Bay State CUs Get CRA Credits

State-chartered credit unions and banks may get the Massachusetts Community Reinvestment Act Credit by participating in the FDIC's "Money Smart" financial literacy program, according to the state Commissioner of Banks.

The FDIC program helps individuals learn financial skills and to use financial services properly and effectively. Massachusetts is the only state that applies the CRA to credit unions.
