A new memo from Fifth Third notifies recipients that effective immediately (with a little time to fund the existing pipeline) that the bank is out of the Alt-A business entirely. And in a refreshing turn – all sales channels are affected. Retail and wholesale alike will lose Alt-A products previously offered by the “super-regional” bank.
Here’s a copy of the announcement:
