EVP is a big loan promoter – concerned about his annual bonus being compliant with Reg Z
03/24/2024
I work in HR, and know that our Executive VP earns a substantial annual bonus. He does not really do any real estate lending, but often says he makes more loan deals on the golf course than anywhere else. I assume this includes home loans. Up to this point, he has kept his NMLS ID # and registration current “to CYA”. I’m concerned his bonus may be non-compliant with Loan Originator Compensation requirements. Should I be worried?

Should our board deny commercial loans?
03/17/2024
Our residential mortgage lending team is very thorough to ensure that the Lending Committee signs-off on adverse action/denial documentation. We are newer to commercial lending. Thus, the Board approves all commercial loans. The commercial lending officer has been given the discretion to decline certain requests before they even get to the Board. The question is more of a compliance/procedural one. Is it sufficient for only the commercial loan officer to sign-off on adverse actions, or should we be obtaining Board sign-off on these as well....under our current approval structure?
