If a customer wants to refinance an existing loan, are there any issues with rolling the interest due on the existing loan into the new loan? The existing loan is in good standing? I am being told not to do it because it is capatilized interest, but I am pretty sure that does not apply.

How could an existing loan be in good standing if the customer cannot pay the interest charges that are do? (Unless you mean not yet delinquent - a timing issue.)

Regulators generally frown on capitalizing interest - especially the OCC. They consider it as a sign of weakness - both for character and capacity. They have old guidance in EC-229.

I mean require the borrower to bring the interest to closing as cash rather than have it included in the new loan amount.

What type of loan is this?

If you are talking about refinancing a mortgage loan or other consumer loan there is no prohibition from including the accrued interest from the date of the last monthly payment to the date of payoff in the new loan amount?

Either mortgage or consumer. That is what I thought. Thank you.
