Funding a loan

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Fund is a verb used to describe the process of wiring money from the mortgage lender to title or escrow prior to closing a real estate transaction. Interest is charged from the day of funding and not from the date of closing because funding often occurs a day or two before closing.
Examples:
Many transactions fund and close on the same day.
