Including home-equity conversion mortgages (HECM) endorsed by the Federal Housing Administration and proprietary reverse mortgages, MetLife Bank closed 1,047 reverse mortgages in March, more than any other company, but down from 1,289 loans in February. Last year, after Wells jumped ship, MetLife saw itself as the clean-up hitter in a rather weak reverse mortgage lineup. With lower pricing for its products, it took the lead in the industry's lower-risk offering, the HECM Saver. Then, last November, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced formal enforcement actions against MetLife and seven other national lenders for "unsafe and unsound practices related to residential mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure processing."
