Curious. Who in your organization is responsible for compliance with the SAFE Act? Like registering MLOs, arranging fingerprinting, doing background checks, etc., etc.
And if you say "our Safe Act Officer" in which department does this officer reside?

Our HR director is the SAFE Act Officer, and handles all these details. We determined that they were the only ones who could know who was coming and going.

Our Safe Act Officer comes under our Compliance Department.

Our Mortgage Department Supervisor and HR handles the compliance part of the SAFE ACT.

I am the compliance officer for our bank and I serve as the NMLS administrator. It is not too bad, we only have 16 registered MLO's, and we don't have alot of turn over with them.

Our Compliance Officer is the responsible person and handles the registration and annual renewals. HR and the Chief Credit Officer are consulted when necessary.

Ditto JWills - and we don't have very many registered MLO's either.

HR owns SAFE Act duties. Compliance audits it.

JWillis & Skittles - who performs the required annual compliance audits? You cannot audit yourself.

We have an external consultant that audits our compliance functions.

Like Skittles, we have an external compliance audit quarterly, and they take care of that for us.
