Community Reinvestment Act

In the U.S., legislation called the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) encourages financial institutions to meet the credit needs of all customers, including those who are low and moderate income or who live in low and moderate income neighborhoods. But for us, that’s just one dimension of a broader commitment that extends from community-based financial literacy programs and small business financing to major urban redevelopment projects.

BMO Harris has earned an “Outstanding” CRA rating in our most recent examination. View our CR Perforamance evaluation.
