Mortgage Bankers & Loan Correspondents

Mortgage Bankers & Loan Correspondents

Mortgage Bankers & Loan Correspondents (SIC 6162) originate, underwrite, and service residential and commercial mortgages, as well as arrange warehouse lines and secondary-market sales for banks, credit unions, REITs, and institutional investors. Core services include loan origination, rate-locks, servicing, securitization support, and correspondent lending programs that let smaller originators fund loans under larger platforms. Typical customers range from first-time homebuyers and property investors to corporate borrowers and mortgage aggregators. The industry operates under intense regulatory oversight, including consumer-protection rules from the CFPB, capital and liquidity expectations, anti-money-laundering controls, and evolving standards around fair lending and data privacy. Key risks span credit quality, interest-rate and prepayment volatility, funding and liquidity constraints, cybersecurity, and growing scrutiny of climate and geographic concentration exposures. In 2024–2025, higher-for-longer rates, tighter credit, nonbank dominance, and AI-driven underwriting and servicing automation are reshaping profitability and competition.
