Regulation Z implements which federal lending law?

Regulation Z is specifically designed to implement the Truth-In-Lending Act (TILA), which was established to promote informed consumer decision-making through clear disclosure of the terms and costs associated with credit. TILA mandates that lenders provide borrowers with essential information regarding the terms of a loan, including the annual percentage rate (APR), total finance charges, and the total amount financed. This transparency helps consumers compare various loan offers and understand their financial obligations before proceeding with a loan.

While the other laws mentioned, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, address different aspects of lending and consumer rights, they are not directly implemented through Regulation Z. Dodd-Frank introduced regulations to avoid financial crises, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ensures non-discrimination in lending, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act focuses on disclosure in real estate transactions, but Regulation Z is specifically tied to the disclosures required by the Truth-In-Lending Act.
