The SAFE Act, managed and enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), was created to establish minimum licensing, registration, and regulation standards for mortgage loan originators (MLOs) to protect consumers and reduce fraud through improved information flow, communication, transparency, tracking, accountability and accessibility. The Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS), an offspring of the SAFE Act, consolidates mortgage licensing information in a single repository for mortgage industry nationwide licensing. During this webinar you’ll learn more about the regulation requirements of the SAFE Act for MLOs, its exceptions, impacts on bank credit committees and credit union service organizations. You’ll also review other pertinent industry considerations for residential mortgage lending professionals.
