Now that you have filed your 2019 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”) data, it is time to focus on 2020. The CFPB has issued the new 2020 Filing Instructions Guide (“FIG”) for submissions and data collection which can be found on the FFIEC website.  The 2020 updates incorporate changes to the HMDA Rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in October 2019.  The 2020 FIG can be found at https://www.ffiec.gov/hmda/guide.htm

While there are no substantial changes as to how you compile and submit your data, it is important to point out that we are seeing regulators requiring resubmissions and rescrubbing of HMDA data if it is not completed correctly. If you struggled with compiling and scrubbing last year’s HMDA data, Regulatory Solutions is here to help. Using our proprietary HMDA software, we compare your source documents in the loan file to the data points recorded on the HMDA LAR and provide you with an exception report detailing data points which need correction.   Contact us today to begin your 2020 HMDA LAR Data Scrub.
