Why is LIBOR being phased out?  What should replace it?  Do you need a transition plan?  Which loans are affected?  Join this timely session to learn the answers to these questions and more!

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Understand why the LIBOR index is being phased out 
• Properly identify a replacement index for your institution’s LIBOR-based credit products 
• Establish a transition plan for your LIBOR-based credit card products 
• Appropriately update your home equity line of credit application disclosures 
• Prepare the subsequent disclosures required in connection with adjustable-rate mortgage loans 

WEBINAR DETAILS 

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) index is tied to several credit products, including credit cards, home equity lines of credit, and adjustable-rate mortgage loans.  Due to irregularities in the behavior of the index over the past several years, the one-month, three-month, six-month, and one-year LIBOR indices will cease publication in June 2023. 

Last year, the CFPB issued a final rule to help financial institutions facilitate the transition away from the LIBOR index.  This webinar will explain components of that rulemaking, including factors to consider when identifying a replacement index and transition requirements for credit cards, HELOCs, and adjustable-rate mortgage loans.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? 

This informative session is designed for lending department leadership, loan officers, loan support staff, compliance professionals, and audit personnel.
