An Inside Mortgage Finance Webinar
Recorded February 28, 2013
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has just released its final rule on loan originator compensation. The rules build on regulations put into effect by the Federal Reserve nearly two years ago, but add some new gray areas. Loan originators cannot be compensated by more than one party to a transaction but brokers can pay commissions. Pricing concessions are forbidden, but originators can reduce their compensation to offset some unexpected increases in settlement costs. New qualification standards apply regardless of who employs the originator but licensing and registration requirements remain unchanged. And anti-steering prohibitions are nowhere to be found.
Learn where the dividing lines are and how your procedures need to change to stay on the correct side at the Inside Mortgage Finance webinar “LO Compensation: The New Rules.” You’ll hear from a panel of legal experts who will explain the rule and discuss how to revise your current systems on CD or MP3 recording.
