§1831b — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

Insured depository institutions, insured branches of foreign banks, and mutual savings or cooperative banks that are not insured must not make federally related mortgage loans to an agent, trustee, nominee, or other person acting for someone else unless the bank always knows who actually receives the benefit of the loan. If the Corporation asks, the bank must report who that beneficiary is and the nature and amount of the loan, discount, or credit. Mutual savings and cooperative banks that are not insured can be enforced under section 1818. For that purpose, those banks are treated like State nonmember insured banks, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is the appropriate federal agency.

(a)No insured depository institution, insured branch of a foreign bank, or mutual savings or cooperative bank which is not an insured depository institution, shall make any federally related mortgage loan to any agent, trustee, nominee, or other person acting in a fiduciary capacity without the prior condition that the identity of the person receiving the beneficial interest of such loan shall at all times be revealed to the insured depository institution, insured branch, or bank. At the request of the Corporation, the insured depository institution, insured branch, or bank shall report to the Corporation on the identity of such person and the nature and amount of the loan, discount, or other extension of credit.

(b)In addition to other available remedies, this section may be enforced with respect to mutual savings and cooperative banks which are not insured depository institutions in accordance with section 1818 of this title, and for such purpose such mutual savings and cooperative banks shall be held and considered to be State nonmember insured banks and the appropriate Federal agency with respect to such mutual savings and cooperative banks shall be the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
