Business Day (general): A business day is a day on which the creditor’s offices are open to the public for carrying out substantially all of its business functions. Note: The general business day count is used for the purposes of providing the Loan Estimate (LE), expiration of Loan Estimate or any revised Loan Estimate. For this determination, PBM is open for business Monday through Friday.
Business Day (precise): For all other disclosure purposes, a business day means all calendar days except Sundays and legal public holidays (also used for recession).
Consummation: The day the consumer becomes financially obligated (note signing). The consummation date is the “closing date” on the Closing Disclosure.
Mailbox Rule: The consumer is presumed to receive the disclosure (LE/CD) three business days (precise days) after the creditor places in the mail. Do not count mailing day.
