Financing, 9% of the examination

Truth in Lending Act (TILA)

The federal credit-disclosure law requiring standardized disclosure of consumer credit costs and terms.

Also called: Regulation Z

Regulation Z implements TILA. It governs measures such as the annual percentage rate and finance charge, and it includes advertising and mortgage rules. TILA is about credit cost and terms; RESPA is centered on settlement practices, servicing, and prohibited referral payments.
