Why Temporal for TRID?

Most LOS platforms enforce TRID with rule-based alerts — a flag that fires when a deadline is approaching. If the server restarts, or a deployment happens, or a worker process crashes, that alert may never fire.

Confer enforces TRID compliance using Temporal durable execution workflows. Temporal persists workflow state through server restarts, deployments, and failures. Each TRID timer is a workflow that cannot be lost — it resumes exactly where it left off, regardless of what happens at the infrastructure level.

TRID Timers Managed by Temporal

When a timer expires, the workflow triggers the next pipeline action — clear-to-close confirmation, compliance alert, or regulatory flag — without human intervention.

7-Year Immutable Audit Trail

Every compliance decision — QM determination, TRID timer start/stop, tolerance check result, adverse action generation — is logged and retained for 7 years. Records are immutable and cannot be edited or deleted after creation.

Questions

How does Confer prevent TRID violations?

+

Confer enforces TRID compliance at the infrastructure level using Temporal durable workflows — not reminder emails or rule-based alerts. The 3-business-day Loan Estimate delivery window, the 10-business-day intent-to-proceed window, and the 3-business-day Closing Disclosure waiting period each run inside a dedicated Temporal workflow that persists through server restarts, deployments, and failures. A TRID timer cannot be skipped, misconfigured, or lost in a crash.

What QM categories does Confer verify?

+

Confer's QM/ATR engine determines QM status across General QM, Small Creditor QM, and Balloon QM categories. It classifies loans as Safe Harbor or Rebuttable Presumption based on rate spread, checks HPML (Higher-Priced Mortgage Loan) thresholds against APOR, and validates points-and-fees against the 3% CFPB limit. All 8 ATR factors per 12 CFR § 1026.43(c) are verified.

How does HMDA auto-population work?

+

Confer auto-populates 110+ HMDA LAR (Loan Application Register) fields from loan data collected during origination. Edit-check validation runs against the FFIEC HMDA submission specification. HMDA data export is generated per reporting cycle, reducing the manual data-entry burden at year-end reporting.

What is a 'change of circumstance' and how does Confer handle it?

+

A change of circumstance (COC) is an event that justifies re-issuing a Loan Estimate with revised fees outside RESPA tolerance limits. Confer's compliance engine validates COC events, resets applicable tolerances, and ensures the re-disclosure timeline is met. Tolerance checking runs automatically on fee changes to prevent RESPA violations.

What is the dual wire approval for amounts over $500K?

+

For wire transfers exceeding $500,000, Confer requires dual approval before the wire can be released. This is an anti-fraud safeguard that prevents a single user from authorizing large disbursements. Both approvals are logged in the audit trail with timestamps, approver identities, and wire details.
