Retention for Processing Credit Card Applications

Answered by:

Question:

We process applications for credit cards issued by a third party, but don't book the accounts in-house. How long do we have to retain records of the denials and approvals and other records pertaining to the credit cards?

Answer:

These would be subject to Reg B's 25 month record retention requirement. Even though you don't book the loans in-house, you are a creditor participating in the credit decision.
