Special Alert: CFPB Finalizes Points-and-Fees Cure and Other Mortgage Rule Amendments

Special Alert

Last week, the CFPB finalized an important amendment to its ATR/QM Rule that provides a mechanism for curing points-and-fees overages on qualified mortgage (“QM”) loans, as well as more minor amendments to its mortgage origination and servicing rules. The new rules, which were proposed in April, are detailed below. The discussion below regarding the new origination rules, including the points-and-fees cure, will also appear with the American Bankers Association/Buckley publication, The New CFPB Mortgage Origination Rules Deskbook.
