What We Do
The secondary market for mortgages accounts for over $1T in annual volume and impacts 20% of GDP. Yet, the pricing and loan trading of mortgages is still often done with antiquated technology, excel spreadsheets, phone calls, and physical paper. Billions of dollars are lost to inefficiency and mistakes.
Polly is transforming the mortgage industry with its modern, data-driven capital markets ecosystem that includes an advanced Product & Pricing Engine (PPE), Loan Trading Exchange, Analytics Platform, and Partner Platform. Our mission is to help capital markets and secondary teams operate smarter, more efficiently, and more profitably with best-in-class, end-to-end technology that is configured for each of our customers’ unique workflows and business needs.
