Jerod and Diane: Leading the Way on Regulation B’s 1071 Rule
In the intricate world of banking, the only constant is change.1071: A Brief Overview
Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act sought to enhance transparency in small business lending. It mandates that financial institutions collect and report data on credit applications made by small businesses, including whether they are minority-owned and/or women-owned. While the intent of the Final Rule amending Regulation B is clear—to promote fair lending practices—the implementation poses significant challenges for financial institutions.
These Small Business Lending Data Collection Requirements under Section 1071 represent one of the most recent significant regulatory developments, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for financial institutions in an ever-changing regulatory environment. Jerod Moyer and Diane Dean at Banker's Compliance Consulting are at the forefront of guiding banking professionals and helping them navigate these complex changes.
Are You a Covered Financial Institution?
If your institution originated at least 1,000 covered credit transactions for small businesses in each of the two prior calendar years, you may be subject to Regulation B’s 1071 Rule.
To determine if it will be covered, a financial institution must fully understand:
-
What qualifies as a covered credit transaction
-
How a small business is defined
Understanding coverage is the first step to successful implementation. Covered financial institutions will need to comply beginning January 1, 2028.
