What this page covers
Every FFIEC-numbered report form on the Federal Reserve Board's Reporting Forms list filtered to "FFIEC" (14 entries, read 2026-11-11), as 16 returns because the paired entries FFIEC 009/009a and FFIEC 030/030S are split. The three Call Report forms (FFIEC 031, 041 and 051) are covered in depth from the CDR XBRL taxonomy for the September 30, 2026 cycle and the FDIC-hosted instructions. Forms the Federal Reserve marks as discontinued (FFIEC 001, 004, 006) are kept as discontinued, and the FFIEC 016 is shown as discontinued because the Board stress test rule it cites now covers only firms with more than $250 billion in assets. The FFIEC's own list of forms on www.ffiec.gov could not be read (403 to automated requests), so any FFIEC form missing from the Federal Reserve list is not covered, and the forms and instructions of the non-Call Report forms are recorded by link only. Federal Reserve FR-series reports and the FFIEC's other data programmes are left out. Source
How firms file
- FFIEC Central Data Repository (CDR)
The FFIEC's Internet-based system for collecting the Call Report. Banks prepare and edit their data with software that meets the CDR technical specifications (or their own, tested with the CDR) and submit it electronically; a bank that completes a paper report must have a third party convert and submit it, because paper filing with the FDIC or a Reserve Bank is not accepted. Reports that cannot be processed or are not adequately validated are rejected. Source
- CDR Public Data Distribution (PDD)
The public side of the CDR: individual Call Reports, bulk data, UBPRs, taxonomies and a web service account for downloading data. Not used for filing. Source
- Federal Reserve Reporting Central
Federal Reserve System application that FFIEC 002, FFIEC 002S and FFIEC 019 filers are "strongly encouraged" to use to submit their reports electronically. Source
The returns (16)

Data the FFIEC publishes from the returns
- CDR Institution Reports: each bank's Call Report
Firm by firm · PDF, SDF, XBRL
The Call Report of any bank for any quarter, searchable by bank, downloadable as PDF, semicolon-delimited (SDF) or XBRL. Data are typically available about 6 hours after the bank submits. The same menu gives each bank's Uniform Bank Performance Report (UBPR). Source
From: FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, FFIEC 051
Reuse: No reuse terms stated on the CDR site; see the licence section. Downloads are produced by the page's form, so there is no direct file link.
- CDR Bulk Data: Call Reports for all banks
Firm by firm · Tab-delimited text, XBRL (zip)
All data items for all banks for one quarter, in tab-delimited or XBRL form, or the balance sheet, income statement and past-due schedules for four quarters (tab-delimited only). Available from 45 calendar days after the report date and regenerated monthly to capture amendments. On 2026-11-11 the page showed "Call Updated: 10/15/2026". Source
From: FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, FFIEC 051
Reuse: No reuse terms stated on the CDR site. Files are produced by the page's form (ASP.NET postback), with no direct file link.
- Uniform Bank Performance Report (UBPR)
Firm by firm · Tab-delimited text, XBRL, PDF
Ratios, peer group averages and percentile ranks computed from each bank's Call Report, per bank and per peer group, on the CDR site and in bulk (delimited or XBRL). For most banks it is ready within 48 hours of a successful Call Report submission; the latest quarter is updated daily. Source
From: FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, FFIEC 051
Reuse: No reuse terms stated on the CDR site.
- CDR Public Web Service (PWS)
Firm by firm · REST API
An API to retrieve public CDR data. A user account is needed; since August 2025 the services are REST with JSON Web Token sign-in, and the old SOAP services were due to end on February 28, 2026. Source
From: FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, FFIEC 051
Reuse: Account required; no reuse terms stated.
- FDIC BankFind Suite financial data API
Firm by firm · JSON, CSV (API)
The FDIC's public API for bank data. Its Financial API gives quarterly financial data bank by bank, in JSON or CSV; the field definitions (risview_properties.yaml) refer to Call Report items and filer types such as "FFIEC Call Report 31 Filer". No key is needed. On 2026-11-11 the latest report date in the financial data was June 30, 2026. Source
From: FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, FFIEC 051
Reuse: No reuse terms for the data found on the FDIC website policies page.
- National Information Center (NIC) public data for the FFIEC 002 and FFIEC 101
Firm by firm · Not checked
The Federal Reserve says public FFIEC 002 microdata and the non-confidential FFIEC 101 items are available through the FFIEC's National Information Center website. Not checked: the site is on www.ffiec.gov, which blocks automated access. Source
Reuse: Not checked.
Reuse terms for the FFIEC's documents
FFIEC CDR Legal Notice (no reuse terms stated); member agency website policies, checked 11 November 2026. In the FFIEC's words:
FFIEC CDR Legal Notice: "Access to or use of this Web site constitutes consent to these terms." It gives no copyright or reuse terms, and the FFIEC disclaimer page on www.ffiec.gov could not be read. Federal Reserve Board website disclaimer (for the Board's own website): "Unless otherwise indicated, information on Board's website is in the public domain and may be copied and distributed without permission. Please cite to the Board as the source of the information." FDIC website policies (which host the Call Report instructions): no public domain statement; "External sites may contain information that is copyrighted with restrictions on reuse. Permission to use copyrighted materials must be obtained from the original source and cannot be obtained from the FDIC."
- Can others share copies?
- Unclear.
- Conditions
- None stated by the FFIEC. The Federal Reserve asks that the Board be cited as the source of information on its website and does not allow use of its seals or logos without written permission. The CDR taxonomy files and the CDR Interchange Specification carry a contractor's copyright notice.
- What the library does
- Keeps only the link, size and SHA-256 fingerprint of each document. The FFIEC's readable legal notice and the FDIC's website policies, which host most of the Call Report documents listed here, do not say the material may be copied and redistributed, and the FFIEC's own disclaimer page could not be read. US Government works have no copyright (17 U.S.C. 105), but the CDR taxonomy and specification files carry a contractor's "All Rights Reserved" or copyright notice, so only links, sizes and hashes are kept and no data sample is saved.
What could not be verified
Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.
- www.ffiec.gov answered 403 to automated requests on 2026-11-11 and was not worked round. Not read: the FFIEC Reporting Forms pages (https://www.ffiec.gov/resources/reporting-forms and the per-form pages), the Call Report form PDFs (for example https://www.ffiec.gov/sites/default/files/data/reporting-forms/FFIEC031_202609_f.pdf), the Guidelines for Resolving Edits, any Call Report edit lists published there, the forms and instructions of the FFIEC 002, 002S, 009, 009a, 019, 030, 030S, 101 and 102, the National Information Center (http://www.ffiec.gov/nicpubweb/nicweb/nichome.aspx) and the FFIEC disclaimer page (http://www.ffiec.gov/disclaimer.htm).
- The FFIEC's own list of report forms could not be read, so the list of returns is anchored on the Federal Reserve Board's Reporting Forms list (type FFIEC).
- The CDR taxonomy, bulk data and individual Call Report downloads are produced by page scripts or form posts, with no direct file links; the taxonomy zip sizes and SHA-256 hashes are in the document notes but cannot be re-checked from a URL.
- federalregister.gov document pages and ecfr.gov reader pages answered with a bot challenge (unblock.federalregister.gov) on 2026-11-11. The Federal Register API was used only to locate notices; the official govinfo PDFs are cited instead, and the eCFR renderer API address is cited for 12 CFR 252.
- Filing deadlines for the FFIEC 009, 009a, 030, 030S, 101 and 102 were not found on any page that could be read. The FFIEC 002, 002S and 019 deadlines are taken from a Federal Reserve Bank of New York letter for one report date (March 31, 2025), the latest listed on its correspondence page.
- Templates (schedule lists) and validation rules for the forms other than the Call Report are not listed, because the forms and instructions are only on www.ffiec.gov.
- Call Report edit counts are counted from the formula linkbase shared by the three forms; the exact number of edits that apply to each form depends on the items a bank reports and was not determined.
- The FDIC current quarter page links the FFIEC 031 form PDF under the FFIEC 041 heading, so no FFIEC 041 form PDF address was found.
- FFIEC 016 status is inferred: the Federal Reserve still lists it, but 12 CFR 252 subpart B now covers only firms over $250 billion. The FFIEC page that would confirm whether the form is discontinued could not be read.
- The Federal Reserve page for the FFIEC 009 points to the E.16 Country Exposure Lending Survey at federalreserve.gov/releases, but that page listed no E.16 release on 2026-11-11; where FFIEC 009 aggregates and FFIEC 009a and 102 public data are now published was not verified.
- No data sample was saved: the reuse terms of the CDR data are not stated, and the CDR offers no direct GET link to a single filing.
