CA 14-4: Interagency Guidance on Home Equity Lines of Credit Nearing Their End-of Draw Periods
The Federal Reserve Board, alongside other federal banking regulators and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, issued updated guidance requiring supervised financial institutions to strengthen risk management practices for home equity lines of credit approaching their end-of-draw periods. Institutions must implement adequate monitoring and control measures to manage portfolio risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and consistently address borrowers who may struggle to meet contractual repayment obligations. The framework builds on prior supervisory directives to clarify potential credit exposures and outlines specific financial reporting concepts to support effective portfolio oversight and borrower assistance strategies.
