ECOA is represented by which regulation letter?

• A. Regulation B
• B. Regulation A
• C. Regulation C
• D. Regulation D

Answer: (A)

Regulation B implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. It prohibits lenders from discriminating in any aspect of a credit transaction on protected characteristics and requires fair treatment of applicants, including proper evaluation standards and notices when credit is denied or adverse actions are taken. Because ECOA’s protections and enforcement are codified under Regulation B, that is the regulation associated with ECOA. The other regulation letters correspond to different topics—for example, some govern disclosures or data collection rather than equal credit opportunity—so they do not govern ECOA.
