• Yield Spread Premium (YSP) is an additional compensation paid to a mortgage broker as compensation for providing a borrower with a higher interest rate loan.

  • Any YSP will be listed on the HUD-1 form presented at closing.
  • The yield spread premium is one of the many fees associated with buying a property or home.
  • A law was passed in 1999 to protect homebuyers from exorbitant yield spread fees.
  • In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act banned the practice of YSP.
