Origination points

Origination points describe an upfront fee that a borrower pays to a mortgage lender for its role in preparing the loan for funding. Each origination point is equivalent to 1 percent of the loan amount. Origination points are set by the lender, usually based on the borrower's qualifications, and can sometimes be negotiated.
