Banks don’t Usually hold loans. The loans are typically packages and sold as bundles to institutional investors and banks get a cut of the deal with minimal risk. But to do that banks have to follow rules on what the packages look like so only certain products get loans and everything else isn’t worth dealing with

This may be specific to whatever country you're in. The major 4 banks in mine hold loans.
