MBA Education Webinar Dec. 14: Ensuring HMDA Data Integrity and Common Reporting Issues
MBA Education holds a Webinar, Ensuring HMDA Data Integrity and Common Reporting Issues, on Wednesday, Dec. 14 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has made it clear its priorities include regulation and enforcement of fair lending and racial equity issues. Since HMDA data is critical to analyzing fair lending, lenders should be prepared for additional scrutiny and emphasis on the accuracy of HMDA data.
Implementing a strong, comprehensive HMDA compliance program will help ensure the accuracy of your HMDA data, and in turn, should ensure the data portrays an accurate picture of your fair lending performance. Building a process that is sustainable and ensures data integrity continuously throughout the year requires a strong foundation.
Join MBA Education and industry experts to discuss strategies for ensuring HMDA data integrity, building a strong foundation, common HMDA errors to avoid, and what the data says about your fair lending performance and fair lending risk.

MBA State Commercial Mortgage Licensing Resources
The Mortgage Bankers Association has updated its state-by-state compilation of commercial/multifamily mortgage licensing requirements.
The updated resource is a no-cost, member-only benefit that is updated annually. It covers state requirements for servicing commercial/multifamily mortgages as well as requirements for making or brokering commercial/multifamily mortgages. For each state, the resource describes relevant state licensing requirements and provides links to applicable statutes and state regulator resources and contacts.
While not legal advice or guidance, this information provides a resource for MBA members who would benefit from a greater understanding of the mortgage licensing law framework for various states. We gratefully acknowledge Haydn Richards, partner at Bradley law firm, for his reviews and help to update the compilation.
This member-only benefit can be accessed here on MBA’s website.
