Comply News

Comply 17.1 is now available for download. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 releases and should be implemented at your earliest convenience. For the last few months the CFPB has made many updates to the 2018 FIG that affect both the data field formatting and the edits. As of this minute, we believe this new version is fully in sync with the FIG. As usual, check the changes document to see what else has changed to decide the update priority for your institution. Because much of this update has to do with 2018 FIG changes we strongly recommend that you install this version ASAP. In addition to the CFPB changes, this version has enhancements and new functionality. The biggest new feature is the introduction of our new Comply Dashboard View which allows users to create…

It has come to our attention that the CFPB is still making changes to the 2017 HMDA submission portal. We have just heard (1/9/18) that they changed the formatting of the Respondent ID field. It is now required that all institutions remove leading zeros and the hyphen for those reporters that use their Tax ID as Respondent ID. The hyphen is still required for the Tax ID field. This represents a huge hurdle for the industry because all HMDA submission tools are designed to make that field 10 digits.

Most of the 2015 updates to HMDA take effect in January 2018. However, now, both the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — both now led by Trump-administration leaders (more, below) — announced they will not be assessing penalties on HMDA data collected in 2018 and reported in 2019. What's more, the CFPB also intends to open a rulemaking to reconsider…

December 21, 2018  HMDA, which was originally enacted in 1975, requires many lenders to report information with respect to applications they receive for certain types of mortgage loans and certain loans that they purchase. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act directed the Bureau to expand the data collected and reported under HMDA to include additional information regarding, for example, mortgage loan underwriting and pricing, and authorized the Bureau to require other data. To that end, the Bureau issued a rule in 2015 that requires financial institutions to collect and report additional mortgage information beginning on January 1, 2018.  In August 2017, the Bureau issued a final rule making technical corrections, clarifying certain reporting…
