Just two days after revealing new requirements for securitized loans to veterans, the Government National Mortgage Association has restricted three issuers — including one of the biggest mortgage originators.

The changes were required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act in response to refinance churning concerns.
