Loan Activity Reporting
Loan Activity Report (LAR) processing is the function whereby Fannie Mae receives a LAR from the Servicer of record based upon borrower loan payment activity in a given month. Fannie Mae uses this report to update its loan records accordingly.
For securitized loans, LAR activity is needed to create aggregation of collateral balances, which will make up security balances, calculate investor payouts/guaranty fees, and provide disclosure information to investors on underlying collateral. For loans held in portfolio, LAR activity is needed to determine the balance of accounts receivable related to cash remittances due from Servicers.
