Banks buy and sell loans to manage liquidity, reduce risk, meet lending capacity needs, and rebalance their portfolios. Selling loans can free up capital so lenders can make new loans, while buying loans can help institutions earn income from performing assets. The borrower’s loan terms generally remain governed by the original documents unless formally modified.
