FSRA's $860K in mortgage AMPs last year, and what 22 sanctions tell a client who asks if their broker is clean

FSRA's 2024-25 enforcement report landed. Mortgage discipline jumped 54% year-over-year, and your clients will read the headline before you do.

$860,925 in administrative monetary penalties across 22 individual mortgage professionals. The largest single AMP was $118,000. Average per individual, roughly $39,000. The most common trigger pattern across published settlements was not fraud, it was compliance hygiene: incomplete disclosure forms, signed but undated client acknowledgements, and missing private-lender disclosures on deals under sixty days.

FSRA's enforcement director publicly flagged "industry-wide drift on private-deal documentation," meaning the sanction wave is structural, not a one-off. Expect AMPs to keep climbing through 2026.
