Escrow accounts established under this section shall be consistent with general lending and servicing standards for real estate loan agreements in this state and with the standards used by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal Housing Administration.

(3)

Notwithstanding ORS 86.245 (5) and (7), the Department of Veterans’ Affairs shall pay interest to a borrower or contract purchaser on funds deposited in the escrow account for the borrower or contract purchaser in the manner and at the rate of interest described in ORS 86.245 (1) to (4).
