Clarity and confidence are waiting. Join the CRA Hub now.
Everyone wants to feel like an expert at their job.
We all want to feel in control and confident in our knowledge and abilities. We want to feel like we are performing at our best, adding tremendous value to our organization, and advancing our career.
No one hopes for a situation at work that will make them feel confused, frustrated, and alone.
Professionally, there is nothing worse than being asked to do a job with unclear direction and highly subjective guidelines for what will pass or fail an inspection. Well, there actually is something worse. Imagine also not being formally trained to do the job and left to figure things out on your own.
That’s exactly what happens in the banking industry with Community Reinvestment Act compliance managers.
- CRA regulations are unclear and confusing
- CRA exams are highly subjective
- Government documentation is inadequate
- CRA conferences are infrequent and limited
Don’t let your lack of CRA knowledge or experience make you constantly frustrated. Get the training and support you need to become an expert, stay exam-ready, and reinvest capital for the greater good.

Regulatory Change Preparation Guide
After the Final Rule was released in October of 2023, we all seem to find
ourselves asking this same question, what now?
Compliance and CRA professionals tend to be balancing a lot of items on their plates and may not have the time they’d like to sit and review the final rule.
Navigating the new rule while finishing strong with the current rule can
seem daunting. This guide will help CRA Professionals as well as Chief Risk Officers in formulating a plan for regulatory change and provide the key risks to consider with questions to discuss with your team.
