will continue to enjoy their [preexisting perks (opens in a new tab)](https://www.mba.org/members/member-center/member-resources)
, which include access to exclusive forecasts, research, an online membership directory, and networking groups.
