Abbreviated CDFI Transaction Level Report Form for CDFI Certification Applicants and Certified CDFIs that are not current Financial Assistance (FA) Recipients & Data Point Guidance1
December 2022
In May 2020, the Certification Transaction Level Report (CTLR) was a proposed requirement for CDFI Certification Applicants, and for those Certified CDFIs that are not current Financial Assistance (FA) recipients and therefore do not submit a full Transaction Level Report (TLR) (OMB control number 1559-0027) to the CDFI Fund. As an administrative efficiency, the CTLR data collection was submitted for public comment under the Annual Certification and Data Collection Report (ACR) OMB control number 1559-0046. The CTLR was intended to support both the revised Certification Application (see related OMB 1559-0028) and the ACR. The CTLR would be submitted using the CDFI Fund’s Awards Management and Information System (AMIS).
As of October 2022, in response to public comments, the CDFI Fund has eliminated the separate CTLR. CDFI Certification Applicants and those Certified CDFIs that are non-recipients will submit a subset of the full TLR to the CDFI Fund, the abbreviated TLR. The subset of data fields is modeled on the 11 data fields proposed in the CTLR, with the addition of other TLR data fields necessary to conform to existing TLR validations and allow for Target Market (TM) activity assessment. The abbreviated TLR provides a method to evaluate the extent to which Certified CDFIs serve qualified Investment Areas and Targeted Populations.
For Certified CDFIs that are current active FA recipients, the Fund is making a few non-substantive changes to the TLR in order to better measure TM activity, as well as align new tables originally proposed as part of the CTLR. First, the TLR’s Consumer Loan Report (CLR) will now require entities to report counts and dollar amounts for individual Other Targeted Population (OTP) categories instead of the current overall OTP category. Credit Unions and Banks will continue to report consumer loans aggregated to the census tract level. Second, the TLR will now include the Financial Services Table and Loan Purchases Table originally proposed for the CTLR. The same eligibility requirements for their use applies. Third, several existing data fields will include additional answer choices in their pull-down menus. For example, the “Purpose” data field will now include “Climate-Centered Finance” as an answer choice to align with answer choices in the ACR. The full-length CDFI TLR has its PRA approval set to expire at the end of July 2023; so it will go out for renewal in the first half of calendar year 2023.
Section II provides a synopsis of the abbreviated TLR, including the designated TLR data fields and the data entry and submission process. Section III discusses the new Financial Services table and Section IV discusses the new Loan Purchases table. Both of these tables were originally proposed as part of the CTLR and are now incorporated into the TLR for every organization to complete if applicable. Section V describes the non-substantive changes being made to the TLR so that it better aligns with the new Certification Application and the ACR. Section VI describes the policies from the Certification Application that are relevant to measuring and reporting Target Market activity and thus impact how the transaction level data should be reported in the abbreviated TLR, as well as how many TLRs will need to be submitted in order to assess whether an entity is meeting the Target Market activity thresholds. The Appendices provide more detail on the abbreviated TLR’s technical requirements, as well as current versions of the instructional guidance for geocoding TLR addresses, certifying TLR records and completing the Consumer Loans/Investments Originated Table. These documents will be updated once the abbreviated TLR and its components are fully built out in AMIS. All capitalized terms used throughout the document are defined in the CDFI statute, regulations and related guidance.
CDFI Certification Applicants and Certified CDFIs that are not current active FA recipients will report on new originations closed during the most recently completed fiscal year in the abbreviated TLR. CDFI Certification Applicants are required to submit their complete abbreviated TLR ahead of their CDFI Certification Application submission, which is considered the pre-certification process. Certified CDFIs that are not current active FA recipients are required to submit their complete abbreviated TLR ahead of their ACR submission. To ensure coordination between TLR TM activity results and ACR TM activity requirements, ACR submissions will be due 180 days after the reporting entity’s most recently completed fiscal year. Certified CDFIs will no longer have a “gap” fiscal year between their date of certification and their first ACR submission.
The existing CDFI TLR Address Report will be used to enter location information for each transaction. Depending on the number of originations to report on, an organization may enter information on each origination directly through the user interface in AMIS or they can submit through a bulk upload using a spreadsheet file. Organizations will use the existing TLR reporting and pre-certification process, which allows reporting organizations to validate and check their TLR and associated reports for errors before submitting their final reports. The precertification process will also allow organizations to stage their data in batches and to avail themselves of the geocoding functionality for determining whether transactions are located in qualified Investment Areas (IAs). When organizations upload their reports into the precertification process, the system will check for errors. Once all of the transactions are correct and validated by the system, an organization can submit the final report. An organization should retain all supporting documentation for a minimum of 10 years after submission of the TLR to the Fund for compliance record keeping, just in case it is subject to a random desk review based on the guidelines stated in the Certification Agreement.
Once an organization has submitted its final report, AMIS will then generate a display for each Applicant or certified CDFI that provides an overall tabulation of the proportion of its new originations that serve qualified Investment Areas and/or Targeted Populations based on the Applicant’s or CDFI’s proposed or approved Target Market(s). This information will automatically be populated into either the CDFI Certification Application or ACR to assess whether the organization meets the minimum Target Market activity thresholds required for obtaining or maintaining its CDFI Certification.
Table 1 below provides the existing CDFI TLR data points collected through AMIS and used in conjunction with the CDFI Information Mapping System (CIMS) for the CDFI TLR that all CDFI Certification Applicants and certified, non-FA award recipient CDFIs must complete.

Depository Institutions seeking to obtain or maintain CDFI Certification are able to document the provision of qualified Financial Services to meet the Target Market test if the dollar volume of their qualified Financial Product transactions falls below the 60 percent threshold, but still represents at least 50% of the total dollar volume of its transactions. In such cases, a Depository Institution may meet the test by demonstrating that at least 60 percent of the total number of its Financial Products are directed to one or more eligible Target Market(s) and at least 60 percent its total unique depository account holders are members of one or more eligible Target Market(s), as of the end of the reporting fiscal year.
To provide for such cases, the TLR has a separate template and/or AMIS user interface, the TLR Financial Services object, where reporting entities will provide information on their unique depository account holders as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year. Depending on the number of unique depository account holders, the reporting entity may be required to enter information directly into AMIS through the user interface or use the template for bulk record uploading. Reporting entities will use the CDFI TLR Address object to geocode the location of each unique depository account holder by the census tract FIPS code. The results from geocoding allow AMIS to determine which unique depository account holders are located in Investment Areas. Using the CDFI Fund’s Target Market Assessment Methodologies, a reporting entity can identify unique depository account holders who are members of an approved Targeted Population. It is important to remember that a unique depository account holder may qualify for an Investment Area as well as a Targeted Population(s), but for purposes of calculating Target Market activity percentages, a unique depository account holder can only be counted once, i.e. it is either IA or LITP or OTP, but not more than one.
Please note that as part of the geocoding process, the CDFI Information Mapping System (CIMS) will NOT save any addresses and will return a file with only valid FIPS codes and identify transactions that serve Investment Areas. This approach protects confidential information.

CDFI Certification applicants or Certified CDFIs can document how their purchase of loans from certified CDFIs or non-Certified CDFIs serve to meet the Financing Entity, and/or the Target Market test. The CDFI Fund counts Loan Purchases from CDFIs and Target Market loans purchased from non-Certified CDFIs as Financial Products. Loan Purchases should be presented for review in connection with the Target Market requirements as follows:
Loan Purchases from Certified CDFIs, whether purchased individually or in bundle, are recognized as Financial Products directed to an OTP – Certified CDFIs Target Market. Each bundled Loan Purchase from a CDFI will count as a single Financial Product transaction.
Target Market loans purchased from non-Certified CDFIs are recognized as Financial Products directed to the Target Market(s) of the original borrowers. Applicants that purchase Target Market loans from non-Certified CDFIs in bundle may count each of the purchased loans as a single Financial Product transaction.
Table 3 below presents the data fields that comprise the TLR’s Loan Purchases object. The TLR will provide a separate template to geocode the location of loans purchased from a CDFI or non-Certified CDFIs only if address information is available for each transaction. All loans purchased from a certified CDFI should be coded as “Other Targeted Population – Certified CDFIs” by the reporting entity. For loans purchased from a non-certified CDFI, the reporting entity can classify them as IA, LITP or OTP depending on their eligibility. Based on the FIPS code assigned to each loan purchased in the TLR, AMIS will assess whether it is located in an IA. Reporting entities should refer to the CDFI Fund’s Target Market Assessment Methodologies document for guidelines on how to classify a loan purchased as LITP or OTP.
To conduct a Loan Purchases analysis, please select the Loan Purchases template. Please note that CIMS will NOT save any addresses and will return a file with only valid FIPS codes for each transaction that is identified as serving either a distressed area or Targeted Population. This approach protects confidential information.
Once both the Loan Purchases and all other TLR coding is completed and validated in the organization’s pre-certification account and submitted, the system will report the percentage of all valid Target Market transactions as a share of all Loan Purchases and other Financial Products. This applies to both the Certification Application and the ACR.

TARGET MARKET ACTIVITY BENCHMARKS
New CDFI Applicants must meet the applicable Target Market percentage benchmarks over its most recently completed fiscal year prior to submission of the Application. To maintain Certification, Certified CDFIs must demonstrate compliance with the Target Market percentage benchmarks based on an annual basis using the number and dollar amount of Financial Product originations during a reporting entity’s most recently completed fiscal year. A Certified CDFI that fails to meet the Target Market benchmark over its most recently completed fiscal year may maintain its Certification by demonstrating that it met the benchmark over a three-year period through the last day of its most recently completed fiscal year.2 To confirm activity to the Target Market, transaction level data will be submitted annually through the TLR.
CDFI CERTIFICATION APPLICATION
All Applicants must complete and submit an abbreviated TLR before beginning an Application for CDFI Certification. Data provided through the TLR will be used to determine the share of an entity’s Financial Products and/or Financial Services that are deployed to the entity’s proposed Target Market(s). Entities will upload transactional data to the TLR that supports the proposed Target Market and Accountability criteria using the eligible American Community Survey (ACS) dataset approved by the CDFI Fund.
Applicant and relevant Affiliate(s) data, presented by Financial Product category, will be collected in the TLR. The data must include all Financial Product transactions, by number and dollar that were closed during the Applicant’s most recently completed fiscal year. Transactions provided to the proposed Target Market components must be identified in the TLR in order to count towards the Target Market requirements. In order to be approved for each Target Market component identified in the TLR, the Applicant will need to demonstrate the appropriate level of accountable board members using appropriate sources of accountability.
Depository Institutions selecting the option to use Financial Services to meet the Target Market test because their Target Market Financial Product dollar volume is between 50% - 59%, must also enter the data for all relevant, unique depository account holders as of the fiscal year end in the TLR.
COMPILING TARGET MARKET DATA
Data on Financial Product activity presented for review in connection with the Target Market requirements must be submitted in the TLR based on the date the Financial Product transactions were closed or, in the case of active, outstanding Loan Purchases, on the date the bundle of loans were purchased.
Even if related funds were not disbursed on that date or were not eventually fully disbursed, the transaction amounts must be the total amount of financing approved.
The CDFI Fund counts credit card products and lines of credit as Financial Products. Credit card and lines of credit product activity should be presented for review in connection with the Target Market requirements as follows:
Each new account opened and issued will count as one Financial Product transaction.
The date an account was opened and issued will be considered the date the Financial Product transaction was closed; not each time the credit is used, nor each year the credit is used.
The credit limit approved when the account was first opened will constitute the transaction amount, not individual charges or draws or the outstanding balance.
The CDFI Fund counts Loan Purchases from CDFIs and Target Market loans purchased from non-Certified CDFIs as Financial Products. Loan Purchases should be presented for review in connection with the Target Market requirements as follows:
Loan Purchases from Certified CDFIs, whether purchased individually or in bundle, are recognized as Financial Products directed to an “OTP – Certified CDFIs” Target Market. Each bundled Loan Purchase from a Certified CDFI will count as a single Financial Product transaction.
Target Market loans purchased from non-Certified CDFIs are recognized as Financial Products directed to the Target Market(s) of the original borrowers. Applicants that purchase Target Market loans from non-Certified CDFIs in bundle may count each of the purchased loans as a single Financial Product transaction.
Target Market Provisions for Different Entity Types
COLLECTIVE REVIEW FOR DEPOSITORY INSTITUION HOLDING COMPANIES (DIHCs), AFFILIATES OF DIHCS, OR SUBSIDIARIES OF IDIs
For a DIHC, an Affiliate of a DIHC, or a Subsidiary of an IDI to be certified as a CDFI, it must meet the Target Market requirements both:
Individually, based on the Applicant’s own Financial Product and, if elected, Financial Services activity; and
Collectively, based on the aggregate Financial Product and, if elected, Financial Services activity of the Applicant and any Affiliate in its family of entities.
ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS BY ENTITY TYPE
Depository Institution Holding Companies (DIHCs)
DIHCs that do not directly provide Financial Products or Financial Services, may rely on the activity of all relevant Affiliates, subject to the statutory CDFI Certification collective review process. If a DIHC Applicant’s Affiliates have also applied for CDFI Certification, the DIHC will present only the aggregate Financial Product and, if elected, Financial Services activity of all relevant Affiliates for review.
Entities participating in the CDFI Fund’s Bond Guarantee Program (BG Program)
Entities applying for Certification solely for participation as Eligible CDFIs in the CDFI Fund’s BG Program may meet CDFI Certification Target Market requirements using Financial Product activity that is not arm’s-length, provided that the activity is by and between such entities and their Controlling Certified CDFIs. Such activity must be pursuant to operating agreements that include management and ownership provisions and that are in a form and substance acceptable to the CDFI Fund (see 12 CFR 1805.201(b)(2)(C)(iii)).
Spinoffs
If an entity is eligible for the CDFI Certification provision for Spinoffs (as described in the Financing Entity section of the Application), it must include the following Financial Product and Financial Services activity data for review in connection with the Target Market requirements:
Any Financial Product transactions it closed during its most recently completed full fiscal year, including any Financial Product transactions received as part of a spun-off Financial Product portfolio that were closed by the original entity during its most recently completed fiscal year and that remain on the Spinoff’s balance sheet as of the end of that fiscal year; and
Any depository accounts held by the Spinoff entity that were still open as of the end of the entity’s most recently completed fiscal year.
An entity spun off from a CDFI is not eligible for this provision.
The TLR captures information on all loans and investments that the organization originated during the reporting period, as determined by its Certification Application or, for Certified CDFIs, by its Fiscal Year End. The abbreviated version of the TLR is only required for new Certification Applicants and currently Certified CDFIs that are not current Financial Assistance (FA) award recipients and therefore do not have to file the full-length TLR completed by award recipients.
For Certified CDFIs without an FA award, such as CDFI/NACA or RRP, your organization’s ACR will enable the abbreviated TLR. For those CDFI Fund award recipients, your Award Assistance Agreement will enable the full-length TLR. Please note, if you have multiple FA awards, you are only required to submit one TLR per fiscal year.
If your organization does not agree with the award and reporting status displayed in the ACR (for example a status of “Submitted,” or a due date of 12/31/2023), please review your Certification Agreement and/or Assistance Agreement with the CDFI Fund to ascertain which reports are designated in the Agreements. If you believe that your organization status is incorrect, please submit a service request in AMIS requesting a review of your award and reporting status.

Manual Entry:
To add a CDFI TLR Address, simply locate the “CDFI TLR Address” related list on the CDFI TLR and click “New CDFI TLR Address.” If another address needs to be recorded in the case of multiple address transactions, repeat the aforementioned step. CDFI TLR Project report and CDFI TLR Address report go together. In other words, if the reporting entity includes a loan in the CDFI TLR Project report, then the reporting entity needs to include its address(es) in the CDFI TLR Address report.
The reporting entity will be directed to the following page to enter information for the CDFI TLR Address:
Note: If Investee Type = IND only provide the FIPS Code. Address and X-Y Coordinate will not be accepted.
The following data points will be collected in the UI, XML, and CSV:

The Consumer Loans/Investments Originated Table (CLR) captures information on all consumer loans and investments the organization originated during the reporting period. This table only applies to Banks and Credit Unions.
Credit Unions and Banks must report consumer loans in the ‘Consumer Loans/Investments Originated’ tab instead of the ‘CDFI TLR’ tab. Only Consumer loans should be provided in this table if Institution Type equals Credit Union and Bank. (Banks and Credit Unions are still required to report loans other than consumer loans in the CDFI TLR tab.) Once the Consumer Loans/Investments Originated table has been certified, the reporting entity is no longer able to make edits.
Explanation of the Data Points for CLR Table
Fiscal Year (Column B) CDFI’s reporting period fiscal year during which loans/investments were originated. This is not the same as “TLR Submission Year” on the TLR. For example, if your organization’s Fiscal Year ends on 12/31, then the reporting entity should select “Fiscal Year=2017” for loans originated between 1/1/2017 and 12/31/2017 and “Fiscal Year=2018” for loans originated between 1/1/2018 and 12/31/2018. |

To certify your CDFI TLRs, navigate to the “TLR Import/Export/Certify” tab and select the name of your organization from the “Select an Organization” drop-down field and click the “Certify CDFI TLR” button. Adjacent to the “Certify CDFI TLR” button will be displayed the earliest Fiscal Year available for certification. Upon clicking the “Certify CDFI TLR” button the reporting entity will be directed to the Certification Statement page and must fill out two fields. Once the reporting entity has filled out the Certification Statement and clicked “Certify,” all CDFI TLRs, addresses, Financial Services, Loan Purchases, and Consumer Loans/Investments Originated needing certification that pass all validations will be certified. Banks and Credit Unions will not be able to certify if they fail to submit all CDFI TLRs, addresses, Financial Services, Loan Purchases, and Consumer Loans/Investments Originated. For instances where only either the CDFI TLR or the consumer loan table is submitted but not both, submit an AMIS Service Request asking the Fund to certify on the reporting entity’s behalf. For Depository Institution Holding Companies (DIHCs), since the data is submitted in the Affiliate’s account, the reporting entity will not be able to certify the data. Please submit an AMIS Service Request asking the CDFI Fund to certify the data in the Affiliate’s account and also update the reporting schedule of the DIHC. The reporting entity can only do bulk certification once.
Note: The “Certify CDFI TLR” button also certifies Consumer Loans/Investments Originated records.
Certification of CDFI TLRs can also be done on each individual record by clicking the “Certify & Submit” button located at the top and bottom of the CDFI TLR Project page.
Note: Once “Certify & Submit” or “Certify CDFI TLR” have been clicked to certify the CDFI TLRs, the reporting entity will be directed to a page to review the Certification Statement. Once the reporting entity has acknowledged they have reviewed the Certification Statement by filling out two fields, the CDFI TLR will be certified. Once certified, the reporting entity no longer can edit the data.
Note: the “ACPR DATA SUBMISSION”, “ASSURANCES” and “REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES” sections will contain information pertaining to certification. They are just minimized for fitting the entire page in the image. CDFIs are only allowed to bulk certify all of their records once per fiscal year. If there is a need to certify the records again, submit an AMIS Service Request asking the CDFI Fund to certify on the reporting entity’s behalf.
To view the status of a reporting entity’s CDFI TLRs, navigate to the “CDFI TLR” tab and from the “View” drop-down field select “All” and click “Go!” The reporting entity will be directed to a page that lists all of the reporting entity’s CDFI TLRs along with the “CDFI TLR Status,” “CDFI TLR Date Time Submitted,” and “User Submitted” fields.
