Finance Charges: Getting It Right! - Details

Finance Charges: Getting It Right!

Management wants to charge a new fee on a loan. You have never heard of it. Is it a finance charge or not? Then an out-of-state title company presents another unfamiliar fee. What do you do next? Although Regulation Z doesn’t provide a specific list of items that are or aren’t finance charges, it provides a road map. This program will explain what we call the “Regulation Z Finance Charge Decision Tree” to ensure you make the right decision every time. This webinar will cover the regulation in detail; explain the decision tree for fees not set forth in the regulation; and address how the wrong decision could impact your institution.
