Internal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) The Community Reinvestment Act is intended to encourage Banks to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low to moderate income people and neighborhoods. Low to moderate income is Annual income that is less than 80% of the Area Median Income for each metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) or rural non-metropolitan area (County) as published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CRA requires that each Bank’s record in helping meet the credit needs of its entire community be evaluated periodically by its prudential regulator. That record is taken into account in considering an institution's application for mergers and acquisitions, or the expansion of its branches or proprietary, deposit-taking ATM network. 28 Not for External Distribution
