HUD Issues New Guidance to Protect Borrowers from Appraisal Bias
May 1, 2024
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), announced a major new step in the Department’s work to protect borrowers from racial or ethnic bias in home appraisals. FHA’s new requirement for lenders participating in its Single Family program will enable borrowers to request a re-assessment of the appraised value of their property if they believe that the appraisal was inaccurate or biased. The Reconsideration of Value policy represents months of collaboration with the Federal Housing Finance Agency to develop an aligned approach for both FHA-insured mortgages and those purchased or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

CFPB Highlights the Hidden Costs of Health Savings Accounts
May 1, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) today released a report detailing the complex costs and fees that many consumers with health savings accounts are forced to pay. There were approximately 36 million health savings accounts in 2023 – holding more than $116 billion. These accounts provide tax benefits to help offset the costs of high deductible health plans. However, these benefits are being offset by charges like monthly maintenance fees, paper statement fees, outbound transfer fees, and account closure fees. Today’s report is part of the CFPB’s continuing efforts to reduce the risks and costs brought by financial institutions as they increase their presence in the American healthcare system.

Success Story
Denise D. LaneWe engaged Compliance Alliance nearly four years ago to assist in managing the many new regulations and continuous changes to existing regulations. The tools C/A offered at that time were excellent and just continue to get better! We find the policy templates easy to customize, which is a tremendous help. Several employees at our bank utilize the online chat feature which is a GREAT tool! C/A’s representatives are experts, and will immediately respond to our request for information. If they are in chat with another client, they will even let you know, so you are not left wondering if they have received your request to chat. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Compliance Alliance … GREAT resource in all areas of regulatory compliance!”

Success Story
Laurie GoodlockCompliance Alliance is a great fit for Farmers State Bank, a 70M bank in mid-Michigan. As the Chief Marketing Officer, I’m constantly developing new marketing pieces for the bank and Compliance Alliance is always right there with me keeping my promotional concepts up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements. I can email my ideas directly to Compliance Alliance knowing that I’ll have a response the next day! This gives me the peace of mind I need to focus on our campaigns and other programs while not getting bogged down with regulatory worries. highly recommend a partnership with Compliance Alliance.”

Jason CarrollThe chat feature’s quick turn-around time is what separates C/A from other compliance professionals. Not only is the response quick, in our experience, it is very detailed. And to have the transcript from the chat emailed for future reference—that has been very beneficial on many occasion. My compliance officers love the chat. Personally, I recall a time when in a meeting, our president had a question I could not answer. I logged into a chat session while the meeting was happening, got an answer, and was able to respond in minutes. I couldn’t do that with any other service.”
