Fair Lending &
Consumer Protection
Everyone is entitled to just, equitable and responsible financial products and services.  NCRC’s Fair Lending and Consumer Protection team conducts testing and compliance investigations, provides training to lenders and produces analysis to ensure equitable access to credit and financial products.
Our team also works closely with NCRC members and our policy and government relations teams to advance policies that make fair lending and equitable access to financial services a national priority and a local reality.
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits credit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, age, or because you get public assistance.
