Yield Spread Premium
Yield spread premium (YSP) is compensation a lender historically paid a broker for delivering a loan at a higher-than-par rate.
What Yield Spread Premium means
Post-2010 rules largely ended borrower-paid YSP arrangements that created conflicts of interest. Today lenders must disclose broker compensation, and it cannot reward steering borrowers to higher rates.
Florida example
A modern Florida borrower benefits from rules that bar the old YSP abuses. So a broker can't quietly pad a rate for extra commission. Compensation is set and disclosed up front.
What it is
A yield spread premium is money a lender pays a broker for placing a loan at a higher rate. Today lenders must disclose it, and it cannot pad broker pay unfairly.
Rules now protect borrowers from hidden markups.
