Impac Starts a Wholesale Division

Impac Mortgage Holdings, a former alternative-A giant that survived both the housing bubble and a New York Stock Exchange delisting, has launched a wholesale division, promising "pipeline transparency" and "industry innovation."

Moreover, according to lending officials and other sources, GMAC Bank is one of its warehouse providers.

At press time Impac and GMAC officials had not responded to telephone calls about the matter.

According to a wholesale rate sheet provided to National Mortgage News, Impac will fund Fannie Mae products.

Based in Irvine, Calif., Impac is managed by industry veterans Joe Tomkinson and Bill Ashmore.

The company was delisted by the NYSE a few years ago, but restructured and now trades on the American Stock Exchange. Its stock trades at just under $3 a share.

GMAC Bank is part of Ally Financial, which is majority owned by the U.S. government.
