Find Out How the CFPB’s Final Rule Amendments to the HMDA Apply to Your Institution

Effective January 1, 2018, covered lenders must comply with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) final rule that amends Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act’s (HMDA) disclosure rules. The HMDA’s purpose is to provide the public with information about how effectively financial institutions serve the housing needs of communities by requiring depository and non-depository financial institutions to provide certain data. The rule revises the tests for determining which financial institutions and housing-related credit transactions HMDA covers. The final rule requires certain financial institutions to file data on home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) with the CFPB.
