The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) will now host a monthly Transaction Level Report (TLR) webinar. The TLR webinars are intended to serve as a forum for Certified and non-Certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to ask questions and discuss the TLR and its submission process. This new series will cover the Full-Length TLR, Abbreviated TLR, Consumer Loan Report, Loan Purchase Report, and Financial Services Report.
About the TLR
The full-length TLR collects compliance and performance data from Financial Assistance (FA) Award Recipients under the Community Development Financial Institutions Program (CDFI Program) and Native American CDFI Assistance Program (NACA Program), as well as CDFI Rapid Response Program (RRP) Award Recipients and, soon, the CDFI Equitable Recovery Program (ERP). The full-length TLR captures transaction level data on all new loans and investments originated during the reporting period including loan rates and terms, underwriting criteria, project costs and characteristics, geography, and borrower characteristics.
The abbreviated TLR is a shorter version of the full-length TLR excluding any data fields related to program outcomes and impact. For Certified CDFIs, the abbreviated TLR is only applicable to those that do not have an active Assistance Agreement related to financial assistance from the following CDFI Fund programs: CDFI Program, NACA Program, CDFI ERP, and CDFI RRP. Any entity who is seeking CDFI Certification and has never been a Certified CDFI must complete the abbreviated TLR in conjunction with a Certification Application. Each entity will only submit one TLR report for a given fiscal year (abbreviated TLR or full-length TLR, but not both).
Besides the full-length TLR or abbreviated TLR, every TLR submission may consist of up to four additional reports in AMIS which include:
- Consumer Loan Report—Submitted only by regulated entities (i.e. banks, credit unions) that originated consumer loans in the given fiscal year.
- TLR Address Report—Submitted by any entity and consists of address data connected to each Financial Product in the given fiscal year excluding those reported on in the Consumer Loan Object.
- TLR Loan Purchase Report—Submitted by an entity that makes any loan purchases in the given fiscal year.
- TLR Financial Services Report—Submitted only by regulated depository institutions who meet the level of financial product activity required to be able to use Financial Services to help meet Target Market threshold levels and consists of unique depository account holders in the given fiscal year.
All organizations seeking CDFI Certification under the revised CDFI Certification policies released by the CDFI Fund in December 2023 are required to submit a TLR as part of their CDFI Certification Application.
