OCC Proposes Rule on Predatory Lending
Rule would also address states’ regulation of national banks August 8, 2003 By MortgageDaily.com staff |
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) this week proposed a rule regarding predatory lending by banks.
The new rule would prevent national banks from making the foreclosure value of the property the main factor in a lending decision, a statement from the OCC said. The proposal, if approved, would “add an explicit safety-and-soundness-based, anti-predatory-lending standard to the general statement of authority concerning real estate lending.” Also included in the proposal are clarifications on pre-emption. The OCC says the rules it is proposing would “provide more comprehensive standards regarding the applicability of state laws to lending, deposit-taking, and other authorized activities of national banks.” The new rules would also help differentiate between state laws that are and are not usually pre-empted. Comments about the proposal can be sent to the OCC. To be considered, they must be received by Oct. 6. Related Story: Comptroller Says Banks Not Really the Predatory Problem |
