Always, because the law required itc. Not often, because banks prefer to sell off the loansd. Most of the time.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Not often, because banks prefer to sell off the loans.

Explanation:

The "originate to hold" banking model implies lenders requesting loans with the intention of holding them until maturity. Nowadays this practice is not regularly used since financial institutions opted for the "originate to distribute" model where the loan requester is given a credit to sell it to other parties or to securitize part of it for future purposes.
