The Mortgage itself is a Loan Account setting up a method of repayment; the repayment structure includes interest over the term of the loan. Monthly payments on a mortgage loan account are sometimes referred to as: P&I (Principal and Interest).
At the request of the customer and in some cases, as a requirement to the mortgage contract, an Impound Account (Escrow Account) will be initiated in order to accommodate the bi-annual payment of property taxes as well as an annual payment of home insurance. This account will pay a nominal interest rate credited to the account at the end of each year.
If the customer has an Impound Account, the monthly mortgage payments will include a monthly savings amount which will be deposited directly into the impound (escrow) account in order to accumulate funds to pay future tax and insurance invoices.
Regarding Homeowners Insurance, the policy must be purchased by the homeowner and the mortgage company must be listed as the Mortgage Loss Payee; copies of all documents will be mailed to the mortgage company including invoices. If a homeowner does not purchase home insurance, the mortgage contract allows the mortgage company to place 'Forced Insurance' on the property and charge the surcharged premium to the mortgage account; this is not in the interest of the homeowner and should be avoided in the interest of premium amount and coverage afforded.

Some lenders require that they include an escrow account to collect money from you for future renewal premiums in order to in their minds better protect their interest in your home. In that case, then the money that you send your lender each month would include principal and interest on your loan and a certain amount for this insurance escrow account. In some cases, they also collect for your annual property taxes as well. When your policy renews, your insurance company would then bill your mortgage company and they would pay your renewal premium in full at that time. This process would continue so long as you remained with that lender.
