Franklin Synergy Bank Receives Fannie Mae Seller/Servicer Approval

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Franklin Financial Network, Inc. (NYSE: FSB) (the "Company"), the parent company of Franklin Synergy Bank (the "Bank"), today announced that the Bank has received Fannie Mae seller/servicer approval.  This distinction allows the Bank to retain mortgage servicing rights, realize pricing advantages and expand product offerings, as well as to sell and pool loans into mortgage-backed securities. Fannie Mae's technology solutions for seller/servicers also make the loan process more efficient by making it faster and less complicated.

Richard Herrington, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While the Bank is already a current Freddie Mac seller/servicer, the Fannie Mae approval strengthens our commitment to the community as one of the top providers of mortgages in Middle Tennessee.  We are excited to be working with Fannie Mae and to offer our customers the opportunity for more-competitive products and pricing."
