What Merchants Bancorp does

Indiana-based bank specializing in multifamily/mortgage warehouse lending, healthcare facility financing and retail banking.

Originates multifamily and healthcare loans and sells most to government-backed agencies such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD, booking a gain on each sale and keeping the right to service them for ongoing fees. The bank itself earns interest on warehouse lines it lends to mortgage originators until they sell their loans.
