WHAT?
Every bank (small, intermediate small or large) would like to obtain an Outstanding CRA rating, but only a very small percentage of banks actually achieve this distinction. To receive an Outstanding CRA rating a bank must do everything necessary to obtain a Satisfactory rating, plus more. This program focuses on the “plus more.” Our suggestion is to shoot for an Outstanding rating and settle for a solid Satisfactory rating.
This recording reviews:
- Why a bank may want to seek an Outstanding CRA rating;
- The established criteria for an outstanding rating for each category of banks;
- The evolving criteria for obtaining an Outstanding rating under recent final regulations;
- The actual process of obtaining an Outstanding CRA rating; and
- A preview of how the proposed Interagency CRA Rules will impact the rating process.
WHY?
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. A lower rating results in additional work to restore the rating. This recording provides the information needed to achieve the top CRA rating. Also:
- The detailed manual is a great desktop reference; and
- The presenter has decades of experience with this topic.
