Download or read book Mortgage Servicing Community Lenders Remain Active Under New Rules But CFPB Needs More Complete Plan for Reviewing Rules Report to the Chairman Committee on Financial Services House of Representatives written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " As of September 30, 2015, community lenders held about $3.1 billion in MSRs on their balance sheets. Servicing is a part of holding all mortgage loans, but an MSR generally becomes a distinct asset when the loan is sold or securitized. In response to the 2007- 2009 financial crisis, regulators have implemented new rules related to mortgage servicing and regulatory capital to protect consumers and strengthen the financial services industry. GAO was asked to review the effect of these rule changes on U.S. banks and credit unions, particularly community lenders. This report examines (1) community lenders' participation in the mortgage servicing market and potential effects of CFPB's mortgage servicing rules on them, (2) potential effects of the treatment of MSRs in capital rules on community lenders' decisions about holding or selling MSRs, and (3) the process regulators used to consider impacts of these new rules on mortgage servicing and the capital treatment of MSRs. GAO analyzed financial data, reviewed relevant laws and documents from regulatory agencies, and interviewed 16 community lenders selected based on size and volume of mortgage servicing activities, as well as industry, consumer groups, and federal officials.
