Fair value at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was determined using discount rates ranging from 4.93% to 9.88% and 5.75% to 11.09%, respectively, and prepayment speeds ranging from 6.82% to 20.53% and 6.42% to 21.78%, respectively, depending on the stratification of the specific right. Average default rates are based on the industry average for the applicable NAICS/SIC code.

Comparable market values and a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows were used to estimate fair value. For purposes of fair value measurement, risk characteristics including product type and interest rate, were used to stratify the originated loan servicing rights.
