WASHINGTON–The CFPB said HMDA data that is submitted by March 2 will be considered “timely.”
In a statement to financial institutions and lenders, the Bureau noted that the 2026 filing period for HMDA submissions is officially underway.
It also offered the following advice for filers:
- How to Resubmit Data: The CFPB said filers should log in the HMDA platform and follow the same filing process taken with the original file. Only the last file will be counted as the final signed submission, according to the Bureau, which urged filers to maintain a record of all submissions.
- When Late Filers May Submit Data: The HMDA platform will remain open past March 2 for late submissions or resubmission, the CFPB said, adding that filers can submit or resubmit their institution’s data for three years after filing opens.
- How to Update Contract Info Post–Submission: Filers can update the transmittal sheet row in the file and re-upload, according to the CFPB.
- How to Make Name/Email Domain Changes: The CFPB said filers should contact [email protected] for assistance.
The Bureau added that accepted valid values for income and property value: “0” (zero) is an accepted value for income and further clarified that decimal points are acceptable when reporting property value.
