Community Reinvestment Act - Turning Your Obstacles Into Assets 2021 | Western Bankers Association | 1 December 2021 | Webinar

The Community Reinvestment Act has considerable strategic and operational implications for financial institutions, and if properly managed these liabilities can be transformed into an asset. Financial institutions often do not have the appropriate infrastructure in place to effectively improve CRA performance. Additionally, retail and commercial product offerings are often not being positioned to fully leverage available CRA credit. With an effective strategy, community banks should be able to exceed CRA requirements in a cost effective and impactful manner.

This webinar will provide the fundamentals of sound and efficient CRA program management, address industry trends and CRA modernization, and provide insights into cost effective strategies to achieve CRA regulatory objectives.

If improperly managed, CRA regulatory requirements pose considerable operational, compliance and strategic liabilities for financial institutions. Conversely, if properly managed CRA can serve as a strong tool to improve brand favorability while generating significant revenue for community banks.
