Declaration Page Evidencing Coverage (Flood Rules)
01/29/2017
We have a no cashout refinance where property is in a flood zone. The way I read the flood rules, we still need a declaration page evidencing coverage and then during our ongoing monitoring of the property, we can then accept a notice of insurance coverage at that point. Is this correct?
E-Sign Compliance for Delivery of Appraisals
01/29/2017
In my search for guidance on e-Sign compliance for delivery of appraisals (Reg B) and Closing Disclosures (Reg Z) there seems to be a difference in what is recommended for Reg B & Reg Z. All the guidance on delivery of the closing disclosure states that a read or delivery receipt is not a recommended method of documenting proof of the date delivery occurred. However, guidance on Reg B delivery date of the appraisal tends to lean the other way and regarding a read/delivery receipt. In fact the commentary 1002.14(a)(4)(I) even states ... “Delivery occurs three business days after mailing or delivering copies... or when evidence indicates actual receipt by the applicant, whichever is earlier". With the commentary in mind is it necessary for us to get a confirmation e-mail to document the actual date of delivery of the appraisal or can we simply apply the guidance from the commentary and rest on the delivery occurred three business days after xmailing whether snail or electronic mail?

Compliance Ramifications if Negative IR (TISA)
01/22/2017
I have been instructed to lead a project around compliance ramifications if negative interest rates were to occur in the US. With regard to deposit accounts, would all TISA and other initial disclosures need to be updated to reflect this change. Since the change in terms would negatively affect our customers. This would be quite an undertaking as we have 10 member banks. Would all of our advertisements have to be re-disclosed? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
