Comments due on CFPB RFI on inclusive fair lending

The CFPB has issued a request for information to seek public input on how best to create a regulatory environment that expands access to credit and ensures that all consumers and communities are protected from discrimination in all aspects of a credit transaction.

The Bureau is substituting the request for information for a symposium on Equal Credit Opportunity Act issues that had been planned for the fall.

Comments on the request will be accepted for 60 days following publication in the Federal Register.
