Call Report Instructions for Q4 2025
Summary
The FDIC issued updated instructions for the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) for the fourth quarter of 2025. The notice highlights the implementation of multifactor authentication for the Central Data Repository and provides submission deadlines for the December 31, 2025, report date.
What changed
This Financial Institution Letter (FIL) from the FDIC, OCC, and Federal Reserve provides updated instructions for the December 31, 2025, Call Report. While there are no new data items, the instructions clarify reporting periods for loan modifications and reference recent accounting standards updates. A key operational change is the mandatory implementation of multifactor authentication (MFA) for the Central Data Repository (CDR) system, which is required for submitting the December 31, 2025, Call Reports.
Financial institutions must ensure their responsible personnel receive and review the Supplemental Instructions. All users must complete MFA registration to submit their Call Reports by the deadline of January 30, 2026 (or February 4, 2026, for certain institutions with foreign offices). Failure to register for MFA will prevent report submission, potentially leading to compliance issues.
What to do next
- Ensure relevant personnel receive and review the Supplemental Instructions for the December 31, 2025, Call Report.
- Complete multifactor authentication (MFA) registration for the CDR system to enable report submission.
- Submit the Call Report by the applicable deadline (January 30, 2026, or February 4, 2026).
