HOEPA & Business Purpose Loans

Answered by: 

Question: 
When we make a business purpose loan taking the borrower's primary residence as collateral, are we required to check for HOEPA or can I assume that if a TIL is not required then HOEPA would not apply?
Answer: 

By definition in 226.32(a)(1) the Reg Z HOEPA provisions only apply to consumer credit. If the loan is primarily for business purpose, HOEPA would not apply.
