employee of a Federally-regulated bank,
savings association, credit union, or
farm credit institution and their
subsidiaries (collectively, institutions)
who engages in the business of a
residential mortgage loan originator
(MLO) and does not qualify for the de
minimis exception to register with the
Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System
and Registry (Registry) and obtain a
unique identifier. Further, the S.A.F.E.
Act provides that institutions must
require their employees who act as
MLOs to comply with the Act’s
registration requirements and obtain a
unique identifier. Institutions must also
adopt and follow written policies and
procedures to ensure compliance with
these requirements.
Among other things, the Registry is
intended to aggregate and improve the
flow of information to and between
regulators; provide increased
accountability and tracking of mortgage
loan originators; enhance consumer
protections; reduce fraud in the
residential mortgage loan origination
process; and provide consumers with
easily accessible information at no
charge regarding the employment
history of, and the publicly adjudicated
disciplinary and enforcement actions
against, MLOs.
Along with the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the
National Credit Union Administration,
and the Farm Credit Administration, the
OCC issued a final rule implementing
the S.A.F.E. Act.2 The Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act (Dodd-Frank Act), Public Law 111–
203, later provided for the transfer of
this rule to the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the CFPB
republished this rule as 12 CFR part
1007.3 However, the OCC retains
enforcement authority for national
banks, Federal savings associations, and
Federal branches and agencies of foreign
banks with total assets of $10 billion or
less.4
MLO Reporting Requirements
Except in situations where the de
minimis exception applies, 12 CFR
1007.103 requires an employee of an
institution who acts as an MLO to
register with the Registry, obtain a
unique identifier, and maintain and
update such registration. This section
also requires institutions to require their
1501–1517, 122 Stat. 2654, 2810–2824 (July 30,
2008), codified at 12 U.S.C. 5101–5116.

MLO employees to comply with these
requirements. Section 1007.103(d) sets
forth the categories of information that
an institution must require each MLO
employee to submit to the Registry or
submit on the employee’s behalf. This
section also requires each MLO
employee to submit to the Registry an
attestation as to the correctness of the
information submitted and an
authorization for the Registry and the
employing institution to obtain certain
additional information related to the
employee.
MLO Disclosure Requirement
Section 1007.105(b) requires MLOs to
provide their unique identifier to a
consumer upon request, before acting as
an MLO, and through the originator’s
initial written communication with a
consumer, if any, whether on paper or
electronically.
Financial Institution Reporting
Requirements
Section 1007.103(e) specifies the
institution-related and employee
information an institution must submit
to the Registry in connection with the
initial registration of one or more MLOs
and annually thereafter. The institution
also must update this information
within 30 days of the date that this
information becomes inaccurate.
Employees of the institution who
submit information to the Registry on
behalf of the institution must verify
their identity and attest that they have
the authority to enter data on behalf of
the institution, that the information
submitted is correct, and that the
covered financial institution will keep
the required information current and
will file accurate supplementary
information on a timely basis.
Financial Institution Disclosure
Requirements
Section 1007.105(a) requires the
institution to make the unique
identifiers of its MLO employees
available to consumers in a manner and
method practicable to the institution.
Financial Institution Recordkeeping
Requirements
Section 1007.104 requires that an
institution that employs one or more
MLOs to adopt and follow written
policies and procedures to, at a
minimum, address certain specified
areas related to MLO registration. These
policies must be appropriate to the
nature, size and complexity of the
institution’s mortgage lending activities
and apply only to those employees
acting within the scope of their
employment at the institution.
