All in HMDA

On January 16, 2026, the Regulatory Report reported that the CFPB will discontinue its email service for notifying users about changes to Home Mortgage Disclosure Amendment (HMDA) requirements, starting January 20, 2026. According to the report, the Bureau cited "operational constraints" as the reason for discontinuation but did not provide any details about what these "operational constraints" were.

On January 7, 2026, the CFPB issued a final rule that adjusted the HMDA exemption threshold from $58 million to $59 million. The adjustment is based on the 2.5 percent increase in the average of the CPI-W for the 12-month period ending in November 2025. Therefore, banks, savings associations, and credit unions with assets of $59 million or less as of Dec. 31, 2025, are exempt from collecting data in 2026.

On May 17, 2024, the FDIC announced that a settlement was reached with Bank of England, England, Arkansas, for violations of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Nine former employees of the Bank of England have also stipulated to individual enforcement actions.
