Who oversees NMLS/R?

Who oversees NMLS/R?

• A. Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS)
• B. Federal Reserve Board
• C. Federal Housing Finance Agency
• D. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

Answer: (A)

Mortgage licensing and the registry for mortgage loan originators are overseen by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS). CSBS brings together state financial regulators to administer and coordinate the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry, ensuring consistency across jurisdictions. The NMLS is the centralized tool states use to license, track license status, and handle related requirements like continuing education and background checks. While federal regulators such as the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency supervise banks and mortgage activity within their own domains, they do not oversee the NMLS itself.
