MetLife, Inc., has agreed to sell MetLife Bank, N.A.'s approximately $70 billion mortgage servicing portfolio to JPMorganChase Bank, N.A. Given MetLife's strategic focus as a global insurance and employee benefits provider, the company decided in 2011 that a bank holding company structure was no longer appropriate. “Since that time, MetLife has entered into agreements to sell MetLife Bank's deposit business to GE Capital, sold the bank's warehouse finance business to EverBank, sold the bank's reverse mortgage servicing rights to Nationstar, and ceased writing residential mortgages,” said Jim Rose, MetLife Bank President.
