The Mortgage Bankers are regulated to ensure compliance with banking or finance laws in the jurisdiction of the consumer; the extent of the regulation depends on the jurisdiction.

The Banks’ activities can be divided into retail banking, business banking, providing services to mid-market business; corporate banking, private banking and investment banking, relating to activities on the financial markets. Most banks are profit-making, private enterprises and some are owned by government, or are non-profits organizations.

The nature and scope of a Mortgage Banker’s activities varies with jurisdiction. The Mortgage Banker in many cases is responsible for ensuring the advice that is appropriate for the borrowers’ circumstances and is held financially liable if the advice is later shown to be defective.
