A voluntary reporter is an institution that does not meet the reporting criteria but chooses to submit their HMDA data. Be reminded that if you choose to be a voluntary reporter, you are responsible for the accuracy and quality of your data, and your report must comply with Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act HMDA. Prepare your HMDA data submission for the calendar year. Correct all data with validity errors. Generate an Edit Report Listing and check the data containing quality edits; correct the data where appropriate.
This step is an optional one at this time; however, once you receive the edit report, you must check the data flagged with quality edits and if data are reported incorrectly, you should correct it and resubmit a complete file. If you choose to begin the export, a question will appear to verify if you are ready to transmit your submission to your regulatory agency. This message will contain pertinent submission information and should be printed for future reference.
ENC reference file location information. Open your e-mail software and address your e-mail to hmdasub frb. Attach only the file with the extension ". ENC" to your e-mail.

Submission via Internet E-mail provides a confirmation e-mail that the HMDA file was successfully received; however, until the file is processed, there is no guarantee that the file your institution submitted is in an acceptable format.
Processed: Once your data submission is processed, your institution will receive an Edit Report to review and sign off on the confirmation sheet. Make the correction to your HMDA file and send in a complete resubmission; partial resubmissions should not be sent. See the data collection procedure change regarding data resubmissions. Perform a 'Batch Edit' and make sure that all data with validity errors are corrected or data with quality edits are checked and resolved when appropriate.
If you choose the Internet e-mail option to transmit your data, send a complete resubmission to hmdasub frb. Questions about charges and penalties should be directed to your supervisory agency. Institutions are expected to submit valid and accurate HMDA data that have been checked using edits approved for the particular calendar year. If an institution is to resubmit its data, a complete resubmission should be sent; partial resubmissions should not be sent.

In addition, our presenters take a three-part approach to compliance instruction: to educate, to empower, and to entertain. This is achieved by focusing on relevant topics, speaking in simple to understand, layman's terms, and by keeping it light and humorous whenever possible. We have found that this "3-E" approach allow students to learn as quickly and effectively as possible.
And, it adds a little bit of fun to an otherwise dreadful topic. Certificates of completion are now available upon request. One certificate is available per registration. When you purchase this compliance class, you get instant access to the online version of this class for 60 days.
You will also receive an electronic version of the accompanying manual to keep. Successful data collection starts with developing HMDA data collection procedures. Effective HMDA procedures document processes for identifying all HMDA reportable transactions and develop consistent approaches for identifying the underlying source of information for reporting data fields on the HMDA loan application register LAR to ensure accurate data collection.
Although HMDA applies to both depository and nondepository financial institutions, this article only addresses the requirements for depository institutions. Once an institution confirms it is covered by HMDA, the next step in the data collection and reporting process is to identify all HMDA reportable transactions. Generally speaking, unless a transaction is expressly excluded under 12 C. An institution that incorrectly determines whether HMDA applies to a particular transaction could collect GMI when it is not required, or fail to collect it when it is, resulting in examination violations and potential fair lending issues.
HMDA reporting requirements apply to loans or applications that satisfy the following requirements:. But even if a HMDA reporter is partially exempt, it must still collect and report the nonexempt data points.
The open- and closed-end exemptions operate independently from each other; an institution may qualify for one partial exemption but not the other. Further, business lines other than those offering traditional residential mortgages may offer credit extensions that require the institutions to collect and report HMDA data. For example, the commercial loan department may originate purchase-money loans for multifamily buildings such as apartment, cooperative, or condominium buildings.
Originating HMDA-reportable transactions in multiple business lines makes identifying and collecting data more challenging, and staff in nonmortgage origination business lines may not be as mindful of HMDA requirements in day-to-day operations.
As a reminder, this table is illustrative; other types of loans may be HMDA reportable. The purpose test now only applies to dwelling-secured loans with a business or commercial purpose. Institutions have different methods of ensuring that they accurately identify HMDA-reportable transactions.
At some institutions, lenders are initially responsible for identifying HMDA-related applications, and the compliance department confirms lenders identified all covered applications by comparing the new loan list with the HMDA LAR. Larger reporters often use automated systems to identify HMDA-reportable transactions.
It is also important that financial institutions have a process to track nonoriginated loan applications, such as denied, withdrawn, approved but not accepted, or incomplete applications that have a HMDA purpose. If an institution has a largely manual HMDA process, a centralized review of all nonoriginated loan applications can help ensure the institution reports nonoriginated applications appropriately.
Deciding how an organization will handle certain HMDA scenarios, such as determining the specific information to report for which the regulation allows some latitude , eliminates guesswork and ensures consistency across business lines. Some examples of situations in which the bank should determine in advance how it will respond include:.
