FeeForge classifies every fee against finance charge rules, QM thresholds, state high-cost definitions, and RESPA affiliate restrictions — then tracks it through your entire disclosure lifecycle.
| Fee | Classification | QM Status |
|---|---|---|
| Underwriting | Finance Charge | ✓ In Threshold |
| Appraisal | Section 32 | ✓ Below HOEPA |
| Origination | RESPA Affiliate | ⚠ Restricted |
| Credit Report | Permitted | ✓ Allowed |
| Tax Service | Finance Charge | ✓ In Threshold |
Existing Loan Origination Systems treat fee management as a configuration side-effect. Fees get copied forward from prior loans. Expired DPA programs stay active. RESPA affiliate restrictions get violated at the channel level. QM points-and-fees thresholds get exceeded without anyone noticing until the GSE sale is rejected.
FeeForge was built for the loan officer who needs to know — right now — whether this fee is allowed on this channel with this program, whether it triggers a re-disclosure, and whether it will survive a compliance audit.
Every fee classified against finance charge rules, Section 32 HOEPA thresholds, QM points-and-fees caps, and state-specific high-cost definitions. Version-controlled rule sets with full change history.
Configure fee eligibility at the channel, program, state, region, and branch level. Restricted fees auto-generate compliance tasks. Orphaned fees — those with no active program backing — surface for cleanup.
Apply lender credits to APR-affecting fees first, then fee-specific allocations. Track tolerance cure status at the loan level — cured, pending, or in violation — with the exact amounts and fee origins.
Simulate Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure output before commitment. Test tolerance cures, fee waterfall impacts, and re-disclosure triggers against live regulatory thresholds — without touching the actual loan file.
Automatically distinguish TLA (third-party lender affiliate) from RESPA Section 8 affiliate fees. Track which fees require re-disclosure, which are prohibited outright, and which carry restrictions per your channel configuration.
Time-limited programs — DPA credits, lender concessions, special state incentives — auto-expire and stop appearing on new originations. Reapproval workflows surface automatically before expiration dates, so nothing falls through.
FeeForge is the fee intelligence layer
the mortgage industry has needed
for twenty years.
Built for lenders who process volume at scale and can't afford a compliance failure to slip through.
