Standard Procedures Manuals (SPM)
 

Consumer Lending Compliance May 2023


Standard Procedures Manual #1 reviews all of the major federal and California laws and regulations relevant to consumer lending compliance. The Manual is organized around the life cycle of a consumer credit transaction, beginning with advertising and marketing, through processing an application, loan closing, loan servicing, and changes after closing – whether with the borrower’s consent or due to the consumer’s default. This approach allows for a review of each regulation at the stage in the life cycle of a consumer loan when the regulation is relevant.

Note that this Manual does not address mortgage lending compliance. Refer to BCG Standard Procedures Manual #8, Mortgage Lending Compliance, for the compliance requirements associated with mortgage lending.

This Manual addresses the following stages of a consumer loan:

  • Introduction and coverage of the major regulations, including TILA & Regulation Z; ECOA & Regulation B; Fair Credit Reporting Act; Military Lending Act; Servicemembers Civil Relief Act; and UDAP/UDAAP
  • Marketing, advertising and solicitations
  • Distributing the application
  • Receiving and processing the application
  • Loan closing
  • Contract and promissory note issues
  • Loan servicing
  • Subsequent changes
  • Creditor’s remedies on default
  • Penalties and liability

The Manual also addresses electronic disclosures in consumer lending under the E-SIGN Act.

SPM #1 also includes separate discussions regarding any unique compliance issues associated with the following types of consumer loan products:

  • Personal unsecured loans and lines of credit
  • Overdraft lines of credit
  • Credit cards
  • Loans secured by certificates of deposit
  • Loans secured by stock
