HMDA data collected during 2026 is due on the HMDA Platform by March 1, 2027. That date is a Monday, so this cycle has no weekend shift to plan around. Whether this is your first filing or your thirtieth, working through a structured preparation process is what keeps the last week of February from turning into a scramble. This checklist covers the steps compliance officers should complete before submitting, and every requirement in it is linked to the FFIEC or CFPB document it comes from. The governing document for this cycle is the 2026 Filing Instructions Guide (FIG), which the FFIEC describes as the guide for "HMDA data collected in 2026" filed with the CFPB in 2027. Key Dates for the 2027 Filing Regulation C sets the annual deadline at March 1 following the calendar year the data…

Every fair lending and CRA software evaluation starts the same way: a shortlist of vendors, a run of demos that all look competent, and a decision that has to be defended internally on something firmer than which interface felt nicer. The difficulty is that the differences between these products are mostly invisible in a demo. They show up eighteen months later, in an examination, when someone asks how a number was produced and the honest answer turns out to be that nobody knows. This is a guide to testing for that in advance. It is written from our side of the table — we sell one of these products — so treat the last section as the interested party it is. The first five are the questions we would ask any vendor in this category, including ourselves. What does fair lending…

The short version. If you have been told HMDA Plus is coming, the date is wrong by about a decade. It is the industry nickname for the expansion the CFPB proposed in 2014 and finalised on 15 October 2015, and most of it took effect on 1 January 2018. It is not a proposal you need to prepare for. It is the reason your LAR looks the way it does now. That matters more than a correction, because a good deal of the material still circulating about it is written in the future tense. If your process was built after 2018 you inherited the outcome without seeing the transition; if it was built before, some of the workarounds from that first filing season are probably still in it. Either way the useful question is not what HMDA Plus proposed. It is what it did to the workflow, and which of those…

A fair lending examination is more predictable than it feels, because the procedure examiners follow is published. The Interagency Fair Lending Examination Procedures set out how scope is decided, what documents get requested, how a focal point is chosen, how files are compared, and what an institution's explanation has to establish to resolve a finding. If you know that sequence, you can assemble most of what will be asked for before it is asked for. This article walks the sequence in order. It is the counterpart to our guide to running a self-assessment, which covers testing yourself. This one covers what happens when someone else does the testing. The document, and which agencies use it The procedures were issued in August 2009 by the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, the…
