Community Reinvestment Act Modernization

Reflecting Changes in Technology, Consumer Preferences and the Business of Banking

ABA Position

ABA strongly supports modernizing CRA and has urged regulators to: align CRA resources with actual community needs; reflect changes in technology, consumer preferences and the business of banking; increase certainty and transparency regarding regulatory interpretations and standards; improve the supervisory process; and apply CRA-like requirements to other financial firms, including credit unions.
