Compliance Checklist
# Marketing Compliance Checklist for Loan Officer Training and Oversight
Mortgage companies know that ensuring compliance with regulations across all loan officers can be a difficult and daunting task. The best way to get out ahead of regulatory risk is to build a robust compliance program that includes strong loan officer training and oversight processes.
## We've got you covered.
Use this checklist to help shape your organization’s compliance program—from loan officer onboarding, training, and education to compliance monitoring, remediation, and technology—to ensure your loan officers are compliant in all of their marketing communications.
[Let's get started](https://content.performline.com/checklist/social-media-compliance-loan-officers#form)
## Loan Officer Onboarding
Provide documentation and ensure loan officers have a clear understanding of:
Mortgage-specific regulations, including both federal and state-level regulations
Provide a list of regulatory requirements for their social media sites, including:
Company name and NMLS number
NMLS Consumer Access [link](https://nmlsconsumeraccess.org/)
Loan officer’s name and NMLS number
Equal Housing Lender statement or logo
Company brand guidelines
Guidelines for communicating with consumers on social media accounts
Review and approval process for content
Importance of compliance and the consequences of non-compliance
## Training and Education
Regularly review and update the company's social media policy and compliance training to stay current with changes in regulations and emerging risks by:
Staying up-to-date on the latest regulatory trends in the mortgage industry through:
Regulatory agency websites, such as the [Consumer Financial Protection Bureau](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/) (CFPB), [Federal Trade Commission](https://www.ftc.gov/) (FTC), and [Department of Housing and Urban Development](https://www.hud.gov/) (HUD)
Industry publications, such as [Mortgage News Daily](https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/) and [National Mortgage News](https://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/)
Professional associations and organizations, such as the [Mortgage Bankers Association](https://www.mba.org/) (MBA) and the [National Association of Mortgage Professionals](https://www.mortgagem.org/register/) (NAMP)
Joining the [COMPLY Mortgage Regulatory Compliance Community](https://comply.performline.com/community/mortgage)
Utilize industry resources such as webinars, workshops, and conferences to stay current on emerging social media compliance issues
Conduct regular internal compliance training programs for loan officers, which includes:
Review of the company's current social media policy and guidelines for compliance
Specifically highlight any updates from previous training session(s)
Recent enforcement actions by regulators and the compliance takeaways from them
Social media best practices and resources to stay current on social media compliance regulations
New or emerging social media platforms and how to ensure compliance on them
Demonstrate examples of successful/compliant social campaigns to run vs. noncompliant social posts ([*here are a few examples to start*](https://content.performline.com/the-good-and-the-bad-of-loan-officers-social-posts))
Provide compliance-approved social media templates
Discuss prohibited content and actions, such as making misleading or false statements or using unapproved advertising materials
Emphasize the importance of transparency and the disclosure of important loan terms and features on social media platforms
Provide guidance on disclosing important loan terms and features, such as annual percentage rate (APR) and fees, and making sure that disclosures are clear and conspicuous
How to properly respond to social media complaints or negative reviews, and what type of language to avoid using
## Enforcement and Remediation
Have a clear action plan for instances of non-compliance by a loan officer. This may include:
Notify the loan officer of the violation and remind them of the company’s social media policy and regulatory obligations
Removal or remediation of non-compliant content
Document instances of non-compliance and remediation by the loan officer
Determine appropriate disciplinary actions for loan officers who repeatedly engage in non-compliant behavior
## Monitoring + Auditing
Have a system in place to monitor:
Multiple platforms that loan officers may be using, including (but not limited to):
Facebook
Twitter
LinkedIn
Instagram
TikTok
YouTube
Pinterest
Reddit
Nextdoor
Zillow
Trulia
Yelp
Personal blogs or websites
Email marketing (including email signatures)
Content of posts and flag for missing or inaccurate information, including:
Missing NMLS #
Direct mention of mortgage rates (*instead of linking to an updated website page*)
Inappropriate superlatives
Urgency abuse
Offerings that have not been created or approved by the company
## Technology
Implement a social media compliance software or tool to help monitor loan officer's social media activity and ensure compliance with regulations that includes:
Automatic discovery of your brand and loan officers across the web and on social platforms
Ongoing monitoring across the web and most prevalent social media platforms
OCR capabilities to review and score the text from within any image shared in a social post
