What is Origination Fee?

An origination fee is a fee charged by a lender to cover the costs of processing and underwriting a loan. This fee is usually a percentage of the loan amount and is charged at the time the loan is originated. It is used to cover the lender's expenses such as appraisal, credit report, and other administrative costs.
