What is LicenseLink
ActiveComply has created LicenseLink, a comprehensive link that houses licensing information, state specific disclosures, branch information, and more. Each licensed employee will have a personalized license link that incorporates their individual licensing information from NMLS Consumer Access. Your institution may be utilizing LicenseLink to meet state licensing requirements and to satisfy other compliance concerns on social media.
Where can I use LicenseLink?
There are generally two categories for social media platforms:
Limited-bio social media - social media profiles that have a smaller character allotment than other social media platforms. Examples of Limited-bio social media include: Twitter/X, Instagram, and TikTok.
Full-bio social media - social media platforms that allocate larger amounts of characters for the About/bio section on a profile. Examples of Full-bio social media include Facebook, YouTube, Zillow, etc.
It can be difficult to comply with all federal and state-by-state licensing disclosure guidelines on Limited-bio social media given the character count restrictions. ActiveComply created LicenseLink to better accommodate compliance requirements on Limited-bio social media.
Each individual LicenseLink may be utilized on both Full-bio and Limited-bio social media profiles. A compliance best practice is to include any required disclosures on the Full-bio social media since character space allows.
