A bridge loan is a fixed rate short-term loan on an individual member’s primary residence. The purpose of the loan is to utilize the equity in the home for a down payment on a new home.
On July 28, 2010, the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) and other Federal Agencies published a final rule to implement the federal registration requirements of the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act). The registration requirements apply to all employees acting in the capacity of a Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO). The SAFE Act requires all MLOs to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS). Once registered, each MLO is provided a Unique Identifier from the NMLS. An MLO must provide this unique identifier to each mortgage loan applicant upon request and prior to the employee acting as an MLO.
