Abstract: The Census of Finance Companies and Other Lenders (FR 3033p) is the first part of a two-stage survey series, which has been conducted at a regular five-year interval since 1955. The second part of this information collection, the Survey of Finance Companies (FR 3033s), collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and major liabilities, along with income and expenses, and is used to gather information on the scope of the company’s operations and loan and lease activities. In addition, questions were added to assess the current geographical penetration and online presence of finance companies. From the universe of finance companies determined by the FR 3033p, a stratified random sample of 3,000 finance companies will be drawn for the FR 3033s. This survey will be sent in September 2026 and will collect information as of December 31, 2025. The data collected from this voluntary survey will be used for two purposes: to benchmark the consumer and business finance series collected on the monthly Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities (FR 2248; OMB No. 7100-0005) and to increase the Federal Reserve’s understanding of an important part of the financial system.
