Online Course Newsletter – February 2026
February 23, 2026 / By ICBA
What’s New
On Feb. 10, all Regulation CC courses were updated to include June 19 as a federal holiday – we apologize for the delay of this missed information. We also updated select test questions to improve clarity and support smoother learning.
On Feb. 10, the course, Regulation Z: Overview, was updated with the 2026 thresholds for consumer loan disclosure exemptions.
On Feb. 11, all HSA and IRA courses were updated with legislative and regulatory changes, cost-of-living adjustments, and other changes as appropriate.
On Feb. 18, the following Bank Secrecy Act courses were updated to change the language regarding SAR filing investigations from “must” to “may” or “required” to “recommended”, based on the October 2025 FinCEN Alert.
Bank Secrecy Act: BSA and Compliance Officers
Bank Secrecy Act: Lenders and Loan Operations
Bank Secrecy Act: Overview for All Personnel
Bank Secrecy Act: Reporting & Recordkeeping
On Feb. 27, the following two fraud courses are being updated with fresh content:
Consumer Lending Fraud
Mortgage Fraud
No action is required on the LMS Administrators’ part as the updates to the courses are automatic and will appear as a course is enrolled and launched, including courses already enrolled in but not completed.
What’s Coming
FinCEN published changes to the Beneficial Ownership Rules on February 13. We will be reviewing the changes and editing the appropriate Bank Secrecy Act courses in early March.
New courses on the following topics will launch in Q2 2026:
Three new courses on each component of Unfair, Deceptive, and Abusive Acts or Practices
Five new courses on the basics of digital assets
Several new and updated courses on payments related to credit cards and debit cards
Did You Know?
Did you know, you can now generate a report showing course completions within a specific date range? The “Activity Report for Courses (excluding BDOT)” has been enhanced to allow you to run the report based on either the Enrollment Date or the Completion Date. Please note that the date range you select will limit the records returned. To ensure you capture all relevant data, make sure your date range is broad enough to include every record you need.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the Administrator Guide. This new feature is found in the Table of Contents as “Course Completions.”
