Loan servicing income totaled $3.7 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had no servicing income for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of servicing rights.

Generally, as interest rates rise on variable rate loans, loan prepayments increase due to an increase in refinance activity, which may result in a decrease in the fair value of servicing assets. Measurement of fair value is limited to the condition existing and the assumptions used as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may change over time. Refer to Note 18—Fair Value Measurement for further details.
