Background on Local Responsible Banking Ordinances
Local responsible banking ordinances are laws designed to ensure responsible loans, investments, and services for modest-income and minority neighborhoods. The ordinances require an evaluation of financial institution performance in serving modest-income and minority neighborhoods as part of the criteria for deciding which institutions receive municipal deposits and other city business.
The following resources are designed to aid and empower organizers, advocates and officials seeking to get responsible banking ordinances passed in their cities and localities.
