The compliance landscape for credit union mortgage operations has never been more complex or critical to navigate successfully. In this eye-opening first episode of our Compliance Summer Mini Series, regulatory expert Michael Christians is joined by ACUMA President Peter Benjamin, warning against developing a false sense of security in today’s shifting environment.
While federal regulators may be stepping back from aggressive enforcement, Michael reveals why this doesn’t mean credit unions can relax their compliance vigilance. Instead, he explains how State Regulators and Attorney Generals are poised to fill the enforcement void, maintaining pressure on credit unions to uphold strict standards in fair lending, UDAP compliance, and mortgage servicing.
Through practical examples and clear explanations, Michael guides listeners through the most pressing compliance challenges facing credit unions today. He explains how fair lending enforcement is evolving under the current administration, why UDAP can touch virtually every corner of mortgage operations, and how seemingly simple oversights like failing to terminate PMI on time can create significant consumer harm and regulatory risk.
Tune in now as Michael uses his expertise to translate complex regulatory concepts into actionable insights, making this episode particularly valuable.
