Wash. Admin. Code § 208-660-106 - [Effective until 12/31/2022] How does the department interpret the definition of loan processor in RCW 19146-010(12)?
"Loan processor" or "underwriter" means an individual who performs clerical or support duties as an employee (not as an independent contractor) of a person licensed or exempt from licensing and at the direction of and subject to the supervision and instruction of an individual licensed, or exempt from licensing, under this chapter. The job responsibilities may include the receipt, collection and distribution of information common for the processing of a loan. The loan processor may also communicate with a borrower to obtain the information necessary for the processing of a loan, provided that such communication does not include offering or negotiating loan rates or terms, or counseling borrowers about loan rates or terms. A loan processor or underwriter engaged as an independent contractor by a licensee must hold a mortgage loan originator license. See WAC 208-660-300(13).
