Freddie Mac

We participate in the secondary mortgage market by purchasing mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities for investment and by issuing guaranteed mortgage-related securities, principally those we call PCs. The secondary mortgage market consists of institutions engaged in buying and selling mortgages in the form of whole loans (i.e., mortgages that have not been securitized) and mortgage-related securities. We do not lend money directly to homeowners.

MasterCard
Using a MasterCard payment card has become as easy and routine as switching on a light. However, behind this simple task lies a series of complex and intricate payment processes designed to keep commerce moving in the blink of an eye, around the clock and around the world. At the center of it all is the MasterCard Worldwide Network—seamlessly processing billions of transactions a year so that consumers, businesses and governments can purchase the things that matter most to them, whenever and wherever they want.
