The Federal Reserve Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau established a $73,400 threshold for 2026 to determine whether consumer credit and lease transactions fall under Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) and Regulation M (Consumer Leasing). Calculated using a 2.1 percent annual increase in the CPI-W index, this adjustment mandates that transactions at or below the limit receive these statutory protections. Private education loans and real property-secured mortgages remain subject to Regulation Z regardless of their dollar amount.
