CRA Essentials

The federal bank regulatory agencies have not overhauled the Community Reinvestment Act regulations since 1995, but they have constantly tinkered with the rules. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Comptroller of the Currency published a proposed rule on May 5, 2022, to revise the CRA regulations and a final rule is expected sometime during 2023. However, programs still need to be maintained and managed. This program is designed to explore the current rules to ensure your Bank is in compliance today!

Achieving an Outstanding CRA involves a lot of work for very little payoff. We suggest banks do the work needed for an Outstanding rating but if the effort comes up a little short then settle for a solid Satisfactory rating.

The failure to achieve a Satisfactory or Outstanding CRA rating can increase the difficulty in getting various applications approved by your federal regulator. Lower rating results in additional work to restore the rating. This program provides the information needed to achieve the top CRA rating.
