Statement on use of alternative data in credit underwriting

Five Federal financial regulatory agencies—the Fed, the CFPB, the FDIC, the OCC and the NCUA— have issued an "Interagency Statement on the Use of Alternative Data in Credit Underwriting" by banks, credit unions, and non-bank financial firms.

The statement notes the benefits that using alternative data may provide to consumers, such as expanding access to credit and enabling consumers to obtain additional products and more favorable pricing and terms. The statement explains that a well-designed compliance management program provides for a thorough analysis of relevant consumer protection laws and regulations to ensure firms understand the opportunities, risks, and compliance requirements before using alternative data.

Alternative data includes information not typically found in consumers’ credit reports or customarily provided by consumers when applying for credit. Alternative data include cash flow data derived from consumers’ bank account records.
