Mortgage servicing is a big job that comes with a fair share of risks. Lenders who do their own mortgage servicing must be diligent about the details.

As a financial institution expands, there comes a point when outsourcing is the smarter option. Consider this:If a mortgage servicer handles 50,000 mortgages and
