On behalf of the FFIEC, the Federal Reserve System designed the HMDA Data Entry Software to assist respondents in automating the filing of their HMDA data. The free software includes editing features to help you verify and analyze the accuracy of the data. The data file created, using this software, can be submitted to your regulatory agency using Submission via Web, encrypted for submission via Internet e-mail or exported onto a diskette/CD-ROM for mailing. The most current version of the software (Version 2009) is only available by DOWNLOAD from the FFIEC HMDA website. Also review the HMDA Data Entry Software FAQ's.
