Truth in Lending: 36(d) Prohibited Payments to Loan Originators.

1. Persons covered.607 Section 1026.36(d) prohibits any person (including a creditor) from paying compensation to a loan originator in connection with a covered credit transaction, if the amount of the payment is based on a term of a transaction. For example, a person that purchases an extension of credit from the creditor after consummation may not compensate the loan originator in a manner that violates § 1026.36(d).

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.

Truth in Lending: 36(e)(1) General.

1. Steering. For purposes of § 1026.36(e), directing or “steering” a consumer to consummate a particular credit transaction means advising, counseling, or otherwise influencing a consumer to accept that transaction. For such actions to constitute steering, the consumer must actually consummate the transaction in question. Thus, § 1026.36(e)(1) does not address the actions of a loan originator if the consumer does not actually obtain a loan through that loan originator.

Truth in Lending: 36(e)(2) Permissible Transactions.

1. Safe harbors. A loan originator that satisfies § 1026.36(e)(2) is deemed to comply with § 1026.36(e)(1). A loan originator that does not satisfy § 1026.36(e)(2) is not subject to any presumption regarding the originator’s compliance or noncompliance with § 1026.36(e)(1).

Truth in Lending: 36(e)(3) Loan Options Presented.

1. Significant number of creditors. A significant number of the creditors with which a loan originator regularly does business is three or more of those creditors. If the loan originator regularly does business with fewer than three creditors, the originator is deemed to comply by obtaining loan options from all the creditors with which it regularly does business.

Truth in Lending: 36(f) Loan Originator Qualification Requirements.

Editor’s Note622

1. Scope.623 Section 1026.36(f) sets forth qualification requirements that a loan originator must meet. As provided in § 1026.36(a)(1) and accompanying commentary, the term “loan originator” includes natural persons and organizations and does not exclude creditors for purposes of the qualification requirements in § 1026.36(f).
