Loan Servicing |
Loan Servicing The Company acquires servicing rights, and retains servicing rights related to certain of its sales or securitizations of residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, and other consumer loans. Servicing rights are capitalized by the Company as Loan servicing rights on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income earned by the Company on its loan servicing rights is derived primarily from contractually specified servicing fees, late fees, net of curtailment costs, and other ancillary fees.
Residential Mortgage Activities
The following tables summarize residential mortgage servicing activities:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in millions) | | Mar 31, 2025 | | Dec 31, 2024 | | | | UPB of residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio | | $ | 271,268 | | | $ | 273,412 | | | | | UPB of residential mortgage loans serviced for others, primarily agency conforming fixed rate | | 216,148 | | | 218,475 | | | | | Mortgage loans sold with recourse | | 142 | | | 146 | | | | | Maximum recourse exposure from mortgage loans sold with recourse liability | | 89 | | | 91 | | | | | Indemnification, recourse and repurchase reserves | | 43 | | | 44 | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of / For the Three Months Ended March 31, (Dollars in millions) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | UPB of residential mortgage loans sold from LHFS | | $ | 2,508 | | | $ | 1,763 | | | | | Pre-tax gains recognized on mortgage loans sold and held for sale | | 15 | | | 15 | | | | | Servicing fees recognized from mortgage loans serviced for others | | 154 | | | 147 | | | | | Approximate weighted average servicing fee on the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others | | 0.28 | % | | 0.28 | % | | | | Weighted average interest rate on mortgage loans serviced for others | | 3.68 | | | 3.59 | | | | |
The following table presents a roll forward of the carrying value of residential MSRs recorded at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in millions) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | | Residential MSRs, carrying value, January 1 | | $ | 3,430 | | | $ | 3,088 | | | | | | | | | | | Additions | | 53 | | | 30 | | | | Sales | | — | | | (1) | | | | Change in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions | | (49) | | | 77 | | | | Realization of expected net servicing cash flows, passage of time, and other | | (68) | | | (60) | | | | Residential MSRs, carrying value, March 31 | | $ | 3,366 | | | $ | 3,134 | | | | | | | | | | |
The sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s residential MSRs to changes in key assumptions is presented in the following table:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | | Range | | Weighted Average | | Range | | Weighted Average | (Dollars in millions) | Min | | Max | | | Min | | Max | | Prepayment speed | 6.4 | % | | 13.3 | % | | 7.4 | % | | 6.3 | % | | 11.2 | % | | 7.1 | % | Effect on fair value of a 10% increase | | | | | $ | (92) | | | | | | | $ | (89) | | Effect on fair value of a 20% increase | | | | | (179) | | | | | | | (172) | | OAS | 1.5 | % | | 12.2 | % | | 4.7 | % | | 1.8 | % | | 12.5 | % | | 4.8 | % | Effect on fair value of a 10% increase | | | | | $ | (68) | | | | | | | $ | (70) | | Effect on fair value of a 20% increase | | | | | (133) | | | | | | | (138) | | Composition of loans serviced for others: | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed-rate residential mortgage loans | | | | | 99.7 | % | | | | | | 99.7 | % | Adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans | | | | | 0.3 | | | | | | | 0.3 | | Total | | | | | 100.0 | % | | | | | | 100.0 | % | Weighted average life | | | | | 7.5 years | | | | | | 7.6 years |
The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of an adverse variation in one assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change. See “Note 15. Fair Value Disclosures” for additional information on the valuation techniques used. Commercial Mortgage Activities
The following table summarizes commercial mortgage servicing activities:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in millions) | Mar 31, 2025 | | Dec 31, 2024 | UPB of CRE mortgages serviced for others | $ | 27,570 | | | $ | 27,845 | | CRE mortgages serviced for others covered by recourse provisions | 9,915 | | | 9,985 | | Maximum recourse exposure from CRE mortgages sold with recourse liability | 2,915 | | | 2,940 | | Recorded reserves related to recourse exposure | 11 | | | 11 | | CRE mortgages originated during the year-to-date period | 90 | | | 1,467 | | Commercial MSRs at fair value | 251 | | | 265 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
