Metro 2® Format

Metro 2® Training


If your company furnishes consumer credit account data on a regular basis to credit reporting agencies, you have duties under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to correct and update that consumer credit history information. To assist data furnishers in this process, the credit reporting industry has adopted a standard electronic data reporting format called the Metro 2® Format.

CDIA’s educational materials are the most authoritative source of information on reporting using the Metro 2® Format. Based on what you learn, you may identify changes or enhancements needed for your existing Metro 2® program.
