Closed-end MOB Premium
Calculations
&
Considerations
 
The impact of Predatory Lending Legislation:
  • Single Premium computations expressly prohibited for loans secured by real estate.
  • Amendments to HOEPA do not expressly prohibit single premium but effectively prohibit its use by including single premium amounts in the trigger amounts for high cost mortgage loans.
  • No end in sight for Predatory Lending legislation.
  • Prohibition of Single Premium on real estate transactions gives carriers a reason to evaluate overall policies and objectives.
 
Why is "MOB" touted as a better alternative for consumers?
  • Premium amounts will be lower with MOB than with Single Premium for corresponding transactions.
  • Total interest charges will be substantially lower than when premiums are financed and interest accrues on the premium amount for the life of the transaction.
  • The "pay as you go" concept is viewed as more equitable and consumers can easily cancel the insurance coverage at any time.
Valid Assumptions and Premises???
 
Rules for Traditional "MOB" Premium Calculations
  • The Declining Insurance Base is the Outstanding Principal Balance.
  • Insurance premium is treated as an "other charge". It is neither Amount Financed nor Finance Charge.
  • The premium is assumed to be earned, assessed, collected, and remitted at the end of each computational period.
  • The premium is not financed.
