CONSUMER COMPLIANCE REVIEW
. . . .
Our comprehensive consumer compliance review uses a risk-based approach to provide an assessment of an institution’s compliance with the federal consumer protection regulations.
This review will simulate the consumer compliance exam performed by federal regulators. It will conduct testing to review the financial institution’s adherence with applicable consumer protection laws, regulations and supervisory guidance. This is an excellent way of monitoring continued compliance to ever-evolving regulations, and ensure regulatory readiness. In order to provide your financial institution with the most value, we always recommend changes with efficiency and cost-efficacy in mind.

FAIR LENDING & HMDA SERVICES
. . . .
Fair Lending Analysis
(Comparative Analysis, Matched Pairs, Regression) Each TRUPOINT Analytics™ reporting suite will be presented in detail with a review led by an experienced compliance consultant.
• Fair Lending HMDA Analysis: Compare your HMDA data for disparate impact.
• Peer HMDA Analysis: Compare your financial institution to others in your market(s).
• Non-HMDA Analysis: Analyze your non-HMDA data through the use of surrogates that assign gender and ethnicity to your data.
Regression Analysis
Regression Analysis is a powerful tool for Fair Lending Compliance. Regression can identify whether race, gender, ethnicity and other
prohibited bases factored into the decision to make or price a loan. Contact us to see if it’s right for you.
Risk Assessments
Identify weaknesses within your Fair Lending Compliance Management Program through a comprehensive review of your risk exposure. We follow the Interagency Fair Lending Examination Procedures. We offer two ways to identify your risk: our self-paced risk assessment tool, TRUPOINT RiskCheck™, or with a consultant.
We will review credit operations; compliance history; assess policies and procedures; review underwriting and pricing process; training; monitoring procedures; analytical procedures; review steering and redlining risks; and examine service and loss mitigation risks to ensure readiness for your next exam. Your risk assessment will be customized based on the regulatory requirements, asset size and complexity of your institution.

Reports include detailed analysis complete with maps, charts, graphs and executive summaries. Depending on your needs, reports are available annually, semi-annually or quarterly. CRA Review
Using the joint agency examination procedures (small, intermediate small or large financial institution criteria), we will assess your CRA
performance with the lending tests and community development standards. We will also review CRA policy, notices and public files.
Assessment Area Review and Determination We geographically and statistically examine
assessment areas and provide recommendations to ensure your unique market areas consist of political subdivisions and refrain from excluding

UDAAP REVIEWS
. . . .
UDAAP visibility and awareness has increased since the Dodd-Frank Act and the creation of the CFPB. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, it is unlawful for any provider of consumer financial products or services or a service provider to engage in any unfair,
deceptive or abusive act or practice.
Our reviews cover the key processes subject to UDAAP (advertising, mortgage lending and servicing, payment processing, and debt collection) and key products (sub-prime products or products geared toward the vulnerable or financially
unsophisticated, overdraft protection products, and prepaid cards).
