Promoting financial literacy is one way to comply with the Community Reinvestment Act. So in an effort to help bankers not only comply with CRA but also help educate people in their communities, we have created this financial literacy/CRA page. Included on this page is the latest news concerning CRA and financial literacy, examples of what other banks are doing to promote financial literacy, a link to a section on CRA compliance and a link to a state-by-state list of links to organizations in your area that support financial literacy. We hope this web page will be a useful resource to you in your CRA compliance, as well as inspire you to promote financial literacy throughout the year.
