Fair lending is a hot topic right now – from the subprime “meltdown” to nontraditional mortgages and predatory lending, there is much to consider. How is your fair lending program? Have you accounted for new risks examiners are looking for? This program will help you to understand the extent of Regulation B, the Fair Housing Act (FHA), and new guidance the regulatory agencies have introduced recently. We’ll also discuss trends in fair lending and the direction Congress and other agencies are likely to go in the new future.

Covered topics include:

  • Prohibited bases under the rules (what you can do, as well)
  • Evaluating applications and underwriting – what you can and cannot consider
  • Government monitoring information – when to get it and how to handle it
  • The Reg. Z “Higher-Priced Mortgage” proposal
  • Fair lending litigation trends and lessons
  • Suitability rules – how can we demonstrate this?
  • Nontraditional mortgage and proposed ARM illustrations – sign of things to come?
  • Developing an effective and comprehensive fair lending program
  • Consequences for violating the rules - not just fines
  • And more

Plus frequent question and answer sessions throughout this presentation.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone in the institution having virtually any responsibility in the lending process has fair lending responsibilities, from senior management, loan officers, underwriters, and closing agents, to compliance officers, auditors, and attorneys, and would benefit from this valuable information.
