A complaint on file is not a finding that the company did anything wrong.

Where do these figures come from?

From the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database bulk file, counted through 30 Sep 2026, using only the coded fields (company, product, issue, state, dates, company response). Company size comes from FDIC, NCUA or HMDA public files where the company appears in one. Company names are shown as the CFPB publishes them.
