HMDA (Regulation C): 2026 asset-size exemption threshold raised to $59 million

Loan impactAll programsHMDACompliance

Applies to: Banks, savings associations and credit unions with assets of $59 million or less as of December 31, 2025 are exempt from HMDA data collection in 2026.

What to review: Compliance may review whether the raised threshold, now $59 million for 2026 data collection and up from $58 million, exempts the institution from collecting 2026 data, keeping in mind that data required to be collected in 2025 must still be reported. AWACS interpretation
