In accordance with the Secure and Fair
Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (S.A.F.E. Act), the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) Regulation G requires
residential mortgage loan originators (MLOs) to register with the
Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (the Registry),
obtain a unique identifier, maintain this registration, and
disclose to consumers upon request and through the Registry their
unique identifier and the MLO’s employment history and publicly
adjudicated disciplinary and enforcement actions. The CFPB’s
regulation also requires the institutions employing these MLOs to
adopt and follow written policies and procedures to ensure their
employees comply with these requirements and to conduct annual
independent compliance tests to assure compliance. The CFPB’s rule
applies to a broad range of financial institutions and their
employees, including Board-supervised institutions/employees, such
as state member banks and their non-functionally-regulated
subsidiaries, state uninsured branches and agencies of foreign
banks, and commercial lending companies owned or controlled by
foreign banks.
