Customers in Pennsylvania Escapes Enforcement Action

Customers Bancorp in Wyomissing, Pa., disclosed that regulators may not take action against it for alleged non-compliance with certain laws.

The $5 billion-asset company said in a regulatory filing Monday that the Justice Department had recently completed an investigation, at the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, into potential violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Fair Housing Act in Philadelphia.

The Justice Department notified Customers in an Aug. 22 notice that, at this time, "the circumstances of this matter do not require enforcement action."

Customer said the matter has been referred back to the Federal Reserve, adding that the company is unsure if further action will be taken.
