HMDA data
The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) requires many financial institutions to maintain, report, and publicly disclose information about mortgages. We have made data available in an interactive tool and a public API.

Prepaid account agreements
We provide a searchable database of prepaid account agreements, along with resources to help prepaid account issuers submit agreements in compliance with the Prepaid Rule.
Survey of mortgage originations
We survey consumers who took out a mortgage in the past 18 months or so — including refinancing a mortgage — in order to know about your experience.
Measure financial well-being
We measure the financial well-being of adults in America: their sense of financial security and freedom of choice—both in the present and when considering the future—and other factors that may support financial well-being.
How we handle personally identifiable information
At the CFPB, we have nine privacy principles that guide when and how we collect, use, share, and protect personally identifiable information.
