413 | For an HPML application received on or after June 1, 2013, has an escrow account been established before consummation for property taxes and premiums for mortgage-related insurance if the loan is secured by a first lien on a principal dwelling, unless the loan is secured by shares in a cooperative or condominium unit with a master insurance policy; the loan finances initial construction or a bridge loan of less than one year; or, the loan is a reverse mortgage? (§§ 1026.35(b)(1)– (2)) | |||
414 | Did the credit union cancel the escrow account only upon the earlier of (a) the termination of the underlying debt or, (b) receipt of a consumer’s request to cancel the account no earlier than five years after consummation if the unpaid balance on the loan is less than 80 percent of the original property value and the consumer is not delinquent or in default on the loan? (§ 1026.35(b)(3)) | |||
415 | For an application (first or subordinate lien) received on or after January 18, 2014, did the credit union either provide the HPML appraisal disclosure to the applicant no later than three business days after receiving the application (or three business days after an HPML determination) or comply with the disclosure requirement in § 1002.14(a)(2)? (§ 1026.35(c)(5)) | |||
416 | Before consummation, did the credit union obtain a written appraisal of the property that a certified or licensed appraiser performed after conducting a physical interior inspection of the property, if the loan is not exempt? (§ 1026.35(c)(3)) | |||
417 | Did the credit union exercise reasonable diligence (i.e., used written source documents) to determine if an additional appraisal is required, if the loan is not exempt? (§§ 1026.35(c)(4)(i), 1026.35(c)(4)(vi), and see Appendix O) | |||
418 | If the credit union cannot demonstrate that the additional appraisal requirement did not apply or otherwise determine that the consumer applied for an HPML to acquire a flipped property: | |||
418(a) | Did the credit union obtain an additional written appraisal from a different certified or licensed appraiser who conducted a physical interior inspection of the property? (§ 1026.35(c)(4)) | |||
418(b) | Did one of the two appraisals include an analysis of the difference from seller’s acquisition price and consumer’s price to acquire the property, the changes in market conditions and any improvements to property between seller’s acquisition date and the date of consumer’s agreement to acquire the property?

(§ 1026.36(d)(1)(i)) | |||
421 | With the exception of a loan originator organization paying compensation it received directly from a consumer to a loan originator, if an individual loan originator receives compensation directly from a consumer in a closed-end consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling (excluding a time-share plan): | |||
421(a) | Did the loan originator not receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from any person other than the consumer (unless otherwise designated by the consumer per agreement with a person other than the credit union or its affiliates) for the same transaction?

422 | For a closed-end consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling (excluding a time-share plan), did the loan originator refrain from directing or steering a consumer to consummate a transaction even though the originator could have received greater compensation from the credit union in that transaction than in other transactions the originator offered or could have offered to the consumer, unless the consummated transaction was in the consumer’s interest? (§ 1026.36(e)(1)) | |||

424 | Has the credit union taken appropriate steps to ensure compliance with the loan originator provisions in § 1026.36(f)(3): | |||

(§ 1026.36(f)(3)(i)(A)) | |||
424(b) | Establishing procedures for obtaining criminal background checks through the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLSR) or, in the case of an individual loan originator who is not a registered loan originator under the NMLSR, a criminal background check from a law enforcement agency or commercial service?

(§ 1026.36(f)(3)(i)(C)) | |||
424(e) | Based on the information obtained above and any other information reasonably available to the credit union, made determinations that each individual loan originator (1) has not been convicted of, or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony in a domestic or military court during the preceding seven-year period or, in the case of a felony involving an act of fraud, dishonesty, a breach of trust, or money laundering, at any time; and (2) has demonstrated financial responsibility, character, and general fitness such as to warrant a determination that the individual loan originator will operate honestly, fairly, and efficiently before such individual acts as a loan originator?

425 | Does the credit union provide periodic training covering federal and state law requirements that apply to the individual loan originator's loan origination activities? (§ 1026.36(f)(3)(iii)) | |||

(§ 1026.36(g)) | |||
427 | Does the credit union maintain written policies and procedures to ensure and monitor compliance, including its subsidiaries’ and subsidiaries’ employees, with the requirements of § 1026.36(d)-(g)? (§ 1026.36(j)) | |||
428 | For transactions subject to § 1026.36, has the credit union kept records sufficient to evidence all compensation it paid to a loan originator and the compensation agreement that governs those payments for three years after the date of payment? (§ 1026.25(c)(2)(i)) | |||

Note: No person violates § 1026.42(d)(1)(i) solely because that person is an employee or affiliate of the credit union, or provides a settlement service in addition to preparing valuations or performing valuation management functions, or based solely on the fact that the person's affiliate performs another settlement service. There is a safe harbor based on the asset-size of the credit union. If the conditions of the safe harbors are not met, whether § 1026.42(d)(1)(i) is violated by the above persons or entities depends on all of the facts and circumstances.

448(c) | No employee, officer, or director in the credit union's loan production function, as defined in § 1026.42 (d)(5)(i), is directly or indirectly involved in selecting, retaining, recommending or influencing the selection of the person to prepare a valuation or perform valuation management functions, or to be included in or excluded from a list of approved persons who prepare valuations or perform valuation management functions. | |||
449 | For any covered transaction in which the credit union had assets of less than $250 million as of December 31 for both of the past two calendar years, a person subject to § 1026.42(d)(1)(i) who is employed by or affiliated with the credit union does not have a conflict of interest based on the person's employment or affiliate relationship with the credit union if the person meets all of the following conditions for the safe harbor: (§ 1026.42(d)(3)) | |||

(§ 1026.42(e)) | |||
451 | Did the credit union and its agents compensate a fee appraiser for performing appraisal services at a rate that is customary and reasonable for comparable appraisal services performed in the geographic market of the property being appraised? (§ 1026.42(f)(1)) | |||
452 | If the credit union reasonably believes an appraiser has not complied with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice or ethical or professional requirements for appraisers under applicable state or federal statutes or regulations, did the credit union refer the matter within a reasonable period of time to the appropriate state agency if the failure to comply is material?

---|---|---|---|---|
453 | Did the credit union make a reasonable and good faith determination at or before consummation of a covered transaction that the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms, only after it considered the consumer’s: | |||
453(a) | Current or reasonably expected income or assets (other than value of the dwelling and attached real property)? (§ 1026.43(c)(2)(i)) | |||
453(b) | Current employment status (if the credit union relies on employment income for its determination)? (§ 1026.43(c)(2)(ii)) | |||

453(c)(i) | Unless a balloon payment, interest-only, or negatively amortizing loan, the credit union must use the greater of the fully indexed rate or any introductory interest rate and monthly, fully amortizing payments that are substantially equal. (§ 1026.43(c)(5)(i)) | |||
453(c)(ii) | If a loan with a balloon payment (has a payment that is more than two times a regular periodic payment), the credit union must use the maximum payment scheduled during the first five years after the date on which the first regular periodic payment will be due for a loan that is not a higher-priced covered transaction; or the maximum payment in the payment schedule, including any balloon payment, for a higher-priced covered transaction. (§ 1026.43(c)(5)(ii)(A)) | |||
453(c)(iii) | If an interest-only loan the credit union must use the greater of the fully indexed rate or any introductory interest rate and substantially equal, monthly payments of principal and interest that will repay the loan amount over the term of the loan remaining as of the date the loan is recast. (§ 1026.43(c)(5)(ii)(B)) | |||
453(c)(iv) | If a negative amortization loan, the credit union must use the greater of the fully indexed rate or any introductory interest rate and substantially equal, monthly payments of principal and interest that will repay the maximum loan amount over the term of the loan remaining as of the date the loan is recast. (§ 1026.43(c)(5)(ii)(C)) | |||
453(d) | Monthly payment on any simultaneous loan (another covered transaction or HELOC made to the consumer at or before consummation of the covered transaction, or after to cover its closing costs, and secured by the same dwelling) that the credit union knows or has reason to know will be made, using the monthly payment calculation for covered loans (above) or the periodic payment under the HELOC’s terms?

453(g)(ii) | If the credit union considered the consumer’s monthly residual income, it must have considered the consumer's remaining income after subtracting total monthly debt obligations from total monthly income. (§ 1026.43(c)(7)(ii)(B)) | |||
453(h) | Credit history? (§§ 1026.43(c)(2)(viii)) | |||
454 | In determining a consumer's repayment ability under §§ 1026.43(c), did the credit union verify the information it relied on (eight factors listed in question above) using reliable third-party records, including verifying the amounts of the consumer’s income or assets using third-party party records that provide reliable evidence of the consumer’s income and assets, such as a tax-return transcript issued by the IRS, copies of tax returns filed with the IRS or state taxing authority, IRS Form W-2s, payroll statements, financial institution records, records obtained by the consumer’s employer, records from government agencies stating income from benefits or entitlements, and receipts from check chasing or funds transfer services? (§§ 1026.43(c)(3), (c)(4)) | |||
455 | Was the credit union not required to comply with the requirements of § 1026.43(c) because the following conditions for refinancing a non-standard mortgage to a standard mortgage were met? (§ 1026.43(d)(3)) | |||
455(a) | At the time of the refinance, the creditor for the standard mortgage was the current holder of the non-standard mortgage or the servicer acting on behalf of the current holder. (§ 1026.43(d)(2)(i)) | |||
455(b) | Based on the following calculations, the credit union determined that the standard mortgage’s monthly payment is materially lower than the non-standard mortgage’s monthly payment: (§ 1026.43(d)(2)(ii)) | |||
455(b)(i) | The credit union calculated the monthly payment for the non-standard mortgage based on substantially equal, monthly, fully amortizing payments of principal and interest using: | |||
455(b)(i)(1) | The fully indexed rate as of a reasonable period of time (generally 30 days) before or after the date on which the credit union received the consumer's written application for the standard mortgage. (§ 1026.43(d)(5)(i)(A)) | |||
455(b)(i)(2) | The term of the loan remaining as of the date the loan is recast. (§ 1026.43(d)(5)(i)(B)) | |||
455(b)(i)(3) | The outstanding principal balance as of the date of the recast, for an ARM or interest-only loan, assuming all scheduled payments have been made up to that date and the last payment due is made and credited on that date; and, for a negative amortization loan, the maximum loan amount, determined after adjusting for the outstanding principal balance. (§ 1026.43(d)(5)(i)(C)) | |||
455(b)(ii) | The credit union calculated the monthly payment for the standard mortgage on substantially equal, monthly, fully amortizing payments based on the maximum interest rate that may apply during the first five years after consummation. (§ 1026.43(d)(5)(ii)) | |||
455(c) | The credit union received the consumer's written application for the standard mortgage no later than two months after the non-standard mortgage had recast. (§ 1026.43(d)(2)(iii)) | |||
455(d) | The consumer made no more than one payment more than 30 days late on the non-standard mortgage during the 12 months immediately preceding the credit union's receipt of the standard mortgage application. (§ 1026.43(d)(2)(iv)) | |||

455(f) | If the non-standard mortgage was consummated on or after January 10, 2014, the non-standard mortgage was made according to §§ 1026.43(c) or (e), as applicable. (§ 1026.43(d)(2)(vi)) | |||
455(g) | The credit union considered whether the standard mortgage likely would prevent a default by the consumer on the non-standard mortgage once recast. (§ 1026.43(d)(3)(ii)) | |||
456 | Does the covered transaction not include a prepayment penalty, except if it meets all of the following conditions? (§ 1026.43(g)) | |||

456(c) | The mortgage has an APR that cannot increase after consummation. | |||
456(d) | The loan is not a higher-priced mortgage loan, as defined in § 1026.35(a). | |||

(§§ 1026.43(g)(2), (g)(6)) | |||
458 | If the credit union offered a consumer a mortgage with a prepayment penalty and consummated the covered transaction with a prepayment penalty, did the credit union also offer an alternative covered transaction without a prepayment penalty, in which the credit union had a good faith belief that the consumer likely qualified based on the information it knew at the time, and which had the following features? (§§ 1026.43(g)(3), (g)(3)(v), and (g)(6)) | |||
458(a) | An APR that cannot increase after consummation and has the same type of interest rate (fixed or step rate) as the loan with a prepayment penalty. (§ 1026.43(g)(3)(i)) | |||
458(b) | The same loan term as the loan with a prepayment penalty. (§ 1026.43(g)(3)(ii)) | |||
458(c) | Regular periodic payments that are substantially equal (except for the effect of interest rate changes in ARMs or step-rate mortgages), that do not increase the principal balance and do not allow the consumer to defer repayment of principal or result in a balloon-payment, except as provided for balloon-payment qualified mortgages in § 1026.43(f). (§ 1026.43(g)(3)(iii)) | |||
458(d) | Points and fees (defined in § 1026.32(b)(1)(i)) that met the following limits(adjusted annually on January 1 for inflation), based on the information known to the credit union at the time of the offer (§ 1026.43(g)(3)(iv)) | |||

458(d)(v) | For a loan amount of less than $12,500: 8 percent of the total loan amount. | |||
459 | If the credit union offered a loan with a prepayment penalty through a mortgage broker, did the credit union present the mortgage broker with an alternative covered transaction without a prepayment penalty that satisfies § 1026.43(g)(3) and establish by agreement that the mortgage broker present an alternative covered transaction without a prepayment penalty offered either by the credit union or another creditor, if the other creditor’s transaction had a lower interest rate or lower total dollar amount of discount points and origination points and fees? (§ 1026.43(g)(4)) | |||
460 | If the creditor is a loan originator, who presented a covered transaction with a prepayment penalty offered by another person to whom the loan would be assigned after consummation, did the creditor present the consumer an alternative covered transaction without a prepayment penalty that satisfied § 1026.43(g), which was offered by the assignee or another person offering a lower interest rate or a lower total dollar amount of origination discount points and points or fees? (§ 1026.43(g)(5)) | |||
461 | Has the credit union avoided structuring a loan as an open-end plan to evade the requirements of § 1026.43? (§ 1026.43(h)) | |||
462 | Has the credit union kept evidence of compliance with § 1026.43 for three years after consummation of a transaction covered by that section? (§ 1026.25(c)(3)) |
