Defining and developing the brand capability. The discovery of a brand capability is not a linear process, but an exploration of three basic questions that can help an organization clarify its core brand components.
Escrow Refund Period. Mortgage lenders can take up to 30 days to refund escrow account balances to borrowers whose mortgage loans have been paid off. For several reasons, mortgage lenders tend to take their time refunding their borrowers' escrow accounts.
The lender may require that borrower put money into the account, known as the escrow's reserve. The reserve figure may be the minimum amount the lender requires in the account for the duration of the loan. Escrow reserves are not a prepaid finance charge because the money doesn't affect the loan's APR. A borrower who declines an escrow might have to pay an escrow waiver fee, which is considered a prepaid finance charge if the lender includes the fee in the APR calculation, reports the website My Equity Pro.
