Mortgage Banks
In short, mortgage banks are state-licensed organizations designed to service mortgage loans. Typically speaking, these entities utilize finances from secondary markets, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, because a mortgage bank does not collect income from deposits.
Mortgage banks exist in all sorts of sizes – some branch nationwide, whereas others operate locally. Their revenue basically comes from what is known as loan origination fees, and also from loan servicing fees, in the event they are acting as the servicer. Often times the mortgage bank will choose not to service the loan they have originated. Shortly after the loans are closed and funded, the mortgage bank can sell them to the second market, from which the mortgage bank is paid a service release premium.
