Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements

The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

2018 Expanded Data Field ChangesBy now you likely have systems policies procedures and training in place to collect the potential 110 data fields required for applications closing in 2018 relating to Unique identifiers
Universal loan identifier property address loan originator identifier and legal entity identifier for the institution
Information about the features of the loanLoan term interest rate introductory rate period non-amortizing features and type of loan
Information about the property securing the loanConstruction method property value lien priority of individual dwelling units and manufactured and multifamily housing data
Information about applicants and borrowersAge credit score Debt to Income (DTI) denial reasons application channel race ethnicity gender
Information about the underwriting process and pricing data

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

that many institutions relied on for years will no longer be available for data entry or submission
CFPB will be publishing a LoanApplication Register (LAR) Formatting Tool that will assist filers with small loan volumes in preparing the HMDA LAR for submission LAR Formatting Tool requires the use of the Microsoftreg Visual

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

Key revision from August FIG 2017 for RaceEthnicity ldquoOthersrdquo
For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash GMI Permutations How to use all of that collected data ldquoSignificance of 121000 GMI combinations represents 13
of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 57
HMDA Amendments ndash Voluntary Reporting
Voluntary Reporting12 CFR 10033ldquo(c) Excluded transactions The requirements of this part do not apply to (11) A closed-end mortgage loan if the financial institution originated fewer than 25 closed-end mortgage loans in either of the two preceding calendar years a financial institution may collect record report and disclose information as described in sectsect 10034 and 10035 for such an excluded closed-end mortgage loan as though it were a covered loan provided that the financial institution complies with such requirements for all applications for closed-end mortgage loans that it receives closed-end mortgage loans that it originates and closed-end mortgage loans that it purchases that otherwise would have been covered loans during the calendar year during which final action is taken on the excluded closed-end mortgage loanrdquo

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018
For loans subject to Regulation Z lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originatorrsquos NMLSR ID for purchased loans originated before January 1 2014
For loans not subject to Regulation Z commercial loans for example originated prior to January 1 2018 lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originator ID
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 63
Amendments to Reg B (ECOA) ndash Impacting HMDA
Amendments to Reg B (ECOA) Impacting HMDA
Intersection of Regulation B and Regulation C (HMDA) prior toAmendment Collect government monitoring information under Regulation
B for applications for credit ldquoprimarily for the purchase or refinancing of a dwelling occupied or to be occupied by the applicant as a principal residence where the extension of credit will be secured by the dwelling rdquo
Collect and report demographic information from the applicant and first co-applicant under Regulation C for applications and originations for closed-end and open-end loans secured by a dwelling (and for commercial loans meet the purpose test)
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 65
Amendments to Reg B (ECOA) Impacting HMDA (Contrsquod)
Post Amendments to Both Regulations Lenders may use HMDA demographic questions (disaggregated
questions) for Regulations B and C lenders may opt to use the aggregated questions instead of disaggregated questions for Regulation B
Lenders must collect and report demographic information using disaggregated questions from applicant and first co-applicant lenders may collect demographic information using disaggregated questions from the third fourth etc applicants without violating Regulation B for commercial loans lenders may collect demographic information when a lender is uncertain that the loan will pass the purpose test without violating Regulation B

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

2018 Expanded Data Field ChangesBy now you likely have systems policies procedures and training in place to collect the potential 110 data fields required for applications closing in 2018 relating to Unique identifiers
Universal loan identifier property address loan originator identifier and legal entity identifier for the institution
Information about the features of the loanLoan term interest rate introductory rate period non-amortizing features and type of loan

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

2018 Expanded Data Field ChangesBy now you likely have systems policies procedures and training in place to collect the potential 110 data fields required for applications closing in 2018 relating to Unique identifiers
Universal loan identifier property address loan originator identifier and legal entity identifier for the institution
Information about the features of the loanLoan term interest rate introductory rate period non-amortizing features and type of loan
Information about the property securing the loanConstruction method property value lien priority of individual dwelling units and manufactured and multifamily housing data

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

HMDA Amendments ndash Voluntary Reporting
Voluntary Reporting12 CFR 10033ldquo(c) Excluded transactions The requirements of this part do not apply to (11) A closed-end mortgage loan if the financial institution originated fewer than 25 closed-end mortgage loans in either of the two preceding calendar years a financial institution may collect record report and disclose information as described in sectsect 10034 and 10035 for such an excluded closed-end mortgage loan as though it were a covered loan provided that the financial institution complies with such requirements for all applications for closed-end mortgage loans that it receives closed-end mortgage loans that it originates and closed-end mortgage loans that it purchases that otherwise would have been covered loans during the calendar year during which final action is taken on the excluded closed-end mortgage loanrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Fair Lending Data Analytics
Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

Fair Lending Data Analytics - Expanded GMI
Expanded Government Monitoring Information (GMI) ldquoContextrdquo GMI data collection has always been in place but expanded data collection is
now aligning with how US census has been collecting data

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash GMI Values
What will be collectedreported ldquoExpanded RaceEthSexrdquo
Race 5 values per Applicant Ethnicity 5 values per Applicant Sex 3 values are Male Female or Male amp Female per Applicant
Key revision from August FIG 2017 for RaceEthnicity ldquoOthersrdquo
For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash GMI Permutations How to use all of that collected data ldquoSignificance of 121000 GMI combinations represents 13
of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities
VS
A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018
For loans subject to Regulation Z lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originatorrsquos NMLSR ID for purchased loans originated before January 1 2014

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

2018 Expanded Data Field ChangesBy now you likely have systems policies procedures and training in place to collect the potential 110 data fields required for applications closing in 2018 relating to Unique identifiers
Universal loan identifier property address loan originator identifier and legal entity identifier for the institution
Information about the features of the loanLoan term interest rate introductory rate period non-amortizing features and type of loan

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Overview of the New HMDA changes
Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements
9Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved
The new HMDA rule initially issued in Oct 2015 updated Aug 24 2017 changes just about everything
Unprecedented sweeping HMDA changes are now a reality These changes are the most significant in 35 years 29 to 48 data points however 110 possible fields per record Post-implementation analytical possibilities very rich New expanded fields provide regulators advocacy groups and the industry with
opportunities and challenges Capturing compiling reporting and analyzing the new HMDA report will strain every part of
your lending and compliance teams

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Why is HMDA Data Important HMDA and CRA data are used in fair lending and CRA exams and
relied upon by regulators Consequently data must be accurate or heavy penalties ensue and cast a negative tone on exams
The public uses the data Errors can cause the public to draw incorrect conclusions about lending performance and regulators to question controls and can derail expansion plans
Institutions need to analyze data routinely for trends patterns gaps In order to make good business decisions data has to be accurate reliable and complete
Boards of Directors need reports on lending performance to stay abreast of trends monitor performance and ask for improvements

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

2018 Expanded Data Field ChangesBy now you likely have systems policies procedures and training in place to collect the potential 110 data fields required for applications closing in 2018 relating to Unique identifiers
Universal loan identifier property address loan originator identifier and legal entity identifier for the institution
Information about the features of the loanLoan term interest rate introductory rate period non-amortizing features and type of loan
Information about the property securing the loanConstruction method property value lien priority of individual dwelling units and manufactured and multifamily housing data

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 57
HMDA Amendments ndash Voluntary Reporting
Voluntary Reporting12 CFR 10033ldquo(c) Excluded transactions The requirements of this part do not apply to (11) A closed-end mortgage loan if the financial institution originated fewer than 25 closed-end mortgage loans in either of the two preceding calendar years a financial institution may collect record report and disclose information as described in sectsect 10034 and 10035 for such an excluded closed-end mortgage loan as though it were a covered loan provided that the financial institution complies with such requirements for all applications for closed-end mortgage loans that it receives closed-end mortgage loans that it originates and closed-end mortgage loans that it purchases that otherwise would have been covered loans during the calendar year during which final action is taken on the excluded closed-end mortgage loanrdquo

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018
For loans subject to Regulation Z lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originatorrsquos NMLSR ID for purchased loans originated before January 1 2014
For loans not subject to Regulation Z commercial loans for example originated prior to January 1 2018 lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originator ID
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 63

Amendments to Reg B (ECOA) Impacting HMDA (Contrsquod)
Post Amendments to Both Regulations Lenders may use HMDA demographic questions (disaggregated
questions) for Regulations B and C lenders may opt to use the aggregated questions instead of disaggregated questions for Regulation B
Lenders must collect and report demographic information using disaggregated questions from applicant and first co-applicant lenders may collect demographic information using disaggregated questions from the third fourth etc applicants without violating Regulation B for commercial loans lenders may collect demographic information when a lender is uncertain that the loan will pass the purpose test without violating Regulation B

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Institutional Coverage - Who Must ReportThere are several requirements for determining which ldquoFinancial Institutionsrdquo (FI) must report The Bureau has a HMDA Institutional Coverage flowchart (updated 92817) available on its website to help you resolve any uncertainties For depository institutions (such as banks savings associations or credit
unions) requirements include Location Test Asset-Size Threshold Federally Related Test and Loan Activity Test
For non-depository institutions (such as a for-profit mortgage lending institution) as of 2018 there will be alignment on the Loan Volume Test and Location Test
Loan Volume Test As of 2018 did the institution originate at leastbull 25 Closed-End mortgage loans in each of two preceding calendar
years or bull 500 Open-End lines of credit in each of two preceding calendar
yearsbull Increased to 500 for 2018 and 2019 only
Location Test Institutions must have had a home or branch office in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) on the preceding December 31

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics
Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

What will be collectedreported ldquoExpanded RaceEthSexrdquo
Race 5 values per Applicant Ethnicity 5 values per Applicant Sex 3 values are Male Female or Male amp Female per Applicant
Key revision from August FIG 2017 for RaceEthnicity ldquoOthersrdquo
For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash GMI Permutations How to use all of that collected data ldquoSignificance of 121000 GMI combinations represents 13
of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities
VS
A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Polling Question 1
Will your institution be subject to the HMDA data collection and reporting requirements in 2018
Yes No Not applicable
HMDA-Reportable ldquoCovered Loansrdquo
Identify which LOB will have HMDA-reportable ldquocovered loansrdquo Generally for consumer purpose loans both closed-end and open-end lines of
credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo are now reportable Business-purpose loans are generally reportable if they are closed-end or
open-end lines of credit that are ldquodwelling-securedrdquo and have a home purchase home improvement or refinancing purpose A Financial Institution (FI) may rely on the oral or written statement of an
applicant regarding the proposed use of covered loan proceeds
The CFPBrsquos 2018 HMDA Transactional Coverage Chart (updated 92817) is a handy guide if you still need help to determine whether a transaction is reportable and will help you navigate through the common buzz words that relate to this area including ldquodwellingrdquo ldquocovered loansrdquo ldquoHELOCrdquo ldquocash-out refinancerdquo ldquopreapproval requestsrdquo ldquoconstruction loansrdquo ldquoagricultural loansrdquo ldquotemporary financingrdquo ldquofiduciary capacityrdquo and ldquounimproved landrdquo

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Awaiting More HMDA Changes We will cover a lot of the changes that we know of today many made within the past few weeks however the HMDA rule continues to evolve There also remains some degree of uncertainty relating to the new administration and potential for change at the highest level of the CFPB As an industry we must be prepared for what we know today and check daily for any changes
As of the date of this webinar we are currently awaiting
Launch of the new CFPB HMDA Platform Launch of the new CFPB Geocoding tool Final Rules on the CFPBrsquos recent proposal on which fields are made
available to the public and data that is redacted to protect the privacyof applicants and borrowers

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Recent Updates
Here are some recent updates since our last webinar in August 2017
Resolution of the CFPBrsquos amendments to HMDA Regulation C and ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) Regulation B which clarifies some of the complicated issues around collecting and reporting demographic data
The CFPBrsquos recent amendment raised the loan volume threshold for HELOC from 100 to 500 for 2018 and 2019
CFPB has provided a proposal on how it will redact data to protect the privacy of applicants and borrowers and still may give additional access to certain stakeholders
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 16
Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 21
Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62

CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Proposal Disclosure of Loan-Level HMDA Data
The CFPB issued proposed guidance to limit the HMDA data it shares publicly (Issued 92017) Excluded Fields - Proposed non-disclosure of more than a dozen data and
text fields from the HMDA data it publicly discloses Modified Fields - Proposed compromise on other data fields by making
them less precise ndash here are some examples Instead of publishing a borrowerrsquos loan amount and property value it
would disclose the midpoint for the $10000 interval into which the reported value falls
Instead of disclosing the borrowerrsquos age it would publish a range (under 25 25 to 34 35 to 44 etc)
DTI would be disclosed in Ranges (except DTI between 40 - 50 is reported as is)

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

New Posted Notice Notice Requirements
The new rule modifies the content of the required HMDA notices and refers consumers to the CFPB website to obtain your HMDA data as of ldquoJanuary 1 2018rdquo NOTE This information may be confusing since that data will not be
available on the Bureaursquos website on January 1 Informally the CFPB indicates that they will post a notice on their
website explaining that the data will not be available until ldquoa later daterdquo
That may not be an acceptable response to a disgruntled consumer or consumer advocacy group If you havenrsquot looked into this yet consider how your institution will handle these inquiries and be sure to update your staff training so they are prepared to answer questions from the public

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Unique Loan Identifier (ULI)
CFPB plans to release a check digit tool for use in verifying the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI) a number that an FI assigns to a Covered Loan or Application The ULI is the Financial Institutionrsquos Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) plus a
loanapplication number plus two-character check digit The LEI is a unique 20-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the LEI
Regulatory Oversight Committee governed by the Global LEI Foundation Branches cannot use the same ULI to refer to multiple Covered Loans or
Applications A new ULI is assigned to a Refinancing or Application for Refinancing (ie do
not use the ULI from the loan that is being refinanced) For a purchased Covered Loan use the ULI that was assigned to the Covered
Loan by the Financial Institution that previously reported the Covered LoanObtain an LEI at the Global LEI Foundation website httpswwwgleiforgenlei-datalouservicesissue-new-lei

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Preparation for 2018 Data CollectionHere are some additional tips for preparation
Coordinate with the Lines of Business (LOBs) second and third lines of defense to test this data frequently throughout 2018 and timely address any findings
Be alert for any nuances in collection including any updates for TRID tolerance cures occurring after loan closure and loans started in 2017 that will close and be reportable in 2018 (Consult the Summary of Reportable Data and Reporting ldquoNot Applicablerdquo guides on the Bureaursquos website)
The most complicated area to prepare for is the collection and reporting of information for ethnicity race and gender In general report ethnicity race and gender as provided at the time
provided (there are nuances for 2017 applications) Report demographic data from the applicant and the listed first co-
applicant only who are individuals (eg not corporations)

The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics

(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

Fair Lending Data Analytics - Expanded GMI

now aligning with how US census has been collecting data

What will be collectedreported ldquoExpanded RaceEthSexrdquo
Race 5 values per Applicant Ethnicity 5 values per Applicant Sex 3 values are Male Female or Male amp Female per Applicant
Key revision from August FIG 2017 for RaceEthnicity ldquoOthersrdquo
For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash GMI Permutations How to use all of that collected data ldquoSignificance of 121000 GMI combinations represents 13
of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities
VS
A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments ndash Loan Purpose Originator ID
Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018
For loans subject to Regulation Z lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originatorrsquos NMLSR ID for purchased loans originated before January 1 2014

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments ndash Voluntary Reporting
Voluntary Reporting12 CFR 10033ldquo(c) Excluded transactions The requirements of this part do not apply to (11) A closed-end mortgage loan if the financial institution originated fewer than 25 closed-end mortgage loans in either of the two preceding calendar years a financial institution may collect record report and disclose information as described in sectsect 10034 and 10035 for such an excluded closed-end mortgage loan as though it were a covered loan provided that the financial institution complies with such requirements for all applications for closed-end mortgage loans that it receives closed-end mortgage loans that it originates and closed-end mortgage loans that it purchases that otherwise would have been covered loans during the calendar year during which final action is taken on the excluded closed-end mortgage loanrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Submission Requirements Whats Changing
Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities

The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Whatrsquos Changing New geocoder tool
The HMDA and CRA regulations require institutions to record and report the geographic location of a property such as the census tract that the property is located in For many institutions geocoding can be a very time consuming task that can take hours sometimes days to complete
CFPB Geocoder CFPB is expected to roll out new online geocoder tool and methodology
Institutions will need to decide between the FFIECrsquos legacy or new CFPB geocoder
CRA Wiz users will not be able to maintain geocoding results from both geocoders in the same file

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash Impact of Expanded HMDA Data
Whatrsquos Changing And Why ldquoA whole lot and ask googlerdquo
Primary fair lending data was not subject to reporting - but it is NOW
2017 and Prior Fair Lending Data or HMDA Plus data has been part of data collection by an
institution
2018 and Forward Primary fair lending data will be part of collection and reporting
One of the primary purpose for CFPB to collect this data is to expand Fair Lending analysis For example

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities
VS
A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities
VS
A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis

The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Amendments to Reg C (HMDA)
HMDA Amendments ndash Reporting Threshold
The April 2017 proposed amendments to Reg C (HMDA) were finalized on 82417 Importantly there was a change to the threshold for Open-End Lines of Credit 12 CFR 10032 Definitions
(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 57

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018
For loans subject to Regulation Z lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for the originatorrsquos NMLSR ID for purchased loans originated before January 1 2014

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Race 5 values per Applicant Ethnicity 5 values per Applicant Sex 3 values are Male Female or Male amp Female per Applicant
Key revision from August FIG 2017 for RaceEthnicity ldquoOthersrdquo
For example the Free Form Text for race values 1 27 44 the lender can either select ldquoOtherrdquo and report the value provided in Free Form Text
OR Just report value provided in Free Form Text without selecting ldquoOtherrdquo
For Fair Lending it will be up to the institution how they want to view this data for Fair Lending Analysis
Do they review them separately as ldquoOthersrdquoOR Do they place them in the aggregate category

Fair Lending Data Analytics ndash GMI Permutations How to use all of that collected data ldquoSignificance of 121000 GMI combinations represents 13
of that countrdquo
121000 (110110) is the of combinations one can use reported data to perform a variety of Fair Lending analytics
Until now aggregated view was collected and used for Fair Lending analysis
Starting 2018 disaggregated will be collected and used as well for Fair Lending analysis
Every institution is unique in terms of their lending footprint Especially
NationalRegional lenders most likely will serve multiple raceethnicity communities
VS
A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population
Whereas another community bank might be serving predominantly White and African American population due to the nature of population residing in that communities

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

A small community bank might be serving in a predominantly Black or African American neighborhood and very small portion of Asian population

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

(g) Financial Institution means Meets at least one of the following criteria
(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)
Effective January 1 2020 the threshold will return to 100 open-end lines of credit without further action by the Bureau

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

(B) [Effective until January 1 2020] In each of the two preceding calendar years originated at least 500 open-end lines of credit that are not excluded from this part pursuant to sect 10033(c)(1) through (10) or (13)

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 60
HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transitional RulesmdashLoan Purpose and Originator ID The rules for determining the Loan Purpose are new for 2018 and
different from previous yearsTo reduce the burden of determining the Loan Purpose lenders may report ldquonot applicablerdquo for purchased loans originated prior to January 1 2018

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 61
HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan
See the staff commentary a discussion of the miscellaneous amendments

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 62
HMDA Amendments ndash MiscMiscellaneous Amendments ndash More Clarifications
CFPB states that the amendments to the HMDA lsquofinalrsquo rule are ldquoto make technical corrections to and to clarify certain requirementsrdquo of the HMDA final rule
In addition to the matters on the slides above there are numerous other miscellaneous amendments
For example ndash regarding the loan to value (LTV) ratio relied upon in making the credit decision for clarity the staff commentary now states that the loan to value ratio is not limited by the value of the dwelling but includes (when relied upon in making the credit decision) other real and personal property securing the loan

HMDA Amendments Dwelling for Sale
Another Amendment to Reg C relates to loans exclusively for construction of a dwelling for sale
Recall that there is a purpose test for commercial loans to be a covered loan a commercial loan must be for the purpose of home purchase home improvement or refinancing (See 12 CFR 10033(c)(10))
Staff Commentary now provides ldquoA home purchase loan does not include a construction-only loan or line of credit that is designed to be replaced by separate permanent financing extended by any financial institution to the same borrower at later time or that is extended to a person exclusively to construct a dwelling for sale rdquo

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

HMDA Amendments CFPB Geocoding Tool Safe Harbor
The CFPB is still in the process of developing a geocoding tool Another amendment to Reg C relates to the Safe Harbor when Lenders use the CFPBrsquos Geocoding Tool
CFPB is developing a geocoding tool Effective January 1 2019 12 CFR 10036(b)(2) states that ldquoAn incorrect
entry for a census tract number is deemed a bona fide error and is not a violation of the Act or this part provided that the financial institution maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid such an errorrdquo
Staff Commentary now provides that when a lender enters the correct address in the CFPBrsquos geocoding tool (yet to be released) and the geocoding tool returns a census tract it is an example of a procedure reasonably adapted to avoid errors under the above regulation section

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Inc copy 2017 All rights reserved 89
Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo

For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018
For an origination that is started in 2017 and closed in 2018 the new HMDA fields need to be reported However the collection and reporting of GMI will depend on which questions are asked and is nuanced
A lender is not required to ask the 2018 disaggregated GMI questions for an application begun prior to 2018 However a lender may ask the disaggregated questions before 2018 Here is the transition rule from Staff Commentary
ldquo2 Transition rule for applicant data collected prior to January 1 2018 If a financial institution receives an application prior to January 1 2018 but final action is taken on or after January 1 2018 the financial institution complies with sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) if it collects the information in accordance with the requirements in effect at the time the information was collected For example if a financial institution receives an application on November 15 2017 collects the applicants ethnicity race and sex in accordance with the instructions in effect on that date and takes final action on the application on January 5 2018 the financial institution has complied with the requirements of sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) even though those instructions changed after the information was collected but before the date of final action However if in this example the financial institution collected the applicants ethnicity race and sex on or after January 1 2018 sect 10034(a)(10)(i) and (b) requires the financial institution to collect the information in accordance with the amended instructionsrdquo

Transition Rule GMI for 2017 applications closed in 2018 (contrsquod)
Layer onto that a rule from Appendix B that will require the lender to re-ask the questions in 2018 when
(1) the application is begun via mail internet or telephone in 2017 (2) the applicant does nothing with the demographic section of the application and (3) the lender meets in person with the applicant on or after 1118 and prior to closing
Here is that ruleldquo12 If the applicant begins an application by mail internet or telephone and does not provide the requested information on the application but does not check or select the I do not wish to provide this information box on the application and the applicant meets in person with you to complete the application you must request the applicants ethnicity race and sex If the applicant does not provide the requested information during the in-person meeting you must collect the information on the basis of visual observation or surname If the meeting occurs after the application process is complete for example at closing or account opening you are not required to obtain the applicants ethnicity race and sexrdquo
