As to the Equal Housing Lender logo, usage varies among agencies. As a general rule it should be used in any written or visual advertisement of any loan for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing or maintaining a “dwelling” or any loan secured by a dwelling. This InfoVault Q&A has more information as the Gurus worked out the cites among themselves. Also noted is the OTS increased usage and OCCs decreased usage requirements.( http://www.bankersonline.com/marketing/guru2004/gurus_mkt030104a.html )The Member FDIC disclosure is required when you advertise a deposit product and an exception under 328.3(c) is not present. In this instance (c)(12) would provide an exception. More information is again available in the InfoVault.

Question:
I have a question in regards to advertising. We have a brochure that lists which documents the Borrower must provide at time of a Mortgage loan application. Do we need the Equal Housing Lender logo and Member FDIC printed in the brochure? It doesn't state rates or any other information about loans.
