Overview
The CFE Fund recently submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Department of Treasury on the proposed revisions to the Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) certification application. The letter is specifically supportive of the inclusion of an expanded question evaluating a financial institution applicant’s checking or share account features and its use of Bank On National Account Standards as a guide. It’s a clear recognition of the impact of the Bank On national movement and the critical importance of safe and affordable banking options to meeting the broader mission of the CDFI program.
