Policies and Procedures for 3rd Party Processing Firms
While processing companies don't (or shouldn't) negotiate applications, for firms without internal capacity, outsourced processing is the service that allows them to function, bridge the gap, or provide expertise that simply cannot be found in a marketplace. However, when an independent processor decides to offer services as a contractor, the licensing and employee umbrella disappears, and the processor/firm must undertake licensing and observe compliance as if it were a mortgage company.
In fact, the processing company is a mortgage company, simply without direct retail origination, so you need to have internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance.
