| Practice area | [Banking & Finance (Lending, Securities, Project Finance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/banking-and-finance.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Build a checklist of the disclosure items in Regulation Z § 1026.18 and flag which items the draft contract does not show. Do not rewrite the disclosure box. |
| What the lawyer must review | Section 1026.18 applies to each transaction other than a mortgage transaction subject to § 1026.19(e) and (f). Where it applies, the creditor discloses, as applicable, the creditor’s identity, the amount financed, the finance charge and the annual percentage rate, using those terms. Mortgage loans that use the TRID disclosures are outside § 1026.18. Open the section that applies to this contract, and read the tolerances in § 1026.18(d) before you treat a finance-charge figure as accurate. |
