Truth in Lending: 36(d)(3) Affiliates.
1. For purposes of § 1026.36(d), affiliates are treated as a single “person.” The term “affiliate” is defined in § 1026.32(b)(2). For example, assume a parent company has two mortgage lending subsidiaries. Under § 1026.36(d)(1), subsidiary “A” could not pay a loan originator greater compensation for a loan with an interest rate of 8 percent than it would pay for a loan with an interest rate of 7 percent. If the loan originator may deliver loans to both subsidiaries, they must compensate the loan originator in the same manner.
