Why banks and other financial institutions sell loan

 The  banks  and  FIs  sell  loan  due  to  profits  and  reduce  the  some  capital expenditures are mentioned below:

1. Reserve Requirement: Regulatory authority imposes non-interest bearing

requirements, are a form of tax that adds to the cost of funding the loan portfolio. Regulatory taxes such as reserve requirements create an incentive

for banks to remove loans from the balance sheet by loan selling.

2. Fee  Income:  Banks and  financial institutions often  report  anincome earned from selling loans. As a result, originating and quickly selling loans can boost banks and financial institutions reported income under current accounting rules.

3. Capital Costs: The reserve requirements imposed as a burden as long as required capital exceeds the amount that they struggle to meet adequate

capital requirements holding more debt capital rather than equity capital.

4. Liquidity Risk: the liquidity is a major problem due to liabilities tends to be highly liquid. To resolve it, some of its loans sales to outside investors and

significantly reduced the liquidity as assets on the balance sheet.
