http://www.ffiec.gov/hmda/guide.htmBrokered or Correspondent Loans: Who Reports?
When a covered institution makes a loan through a third party such as a broker, the institution, rather than the third party, reports the loan if the institution makes the credit decision. Data on loan applications that do not result in an origination must also be reported by the entity that makes the credit decision. Consult comments 1003.1(c)-2 through -7 (Appendix D to this Guide) for more guidance.
