This training program will help attendees understand how policies created to help keep costs low and net earnings up could create a disparate impact situation in your organization. Attendees will also learn the nuances with notification requirements especially related to incomplete applications.
Why Should You Attend:
ECOA covers not only equal credit opportunity for borrowers; it covers how and when borrowers should receive notifications of action taken on their application, how and when they receive appraisals if applicable, and the furnishing of credit information. In 2014, the rule required institutions to send a notice concerning the right to receive a copy of the appraisal.
Each application, whether denied or originated, would see an appraisal delivered to the borrower. In 2015, with the implementation of TRID, the initial appraisal disclosure was a part of the new loan estimate form. However, the delivery requirements for the appraisal remained the same.
While the notification requirements within ECOA have been the same for quite some time, there is still much confusion and inaccurate practices around the Notice of Incompleteness, Adverse Action Notices, and how to properly withdraw applications. This webinar will be a great refresher course to re-address these rules and ensure your organization is properly handling the required notifications.
Lastly, it is always a good idea to revisit your policies and procedures to ensure your organization is not creating a disparate impact to the markets you serve. While overt discrimination is extremely rare these days, policies can create a disparate impact which could land your organization in questioning for discrimination.
