Mortgage Servicing Rights [Abstract] |
Servicing Rights | SERVICING RIGHTS Mortgage Servicing Rights Our portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $3.36 billion and $3.38 billion as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These loans are originated and sold to third parties on a non-recourse basis with servicing rights retained. The retained servicing rights were recorded as a servicing asset and are reported in other intangible assets. The associated amortization expense and any valuation allowance recognized were included as a reduction of mortgage income. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value and then carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Contractually specified mortgage servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees earned for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and are reported in mortgage income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, contractually specified mortgage servicing fees, late fees, and ancillary fees earned were $6.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The following table presents changes in the servicing asset during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Mortgage servicing rights valuations are performed using a pooling methodology where loans with similar risk characteristics are grouped together and evaluated using discounted cash flows to estimate the present value of future earnings. Key economic assumptions used to value mortgage servicing rights were as follows:
| September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Discount rate - conventional fixed loans | 7.68 | % |  | 8.92 | %
Discount rate - all loans excluding conventional fixed loans | 8.68 | % |  | 9.92 | %
Weighted average constant prepayment rate | 20.80 | % |  | 13.72 | %
Weighted average cost to service a loan | $ | 87.30 |  |  | $ | 87.09 |
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is sensitive to changes in assumptions and is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows by utilizing discount rates, prepayment rates, and other inputs. The discount rate is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a risk premium of 700 basis points for conventional fixed loans and 800 basis points for all other loans. The prepayment rate is derived from the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment model. Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value and may result in the recognition of a valuation allowance. The average cost to service a loan is based on the number of loans serviced and the total cost to service the loans.
