September 13, 2018 RATA Associates 1 min read

Comply 17.13 is now available for download from the RATA Support site. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 releases and can be implemented at your earliest convenience if needed. As always, check the changes document to see a list of all changes to decide the update priority for your institution. A few clients wanted to test the 2018 submission files on the CFPB portal, so with this version we have enabled the 2018 submission functionality. However, this is not the final submission version. We will be releasing our major update and official submission version of Comply 2018 near the end of October. The CFPB just released substantial changes to the submission process for partially exempt institutions. We will be implementing those changes as well as finalizing the edits and…

Updated 2018 HMDA Changes - Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act

September 4, 2018 RATA Associates 2 min read

The CFPB just released updated 2018 HMDA submission requirements on Friday, August 31. These changes are for the 2018 data currently being collected, and must be used on this data that will be submitted in March 2019. There are both new and modified edits, as well as requirements for partially exempt institutions. We are still digesting the information as the documentation is quite verbose, as usual. We will be adding the submission changes to our Comply 18 release which is still expected to be available by the end of October, but wanted you to know that we are aware of the changes and are actively working on them. Here is a link to the official site:…

FFIEC Releases 2018 Demographic Data

August 20, 2018 RATA Associates 2 min read

RATA Associates is pleased to announce that the 2018 FFIEC demographic data is now available for all RATA Clients. If you use Auto-Updates to keep your system data up to date, you should see the new data available the next time you log in to Comply. If you don't use Auto-Updates the data will be available on the RATA Support Site to download and import. Please note that this is the second year that the demographic data is based on the 2015 ACS.  More info on the 2015 ACS below. Comply links the demographics to the geocoding in the system automatically so once you update your system all new reports and views of the data are retroactive for the entire year. For those of you using our QuickPoint Web Service (QPWS) to geocode applications real-time in your LOS systems, you will only…

Comply 17.12 Now Available

August 2, 2018 RATA Associates 1 min read

Comply 17.12 is now available for download. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 releases and can be implemented at your earliest convenience, if needed. As always, check the changes document to see a list of all changes to decide the update priority for your institution. At the moment, we believe this new version of Comply is fully in sync with the 2018 CFPB FIG edit specifications as they have not published any changes since February.

Comply 17.11 Now Available

May 23, 2018 RATA Associates 1 min read

Comply 17.11 is now available for download. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 releases and can be implemented at your earliest convenience. Since our 17.1 release in March, there have been changes made to Comply that affect both CRA and HMDA reporters. For CRA reporters, the 17.1 update inadvertently ceased to round the Loan Amount, which has been corrected in this release. There have also been a couple edit changes made to correct some Validity and Quality edits as published by the CFPB, including the Q617 edit. At the moment, we believe this new version of Comply is fully in sync with the 2018 CFPB FIG edit specifications as they have not published any changes since February. As always, check the changes document to see a list of all changes to decide the update priority…
