CFPB Releases Preliminary 2025 HMDA Peer Data
The CFPB released the "preliminary" 2025 HMDA Peer data file on March 31st, which is now available in Comply. As always, this data release does not include the Transmittal File that tells us who each reporter is. RATA downloads the file, links up the Transmittal information from last year based on the LEI number with any institutions that match, and then look up any institutions' LEI information for the ones that don't match. 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…
RATA announces the release of the Year-End Geocode Redo file: Please apply before submitting
Thank you as always for using the RATA Comply software and Geocoding services to help with your HMDA and/or CRA submissions. As part of our efforts to ensure that you have the highest quality and most current geocode results for submission, we re-geocode every application that was submitted prior to January 22nd to try and improve the precision codes. We go through the file to look for improvements to any geocodes based on the precision codes and then return any improved results in the Year-End (YE) geocode update file. This file should be applied to your Comply system at your earliest convenience to assure that these improved results are a part of your submission. The YE update file will only affect records submitted before January 22, 2026. If you have submitted more geocoding after…
Comply 25.01 Update is now Available
The CFPB published a validity edit change as well as the removal of a quality edit for the 2026 reporting year after we released the Comply 25.0 update. In order to get these changes, as well as a few other minor bug fixes into the hands of all users before any potential quarterly 2026 submissions, we are releasing a minor 25.01 update. If you are not a quarterly reporter or are not affected by the other bug fixes noted in the Comply changes document, then there is no need to update to 25.01 as these changes will appear in our 25.1 release later in the spring. Please contact us if you have any questions.
To all RATA Hosted Services (RHS) clients, we will be installing the 25.01 update this coming weekend, so you should not have any issues.
CRA Peer, Performance Evaluation, and Market Share Data Now Available in Comply
We are pleased to announce that the latest CRA Peer, Performance Evaluation, and Market Share data are now available for use in Comply. For On-Premise Comply Users: The 2024 CRA Aggregate and Disclosure data (also known as CRA Peer Data) used for CRA Peer analysis was released by the FFIEC/CFPB on Thursday, November 13th. RATA has completed the process of downloading and converting this data for use in Comply. The file is named PEERCRA24 and will need to be manually downloaded from the RATA Support Site and imported into Comply using the Import System Data function. The CRA Performance Evaluation and Market Share data (subsets of the Peer Data) were also compiled and released. This data is required for generating specific reports in Comply, including the CRA Performance Evaluation and…
Comply 25 Is Now Available (Mandatory Update Before 2025 Submission)
We are happy to announce that Comply 25 is now available on our support site for download. This version of Comply contains all of the latest edit and submission changes needed to submit your 2025 HMDA, CRA and SBL data. It also contains the new 2026 reporting year so you can start to collect and prepare for the 2026 submissions as well. Comply 25 contains several enhancements and updates that will benefit all users. For CRA users, the encryption capability for the submission file has been updated to properly encrypt submission files in the manner that the FFIEC expects. Last year, following the 64-bit conversion, it was discovered that the encryption did not follow the FFIEC methodology in a 64-bit environment. Since this is corrected, CRA submissions should operate as expected for your…
