Follow the steps listed below for instructions on how to find lending institutions.

1) From the main screen, enter your search criteria. You can specify how wide or narrow your search will be by filling in data in the corresponding fields. The more fields you complete, the more selective your search will be. The "Institution Name" field allows for partial entry of information. However, either the "Institution Name" or the "Respondent ID" field must contain some information to perform a search.

Also, you can choose to sort your results in ascending or descending order by Name, Respondent ID, agency, or state.

2) Single click on the "Find Matching Lending Institutions" button.

3) The institutions displayed on the Institutions and Table Listings screen will be filtered based on your previous selections. Therefore, if you selected a specific state on the first screen, you will only see institutions that made at least one loan in that state or defined one or more assessment areas to include a Tract from that state. This first state selection is totally independent of the state that is displayed on the Institutions and Table Listings screen. The state displayed here is where the institution's head office is located. In the case of institutions that do a lot of nationwide lending, these could be different.

4) Select the specific table you would like to view from the Table list. For additional information about each of the Disclosure Statement Tables available, see the Disclosure Statement Information Sheet.

5) To retrieve a Disclosure Statement Table, click the "Respondent ID-Agency" button for the desired institution. If the institution you were trying to find is not listed, click the "Back" button to return to the query screen and try a different form of the bank's name. Some banks are listed by abbreviated names and you may need to try several name variations before you find the one you're looking for. For best results, start your search by entering only the most significant part of the bank's name; for example, search Citizens before Citizens Bank. For names with obvious abbreviations, use the abbreviation; for example, try AMER before AMERICAN and BK before BANK, or the abbreviation B&TC, for Bank and Trust Co. Note: The word STATE is not usually abbreviated.

6) Once you have selected the desired institution, you will usually be taken directly into the Report screen with the selected report displayed. However, if the Disclosure Statement Table for the institution you selected is quite large, you will be asked to narrow your selection down to the state and sometimes the county level. When this occurs, the states and counties listed will only be those in which the institution has made at least one loan.

7) After all necessary selections have been made, you will be taken into the Report screen with the selected report displayed.
