The Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities joined 47 states in a $15.5 million settlement with NewRez LLC for improperly charging borrowers force-placed insurance despite active policies, requiring NewRez to pay penalties and improve monitoring.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must tighten oversight on force-placed insurance practices immediately as regulators are penalising improper borrower charges more aggressively. This opens a stricter compliance bar for mortgage servicers and a chance to win trust by proving fair billing.
