Adverse Action Notes
Every loan denial must include a compliant adverse action notice delivered within 30 days (ECOA / Reg B). StackFactor EXCEED certifies every loan officer on Reg B so the mistake never happens, and SHIELD locks down the IT controls in your LOS so only certified officers can issue notices.
Why Adverse Action Notices Slip
ECOA and Reg B require a compliant notice on every denial within 30 days — and exams find the gaps.
Overdue Notices
Regulators cite late notices at exam time. A repeat finding triggers a consent order and restricts lending.
Non-Compliant Reason Codes
Loan officers aren't sure which denial reasons are compliant or how to document the rationale under Reg B.
No Branch-Level Visibility
Managers don't see which officers are sending late or incomplete notices until auditors flag them.
From Denial to Compliant Notice
StackFactor EXCEED turns adverse action compliance into a coached, certified workforce capability — never an exam surprise.
Trained Loan Officers
EXCEED delivers scenario-based Reg B training and micro-assessments so loan officers know exactly when an adverse action notice is required and how to write a compliant reason.
EXCEEDProven Proficiency
EXCEED measures Reg B proficiency with assessments tied to real-world denial scenarios — tracking who is current and who needs a refresher.
EXCEEDContinuous Exam Readiness
Workforce-readiness dashboards show fair-lending training currency, proficiency trends, and audit-ready certification evidence by branch.
EXCEEDMultiple Roles. One Problem.
Adverse action compliance spans compliance, lending operations, branch management, and executive leadership. Each role has a different pain point, but they all need the same outcome.
Chief Compliance Officer
Needs to prove the compliance program works before regulators find it doesn’t.
Loan Officer
Doesn’t know which denial reasons are compliant or how to document properly.
Branch Manager
No visibility into which officers are sending late or non-compliant notices.
SVP of Lending
Can’t prove to the board that compliance training is actually reducing risk.
