Before the 2008 financial crisis, BAC Community Bank in Stockton made about 100 mortgage loans a year. Now, after new regulations mandated in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the figure is down to about two dozen. "We were never a big mortgage lender, but we did quite a bit more before Dodd-Frank," said Bill Trezza, the bank's chief executive. "It basically pushed us out of that to the point where we will do mortgages only for our customers if they request it."
