FIN §22155: Subject to Section 22157.

Subject to Section 22157.1, a finance lender, broker, mortgage loan originator, or program administrator licensee shall not transact the business licensed or make any loan or administer any PACE program provided for by this division under any other name or at any other place of business than that named in the license except pursuant to a currently effective written order of the commissioner authorizing the other name or other place of business. The commissioner’s order, while effective, shall be deemed to amend the original license issued pursuant to Section 22105 or 22109.1. Notwithstanding any provision of this section, a finance lender, program administrator, broker, or mortgage loan originator licensee may make any loan and engage in any other business provided for by this division, other than the business described in subdivision (b) of Section 22154, at a place other than the licensed location under either of the following conditions: (a) The borrower requests, either orally or in writing, that a loan be initiated or made at a location other than the licensee’s licensed location. The use by the licensee of a preprinted solicitation form returned to the licensee by the borrower shall not constitute a request by the borrower that a loan be initiated or made at a location other than the licensee’s licensed location. (b) The licensee makes a solicitation or advertises for, or makes an offer of, a loan or assessment contract displayed on “home pages” or similar methods by the licensee on the internet, the World Wide Web, or similar proprietary or common carrier electronic systems, and the prospective borrower or property owner may transmit information over these electronic systems to the licensee in connection with the licensee’s offer to make a loan or assessment contract.
