What is loan servicing?
A-Loan servicing is the process of the lender making a loan to a borrower. This term
is only used in regards to mortgages.
B-Loan servicers are the people in an investment bank who packaged together many
mortgages into an MBS for selling to investors.
C-Loan servicers did the pre-qualifying of potential borrowers as commercial banks
could not keep up with the demand.
D-Loan servicers collect monthly payments and manage the paper work associated
with a loan, usually keeping a portion of the payments received.
