PMI Requirements

Answered by: 

Question: 
If we make a mortgage loan that we are going to hold and service and the loan to value is in excess of 80%, are there any regulations that require us to cover that loan with private mortgage insurance? Or is that simply a bank policy issue that goes to loan quality?
Answer: 

It's a safety & soundness consideration. Your regulator may include loans of this type in the loan classifications & allocate capital to cover the excess risk.
