MBA NEWSLINK: What are some key trends your company is tracking?

Shelley Metz-Galloway

SHELLEY METZ-GALLOWAY: The ability of financial institutions to successfully navigate the changing regulatory landscape during and while coming out of the pandemic is a considerable concern for our mortgage industry clients. With increasing focus by regulators on Post-COVID 19 Loss Mitigation and Loan Servicing practices, we are well versed in the challenges the industry is facing and are working closely with industry leaders to support their ability to meet these pressing demands. Additionally, regulatory focus on the impact of COVID 19 on Fair Lending and UDAAP Risks in the mortgage industry – for both originations and servicing – is another area of concern for the industry. The CFPB has shared its expectation for equitable outcomes for consumers seeking loss mitigation and alternative foreclosure options, and Protiviti is pleased to be able to assist our mortgage clients in building and executing strategies that meet those expectations and/or to confirm that they are on track to do the same. Finally, Protiviti is working with financial institutions to assist them with increasing and improving the resiliency of mortgage servicing and complaints management in a post-COVID 19 world as this will be equally important to regulators who will be looking to determine if mortgage companies have developed successful customer remediation plans for any areas where they have missed the mark. The degree of change in the industry right now is tremendous, and Protiviti is privileged to be able to bring confidence to the industry in these dynamic times.
