    Can you escrow on a real estate loan for a property that is not used as collateral? Does any regulation address this issue?

    I don’t believe this is specifially addressed in Regulation X or Z. I believe both are referring to escrow related to the collateral that is part of the transaction. What basis would you have to escrow for a property that is not part of the transaction? Is this a customer request?

    Yes, it would be a customer’s request. I feel this action would place unnecessary risk on the bank.
