Question of the Week
Is the bank required to give an adverse action notice if it takes adverse action against a consumer seeking to open a deposit account solely based on past history with the Bank? The bank did not run the consumer through Chex systems nor did it pull any other type of consumer report.
Answer: No. The ECOA only applies to credit applications. FCRA covers any person who takes adverse action against a consumer, but the decision to take adverse action is based on information contained in a credit report. Since, the bank did not take adverse action against the consumer based on information contained in a credit report, it is not required to send an adverse action notice.

ABA Candidate School Begins Today in Washington
As part of the ABA’s effort to promote a pro-growth policy environment in Washington, the association today launches its first-ever Candidate School to help bankers learn how to run for office. The two-day workshop--held in the nation’s capital--will bring together a group of bankers and bank directors from across the country that have expressed interest in running for positions in state and federal government in the next two election cycles.
Participants will learn the basics of how to run a political campaign, including how to file necessary paperwork, manage paid and earned media, fund raise, conduct research and targeting and get out the vote.
FEMA: Hurricane Harvey Could Cost NFIP $11B
The Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates that the total cost to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) following Hurricane Harvey could total as much as $11 billion, according to reports yesterday, exceeding the program’s current borrowing authority and likely requiring Congress to approve an increase.
FEMA Director Roy Wright noted that the NFIP currently has $5.8 billion remaining under its $30 billion borrowing authority, in addition to about $1.5 billion in on-hand cash that can be used to pay claims. Thus far, FEMA has had 84,000 claims from Harvey damage, totaling $177 million in initial payments, a number that Wright said he expects to “climb very, very rapidly.”
Agencies Propose Minor, Technical Changes to CRA Regulations
The federal regulatory agencies yesterday proposed amendments to their respective Community Reinvestment Act regulations to address recent changes to Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. Specifically, the proposed amendments revise the definition of “home mortgage loan” and “consumer loan,” and update the requirements for CRA public files to reflect changes to Reg C.
In addition, the proposal also eliminates references to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, a crisis-era initiative by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help communities and local governments redevelop foreclosed properties. The NSP ended in 2016. Read the proposal. For more information, contact ABA's Krista Shonk.
