Mortgage Banking Activities [Abstract]

Table 6.1 presents

MSRs, including the changes in MSRs measured using the fair value method and the amortization method. MSRs are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Table 6.1: Mortgage Servicing Rights


	Year ended December 31,
(in millions)		2025		2024	2023
Residential MSRs at fair value, beginning of period		$	6,844	7,468	9,310
Originations/purchases		98		94	161
Sales and other		(759)		(312)	(902)
Net reductions		(661)		(218)	(741)
Changes in fair value:
Due to valuation inputs or assumptions:
Market interest rates (1)		(44)		538	228
Servicing and foreclosure costs		(3)		(45)	(14)
Discount rates		43		(73)	(149)
Prepayment estimates and other (2)		261		72	21
Net changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		257		492	86
Changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows (3)		(744)		(898)	(1,187)
Total changes in fair value		(487)		(406)	(1,101)
Residential MSRs at fair value, end of period		5,696		6,844	7,468
Commercial MSRs at amortized cost, end of period (4)		631		935	1,040
Total MSRs		$	6,327	7,779	8,508

(1)Includes prepayment rate changes due to changes in market interest rates. Residential MSRs are economically hedged with derivative instruments to reduce exposure to changes in market interest rates.

(2)Represents other changes in valuation model inputs or assumptions, including prepayment rate estimation changes that are independent of mortgage interest rate changes.

(3)Represents the reduction in the residential MSR fair value for the cash flows expected to be collected during the period, net of income accreted due to the passage of time.

(4)The estimated fair value of commercial MSRs was $755 million, $1.5 billion, and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. In first quarter 2025, we sold the non-agency portion of our commercial mortgage third-party servicing business.

Assumptions and Sensitivity of Residential MSRs

Table 6.2 provides key weighted-average assumptions used in the valuation of residential MSRs and sensitivity of the current fair value of residential MSRs to immediate adverse changes in

those assumptions. See Note 14 (Fair Value Measurements) for additional information on key assumptions for residential MSRs.

Table 6.2: Assumptions and Sensitivity of Residential MSRs


($ in millions, except cost to service amounts)	Dec 31, 2025			Dec 31, 2024
Fair value of interests held	$	5,696		6,844
Expected weighted-average life (in years)	6.3			6.4

Key assumptions:
Prepayment rate assumption (1)	8.0		%	8.1
Impact on fair value from 10% adverse change	$	(163)		(191)
Impact on fair value from 25% adverse change	(394)			(461)

Discount rate assumption	9.1		%	10.1
Impact on fair value from 100 basis point increase	$	(243)		(270)
Impact on fair value from 200 basis point increase	(465)			(519)

Cost to service assumption ($ per loan)	96			103
Impact on fair value from 10% adverse change	(106)			(134)
Impact on fair value from 25% adverse change	(266)			(334)

(1)Includes a blend of prepayment speeds and expected defaults. Prepayment speeds are influenced by mortgage interest rates as well as our estimation of drivers of borrower behavior.

Managed Servicing Portfolio

We present information for our managed servicing portfolio in Table 6.3 using unpaid principal balance for loans serviced and subserviced for others and carrying value for owned loans serviced.

As the servicer of loans for others, we advance certain payments of principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and default-related expenses. The credit risk related to these advances is limited since the reimbursement is generally senior to cash payments to investors and are generally reimbursed within a short timeframe from cash flows from the trust, government-sponsored enterprise (GSEs), insurer, or borrower. We maintain an allowance for uncollectible amounts for advances on loans serviced for others that may not be reimbursed if the payments were not made in accordance with applicable servicing agreements or if the insurance or servicing agreements contain limitations on reimbursements. We also advance payments of taxes and insurance for our owned loans which are collectible from the borrower. Servicer advances on owned loans are written-off when deemed uncollectible.

MSRs as a percentage of loans serviced for others (1)	1.43		%	1.03	1.41	0.18
Weighted average note rate (mortgage loans serviced for others)	3.78			4.11	3.76	5.05
Servicer advances, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts ($ in millions) (1)	$	688		26	977	1,173

(1)In first quarter 2025, we sold the non-agency portion of our commercial mortgage third-party servicing business.
