Question of the Week
Q: Are banks still required to upload their CRA Public File to their website by January 1, 2026, now that the October 2023 CRA rule has been rescinded and the agencies are reverting to the 1995 CRA regulations?
A: Technically, yes…for now, at least! That is to say, the 2023 CRA Final Rule is still on the books, and under that rule, the requirement to post the CRA Public File on the bank’s website has an applicability date of January 1, 2026.
However, the Agencies have proposed rolling back the 2023 rule and reinstating the 1995 CRA regulations, which don’t require the Public File to be posted online. If that rollback is finalized as expected in the coming months, the website posting requirement would disappear along with the rest of the 2023 rule. For further details – and to review the proposed rule itself – please see its entry in the Federal Register: 90 FR 34086. Compliance Hub also recently presented a webinar on these changes which you may be interested in here.
