Small Businesses Brace for Section 1071

[1]The next installment in the Five Star Institute Webinar Series is set for Thursday, June 8 at 1:00 p.m. Central, when the Five Star Institute, in partnership with Treliant [2], present “Section 1071: Small Business Lender Impact & Implications [1].”

The Five Star Institute Webinar Series aims to broaden the horizons of the mortgage industry. It's a top source for complimentary insights and education about critical industry topics led by subject-matter experts and company sponsors.

On March 30, 2023, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released its final rule amending Regulation B to implement changes to ECOA made by Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act [3] requiring financial institutions to collect and report data on small business loans.

During the “Section 1071: Small Business Lender Impact & Implications [1]” Webinar, a team of industry professionals will discuss the requirements of the rule, and the impact on small business lenders. Some of the topics the panel will cover include who must report, what must be reported, when lenders must begin collecting and reporting data, fair lending implications, decisions that must be made, and the work that should start now to prepare for implementation of the rule.
