Comply 19 Has Been Released - November 15, 2019

We are happy to announce that Comply 19 is now available on our support site for download. This version of Comply contains all of the latest edit changes needed to submit your 2019 HMDA and CRA data. It also contains the new 2020 reporting year so you can start to collect and prepare for the 2020 submissions as well. For the RATA customers that did more than 60,000 applications this year and have quarterly submission requirements, you will be happy to know that the Comply system is ready for that task as well. The article below has more details regarding some of the other more notable changes in this version.

A document listing all of the changes for this version will be released and put in the Comply Resource tab over the next day or two. Please feel free to download and install the update at your earliest convenience. This is a cumulative update and you can update from any version of Comply 18 to become up-to-date.

Thank you and happy reporting.

Comply 19 due to be released November 15, 2019 (Previous Article)

Comply 19 is our latest submission release and will contain everything needed to submit your 2019 data and begin collecting your 2020 data. The 2020 year is a little special because this is the first year that institutions reporting over 60,000 applications must begin submitting quarterly submissions (more about this below). In addition to the submission changes, this release is a cumulative update that includes all patches that have been released throughout the year and many new features and functionality that we believe will help with your regular processing and analysis. We were hoping to have this update out a little earlier, but at the last minute (this month) the CFPB modified the HMDA FIG again so we are having to make sure everything is included and fully tested. We are working hard to get the release out as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. 

Updated Training Videos

Shortly after the Comply 19 release RATA will also be updating all of the training videos and adding many more (both longer and shorter) to make the training more robust and granular. The User Interface has changed a lot since the videos were originally released and we were looking for a good point to redo them and this seems like the time. So, between now and the end of the year we will be releasing those videos as they are completed. 

We will post a full changes document to the Resources section once we get a little bit closer. We will also be posting a video next week that illustrates a lot of these changes so you know what to expect. 

Here are just a few of the more noticeable changes to Comply 19: 

• 2019 and 2020 edits have been updated to the latest HMDA FIG specifications. 
• 2020 report year has been added for data collection. 
• 2020 quarterly submission functionality has been added for larger-volume submitters. 
• Reports will now use datasets to select data, which adds multi-year reporting capabilities. 
• Customization of report header and footers. 
• New Global Set Field operations to help with processing data. 
• Filtering data during import can now be done. 
• Field formatting in the form view to highlight fields related to Quality and Validity edits and Partial Exemption status. 
• Tool tips have been added to the formatted fields to explain exactly why they are highlighted. 
• New Dynamic Edit form view which shows only fields with, or involved with, edits. 
• Added helpful mapping layers such as Peer Data and FDIC Deposit Branch data. 
• Added 2018 fields to the Peer Data and Peer Reporting Entities. 
• Added 2018 fields to the Peer Data for DataMine. 
• Added Definition Groups to help select geographic areas. 
• Plus over 150 miscellaneous fixes and enhancements to general functionality.
