I am looking to see what if any CDD/EDD you are doing for import/export companies.  With the Amazon boom and our current influx of businesses stating they are importing and exporting goods we are finding CDD a challenge with our offices.  Several do not have locations as they are operating as brokers.  I am interesting to see if others have had an increase and what, if any, other steps you may have taken to validate that they are importing/exporting items.  
We do site visits and internet searches on addresses, names, vendors and their websites.

when calculating lender placed hazard coverage on a JR. lien does the 1st mortgage come into play if held by another institution?

I'm wondering if anyone has an example of a vendor management audit that they would be willing to share? Thank you in advance!

I am looking for an Excel Spreadsheet that will let me input the monthly totals for assumed and actual volume for an MSB customer. Does anyone have a monthly spreadsheet that they use that is set-up to give an analysis of the transactions?

Thanks!

How do other banks manage customers making principal payments on interest only construction loans?  Do you prepay interest which creates negative interest or do you allow your customers to reduce principal which may impact the permanent loan at conversion?  Do you impose a prepayment penalty?

Any help is appreciated!

Just curious to see if anyone has any input (policies, risk assessments, etc.) on Issuing/Acquiring that they are willing to share or collaborate on? Currently working with Visa and MasterCard but always open to lessons learned and best practices. Thanks in advance.
