Business Accounts

How should a business account be reported when a consumer is personally liable?

• Report the consumer’s information with ECOA Code 2 (Joint/Contractual Liability) or 5 (Co-maker or Guarantor), as applicable.

• Report the business name starting in the Surname field (Last Name). The business name may continue into the First and Middle Name fields if needed.

• Report ECOA Code W (Business/Commercial)

• Do not report business accounts when companies are solely responsible for payments. Business accounts should be reported only when there are also consumers who are personally liable for payments.
