Fair lending laws include protection for credit extension, advertising, credit terms, and more. These are in place to protect consumers from discrimination in any aspect of loan transactions.
We Can Write A Policy For Your Firm
Fair lending laws and their implementing regulations are:
- Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and 12 CFR part 202 (regulation B)
- Fair Housing Act (FHA) and CFR part 100
The ECOA expressly prohibits discrimination in any aspect of a loan transaction, and it applies to all extensions of credit.
Financial service providers should make their potential borrowers aware that their firm adheres to fair lending practices. This should be done at application by giving the potential borrower a copy of the firm’s Fair Lending Policy. This should be made part of the firm’s best business practices.
