ECOA Code 08 · ECOA-08
"Length of employment"
By Ziya Y. · 23 Years Banking · FRC Denial Code Intelligence
⚠️ This is often a LENDER OVERLAY — meaning another lender may approve you today.
What This Code Means
Less than 2 years at current job. This is typically an overlay — agencies require 2-year employment history overall, not at current employer.
Your Action Plan
If your total employment history (including prior jobs in same field) is 2+ years, this is likely a lender overlay. Document continuous employment in same field.
