Compliance Alliance Question of the Week

Q: Can I issue an access device off of a HELOC?

A: While not prohibited, there are some risks to keep in mind. The main federal compliance issue is that debit cards issued for HELOCs are generally considered "credit cards" for Regulation Z purposes, subjecting them to the Regulation Z credit card provisions.

Regulation Z's Commentary to 12 CFR 1026.2(a)(15)-2(ii)(C) states that "if a line of credit can also be accessed by a card (such as a debit card), that card is a credit card for purposes of §1026.2(a)(15)(i)", meaning that the debit card falls under Regulation Z's definition of "credit card".

Further, in accordance with 12 CFR 1026.12(d), since the debit card would be a "credit card" under Regulation Z, the bank would generally lose its right of offset under the regulation.

Review Alliance – DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that it is a best practice for all Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOs) to have their NMLS ID Number on their business cards and email signatures?

The SAFE Act requires that an MLO provide their NMLS ID Number at initial contact with a consumer, which is typically in person or via email.
Listing this number on business cards and email signatures provides documented evidence of the MLOs compliance with the SAFE Act.
