CFPB Gives Small Lenders Extra Time on Fair Credit Rules
Published Date: 10/2/2025
Rule
Summary
The CFPB is giving small business lenders more time to follow new rules that help make lending fairer under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. These changes mainly affect banks and lenders by pushing back the deadlines to comply, so they have extra time to get everything right. This means smoother lending processes without rushing, helping small businesses get fairer access to loans.

Compliance Deadline Extension for Lenders
If you run a small business or make small business loans, the CFPB finalized on June 18, 2025 an amendment to Regulation B that extends the compliance dates from the 2023 small business lending rule (as amended in 2024). The change gives lenders more time to meet the rule's requirements and delays the deadlines they must follow.
