Compliance Blog tackles private education loans
NAFCU's newest member of the compliance team, Loran Jackson, introduces herself and analyzes the scope of Regulation Z's student loan rule in a Compliance Blog post published Friday.
Jackson, NAFCU's regulatory compliance counsel, explains that any credit provider that makes a private education loan (PEL) – which is defined as a loan extended to a consumer in whole or in part for postsecondary education expenses – is a private education lender.
"A private education lender may be a credit union, bank, and even the educational institution the borrower attends," wrote Jackson. "Reg. Z does not put limitation on who is regulated by this section, but focuses on what is regulated: private education loans."
Jackson points to the CFPB's Education Loan Servicing Exam Manual and explains that, under Sections 1026.46-48 of Regulation Z, private education loan lenders are required to disclose terms and interest rates, as well as advertise their terms.
Jackson also provides further clarification on how a credit union can identify whether an application is for a PEL and how a loan can fall under the category of optional compliance.
