The servicing fee. Mortgage bankers service loans owned by investors. The bankers collect a per-loan fee (servicing fee) from the loan's investors.

The servicing fee is calculated each time a payment is made and is deductible from the total payment due the investor. The actual fee is regulated by the investor according to loan type.
