1071 Small Business Data Collection and Submission: Deep Dive and Operational Impacts - June 6, Webinar
We’ve got an upcoming webinar from our partners at OnCourse Learning with all the details of the CFPB’s Final Rule on Small Business Lending Data Collection. The rule will require lenders to collect and submit to the CFPB data around small business loan applications by June 1st of each year. Fortunately, there is a transitioned implementation period, and when lenders must comply is based on how many small business loans they originate. That is but one of several important changes from the proposed rule. This rule will have a dramatic impact on small business lenders’ operations, and not just from an operational standpoint. There are significant cultural issues to address as well, as this will change how small business applications are collected and processed. Nationally recognized compliance expert Carl Pry will present the details and nuances of the new rule. Get details and register here.
