Provenance

Source: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Consumer Complaint Database, bulk file downloaded 1 Oct 2026, complaints received through 1 Oct 2026. Only coded fields are used (company, product, sub-product, issue, state, dates, company response, timeliness); complaint narratives are never read, stored or shown. Complaints are published once the company responds or after 15 days, so the most recent two to three weeks are incomplete. The company name is shown as the CFPB publishes it. No size measure: the company could not be matched by name to a single institution in the FDIC, NCUA or HMDA files. Several unrelated institutions in the FDIC file share this name, so no size figure is matched. Companies can respond to the CFPB about any complaint; errors in this site's processing are fixed at the next daily build.
