If my institution doesn’t have a registered LEI, will our HMDA submission be rejected or fail?

HMDA requires that an institution have an LEI prior to submission of HMDA data. The LEI is required on the transmittal of the data to confirm the entity exists. In addition, the LEI is a component of the Universal Loan Identifier (ULI), which is reported on every application for institutions not subject to the partial exemption.
