Financial institution employees must ensure everyone has equal access to credit.

Now, this does not mean that every application is approved, but applicants must be given opportunities, evaluated fairly, and not discriminated against on prohibited bases. This module will address fair lending hot topics, including redlining and appraisal discrimination, and also share examples of discrimination.
