We support federal laws that help protect consumers.
The practice of “fair lending” is built through multiple federal and state laws working together to ensure consumers are treated consistently and fairly. These laws also require us to provide information to consumers in a clear and conspicuous manner. The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), for example, is a disclosure law that requires mortgage lenders to provide the public with loan data. This data can help determine if lenders such as Highland HomeLoans are serving the housing needs of their communities and it can help identify possible discriminatory lending patterns.

Another important consumer protection law is the SAFE Act. The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act) is a federal law designed to improve protection for consumers and reduce fraud in mortgage lending. Under this law, individual mortgage loan originators (MLOs) must register in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS).
