❓ Common Questions

FAQ.

Do we need TILA disclosures on the website?

Yes. TILA requires clear, accurate disclosure of loan terms, APR, rates, and fees. If you provide interest rates or rate estimates on your website, TILA disclosures must be accurate and compliant. A TILA-ready website prevents costly mistakes and FTC enforcement.

How to handle client applications securely?

Mortgage applications collect sensitive financial information (income, credit, SSN, assets). They must be encrypted at rest + in transit (HTTPS + TLS), stored securely, and accessed only by authorized staff. MFA protects admin access. Audit logging captures every view and edit for regulatory compliance.

Multi-state licensing — how do we display it on the website?

If you're licensed in multiple states, your website should clearly list those licenses and provide proof-of-license links. Some states require specific disclaimers. We build websites that comply with state licensing display requirements for all your jurisdictions.

What is RESPA and how does it affect our website?

RESPA (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) prohibits kickbacks and mandates disclosure of settlement costs. Your website should not suggest improper referral relationships or conceal costs. RESPA also requires HUD-1/Closing Disclosure forms in plain language before closing.

Do we need GLBA compliance if we are a small mortgage broker?

Yes. GLBA applies to all financial institutions, including mortgage brokers and loan officers. You collect nonpublic personal information (NPI) and must protect it through documented privacy practices and a comprehensive information security program. FTC enforcement has accelerated since 2023.

Can we serve Polish-American homebuyers without extra compliance?

Yes. GLBA + TILA + RESPA apply the same to all borrowers. We build bilingual (EN/PL) mortgage broker websites with rate calculators, application forms, Privacy Notices, and TILA disclosures in both languages. No extra compliance burden.
