S.A.F.E. Act

Help & FAQs

The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (S.A.F.E. Act) established a national registry for mortgage loan originators called the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS). Maintained by the federal government, the NMLS assigns each registered professional a unique identification number that is provided to consumers upon request and on certain loan documentation. In addition, each financial institution is provided with a NMLS unique identification number. Regions' NMLS ID number is 174490.

This registration information is viewable through the NMLS Consumer Access portal. To perform a search for an individual Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO), click on the link above and then type the MLO's NMLS ID in the search field. If you do not know the NMLS ID you can also search by name, city, state, and/or zip code.

To search all of Regions Bank's registered MLOs in a particular location, please type Regions Bank, city, state (for example, "Regions Bank, Birmingham, Alabama"). Additional search tips are available on the NMLS Consumer Access portal.

If you have general questions about NMLS Consumer Access, please contact the NMLS Call Center at 240-386-4444.
