Fair Lending Policy: Reverse Redlining Issue
07/07/2003
We have utilized a prefab fair lending policy from a nationally known compliance consultant. In this policy it states that "The bank shall devote special attention to the credit needs of the low and moderateincome neighborhoods within its community (as defined in its CRA policy and CRA statement). To the extent possible consistent with safety and soundness, the bank shall make credit available on more favorable terms than it otherwise would offer to residents and owners of small businesses (and small farms) within such low and moderateincome neighborhoods." This was intended to convey CRA efforts. The examiners are looking at it as a violation of REG Breverse redlining. In speaking with the national vendor that wrote this policy, they see nothing wrong with it and several banks across the country use it and have had no problems. What is your opinion and do you know of any written info to back it up?
