In accordance with the Secure and Fair
Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act), the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) Regulation G requires
residential mortgage loan originators (MLOs) to register with the
Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS), maintain this
registration, obtain a unique identifier, and disclose to consumers
upon request and through the NMLS 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 MLOs to adopt and follow written policies
and procedures to ensure that their employees comply with these
requirements and to conduct annual independent compliance tests.
The CFPB’s regulation applies to a broad range of financial
institutions and their employees. Regarding entities supervised by
the Board, the CFPB’s regulation applies to state member banks
(SMBs) with $10 billion or less in total assets that are not
affiliates of insured depository institutions with total assets of
more than $10 billion; subsidiaries of such SMBs that are not
functionally regulated within the meaning of section 5(c)(5) of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956; branches and agencies of foreign
banks (other than federal branches, federal agencies, and insured
state branches of foreign banks); and commercial lending companies
owned or controlled by foreign banks; and their employees who act
as MLOs.
