Small business lending database

The CFPB's small business lending database will be the most comprehensive source of publicly available information on U.S. small business lending. Learn about data filing and publication.

About the small business lending rule

The CFPB’s rule on small business lending data requires covered financial institutions and voluntary reporters to maintain, report, and publicly disclose information about small business lending. This data is intended to help show whether lenders are serving the credit needs of small businesses in their communities, by increasing transparency in the lending marketplace.

Test the beta platform

Financial institutions and their technology partners are invited to test the beta for the Small Business Lending Data Filing Platform and share feedback. Do not use actual customer data for beta testing. Test files can be found in our test files repository.

Download the data

After data collection begins, the CFPB will modify the public data as appropriate to protect applicant and borrower privacy. Once that data is published, it will be available to download from this page.
