At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our weighted average servicing fee was 39.7 basis points and 41.1 basis points, respectively. At both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held total escrow balances (including unfunded collateralized loan obligation holdbacks) of approximately $1.7 billion, of which approximately $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. These escrows are maintained in separate accounts at several federally insured depository institutions, which may exceed FDIC insured limits. We earn interest income on the total escrow deposits, which is generally based on a market rate of interest negotiated with the financial institutions that hold the escrow deposits. Interest earned on total escrows, net of interest paid to the borrower, is included as a component of servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of income as noted in the following table.
