The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) is a federal law enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that requires financial institutions to collect and report on their mortgage lending activity in an effort to promote fair lending practices in the mortgage market. This data is then made publicly available, so regulators, researchers, and consumers can analyze lending patterns and identify potential discrimination. 

Similarly, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was enacted to encourage depository institutions to serve the credit needs of all their communities. As part of CRA compliance, banks must submit information regarding small loans originated to businesses and farms. Lenders are evaluated by regulators from the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on their lending record in various community segments which influences their overall rating.
