Within the past year our bank has established an indirect auto lending program. Our indirect lender, with 20-plus years of experience, informed us that his previous institution used to claim indirect auto loans for CRA credit, apparently if the borrower lived in an LMI tract.
Does anyone know if indirect auto loans are eligible to be claimed for CRA credit, and if so, what are the stipulations?
If relevant to the issue, we are an OCC-regulated bank with over $1 billion in assets.
Thanks!
