As a result of this confusion, your organization faces increasing scrutiny from regulatory agencies and the risks associated with not complying with changing rules.Due to the many coverage options your organization has for protecting your loan portfolio, combined with the ways these programs are implemented and monitored by regulatory agencies, more and more lenders and servicers choose to use a lender-placed insurance expert to assist them in selecting and implementing their lender-placed insurance programs.
