Hazard insurance on TRID disclosures
07/14/2024
If I am refinancing a primary residence, do I need to include last year's insurance on the loan estimate and closing disclosure as a POC fee? Or can I just leave it off because insurance and taxes are accounted for on my Initial Escrow Disclosure?
Re-using a recent appraisal
07/07/2024
We have a business account that took out a construction loan 11 months ago on lot A. Our business customer just bought lot B (right beside lot A) and is planning to use the exact same floor plan as lot A for lot B for the construction. Since this appraisal was completed 11 months ago on a different address, would we have to get a new appraisal completed for lot B, or, since everything is the same besides the address (right next door with same floor plan not 1 year old) could we reuse the lot A appraisal for lot B? I am having trouble finding information about this in the regulation.
Is a wheel-spin game allowed?
07/07/2024
We have a “spin the wheel” promotion. To spin, a customer must donate $1 that the bank donates to a charity. All the prize amounts on the wheel are more than $1 therefore all customers will get more than they donate. The amount won is then sent to the customer via our e-wallet app. We set a certain number of spins and it is done on a first-come-first-served basis.
