Compliance Monitor explores escrow rule
NAFCU members can gain a better understanding of how to qualify for the small creditor exemption from the CFPB's new escrow requirements for higher-priced mortgage loans by reading the February issue of the NAFCU Compliance Monitor newsletter.
The issue's article (member login is required) on the new escrow requirements for higher-priced mortgage loans goes into the specifics about the 4-part test to qualify for the small creditor exemption. Credit unions that qualify for the small creditor exemption would no longer be required to escrow for higher-priced mortgage loans after June 1, 2013.
The escrow requirements only apply to a subset of higher-priced mortgage loans, namely, first liens on a member's principal dwelling. Credit unions that do not make higher-priced mortgage loans will not be impacted by the changes in the escrow requirements.
In addition, the newsletter includes a compliance forum section that highlights some recent queries fielded by NAFCU's compliance team, and a roundup of notable NAFCU Compliance Blog posts.
Speaking of queries, the NAFCU compliance team reported Friday that compliance inquiries in January were up 40 percent over December – a direct impact of the CFPB's new mortgage rules.
The February issue is accessible now online. Member login is required.

It takes about 30 times for a board to start to be in a new conversation before they start to get their brain rewired to embody the change [07:24] In merger conversations we lose sight of what is important for the member. We need to look at what the continuing organization will look like and what is the leadership the membership and continuing organization need and deserve. [12:39] An educated board and executive team are a sharper team. When you have sharper leaders in the organization good things come from that. [24:22] If we are not taking care of that relationship with the CEO then we are strategically hampered. With a good CEO evaluation, the board is higher performing, the CEO is more attentive to being high performing, and the relationship is high performing and more genitive.
