mortgage banks

Property loan institutions

Mortgage banks are financial institutions that specialize in originating and servicing mortgage loans.

Unlike traditional banks, they typically don't hold deposits or keep loans on their books long-term—instead, they fund mortgages and then sell them to investors or government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae.

She got her home loan through a mortgage bank rather than her local credit union.
