The CFPB has released the official 2025 national HMDA peer data as of June 23, 2026. We downloaded and converted the data and, as in the past, made sure to match all Institution IDs with the preliminary data that was released on April 3. By ensuring that the Institution IDs align with one another between these sets of data, all Peer Institution Groups created with the preliminary data will continue to work the same as before. It is the CFPB's intent to potentially release updates to the 2025 HMDA data based upon re-submissions, late submissions etc., and we intend to review the extent of any changes periodically to see if updates are warranted. Installation of the Peer data is accomplished as follows: On-premise (client site) Comply installations Download the data for use in…

This year that happened to be nearly 130 institutions which needed to be looked up manually. Keep in mind this is not the official final version of the peer data. The official release usually contains updates to the data, late reporter data, and the official transmittal data for each institution. The official data is typically released in June or July, but we are…

Understanding HMDA Edit Check Types Before diving into specific errors, it's important to understand the three types of HMDA edit checks: Syntax Edits: Verify data format and structure.
