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.
