The Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and its affiliate – the State Regulatory Registry LLC (SRR) – have announced plans to enhance the use of the NMLS to accommodate state use of the System for non-mortgage, non-depository financial services industries. This will give states the ability to use NMLS to license or register entities in a number of financial services industries, including consumer lending, money services businesses and debt collection. A dozen states are scheduled to start transitioning existing licenses and registrations onto NMLS as soon as this April, with more to follow in 2013.
