How to Properly Delineate Your CRA Assessment Area(s) Under the Current and Future CRA Regulations
Every CRA professional knows that choosing your Assessment Area(s) is one of the most important decisions you make related to CRA, and can be difficult given the many factors an institution should consider. What are the rules? What options do I have? Did I choose the right areas? Now what data do I need to track? How often should I review my Assessment Area(s) configuration? Throw questions about the upcoming (although paused) CRA rule in there and it becomes even more complicated.
Join us on September 20th at 12 pm CT for an insightful webinar by CRA experts Len and Josh Suzio from GeoDataVision. They’ll cover the rules and best practices for choosing and tracking Assessment Areas under the current CRA rule, as well as how transitioning from the old to the new rule might affect you (specifically in regards to “Facility Based Assessment Areas” and the two new types of CRA Assessment Areas, "Retailing Lending Assessment Areas" and "Outside Retail Lending Assessment Areas").
Whether you're familiar with the current CRA rules or just getting started, this webinar will provide essential insights and practical tips to ensure your institution is well-equipped to choose and track your Assessment Areas. Register now!

Bridging the Gap: How to Help CDFIs Empower Underserved Communities
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) do a lot for their communities. While larger institutions might have a bigger dollar impact, CDFIs specialize in building relationships and working with minority groups to make a difference. That’s why it makes sense to partner with and support the CDFIs in your community. You have the dollars and the team; CDFIs have the relationships and the dream.
There are many ways to partner with CDFIs, including making community development loans or equity equivalent investments. Banks can also purchase microloans from CDFIs, which provides liquidity for lending and helps the bank reach its CRA lending goals. Making a deposit at another financial institution may sound counterintuitive, but there are many benefits, including potential CRA credit.
Watch this webinar to hear from Scale Link panelists on supporting the CDFIs in your community and giving back in ways you may not have considered. You’ll learn why supporting CDFIs is crucial, how to do so through microdeposits (under $50,000), and how these deposits can lead to CRA credit.
If your institution has ever considered partnering with a CDFI, or even if you’ve never thought about it but wonder how it might look, you don’t want to miss this!

What Small Banks Need to Know About the Community Reinvestment Act
This webinar is exclusively for banks with less than $600M in assets and won't discuss concepts applicable to ISBs or large banks.
As a small bank employee, you juggle a lot of responsibilities. Chances are you’re the only CRA/compliance person at the bank, and even if you’re not, you still don’t have the resources you need. Keeping your bank compliant is a big task, but all the training out there seems to be aimed at larger institutions. What works for that $15 billion bank just isn’t going to cut it for your institution.
And when it comes to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), there’s not much training available, especially for small banks. We’d like to fix that.
Watch this free webinar to learn what small banks need to know about the CRA. Whether you’ve been in the game for a while or are just starting out, you’ll learn what it takes to run a small bank’s CRA program, how to approach your CRA exam, what the new CRA rule means for you, and more.

Tips and Tricks for Building A Volunteer Program, Encouraging Employees to Serve, and Reporting Those Hours (Learn From Several Institutions)
Building a volunteer program and encouraging employees to serve can be difficult. Not to mention reporting those hours and coming up with new ideas.
There are so many benefits to employee volunteerism—including community reputation, CRA credit (if applicable), and employee morale—but getting employees to actually serve is way more difficult than it should be. Everyone is busy, and chances are that volunteering isn’t at the top of your coworkers’ priority lists. It’s up to you to change that and get those volunteer hours rolling in. But where do you even start?
Watch this panel webinar featuring several banks and credit unions. Each of these institutions has seen great success when it comes to employee volunteerism, and these panelists are here to share their journeys.
Learn tips and tricks for building your employee volunteer program, encouraging employees to volunteer, and tracking those hours. Whether your institution has an established volunteer program or not, you’re bound to learn something new.

Embracing Uncertainty: Redefining CRA Strategies Post-Injunction
You’ve probably heard that the new CRA rule has been put on pause. A federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary injunction against enforcing new Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rules following a lawsuit by the American Bankers Association and other business groups.
So what happens now? Should you still plan on implementing the new rule come January 1, 2026? How can you ensure CRA compliance in an ever-changing landscape?
Nobody knows for sure what will happen next, but it’s important that you continue to support your current CRA program (and prepare for your next CRA exam) while still addressing possible regulatory change.
Watch this webinar to hear from CRA expert Linda Ezuka. She focuses on managing compliance risks associated with data integrity, engaging business units to support current and future compliance efforts, and how to identify and address lending gaps. This is your chance to gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of CRA and prepare your program for the future.

The New CRA Rule: The Biggest Changes and Challenges You May Face
While there are some welcome changes in the new CRA rule, it will also bring many challenges and growing pains to institutions unprepared for complex changes and more rigorous standards.
Regulators have stated that the new rule will “raise the bar” when it comes to passing your CRA exam. And exam failure rates are estimated to increase by 10 times! This may sound scary, but there are steps you can take now to prepare your program for challenges and give yourself the best chance when the new rule takes effect (hint: some parts of the new rule start sooner than you think).
Watch this webinar to hear from CRA expert Len Suzio, President of GeoDataVision. Len will address the three biggest changes to the CRA Rule, as well as the biggest challenges you may face and how to overcome those challenges. We’ll discuss the types of assessment areas in the new rule, the new Retail Lending Test and how it will be applied, the Community Development Financing Test, and more.

Leveraging the Special Purpose Credit Program (SPCP) Framework to Serve Minority Populations
Have you ever heard of a Special Purpose Credit Program (SPCP)? SPCPs are authorized by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Regulation B to help you meet the credit needs of disadvantaged groups and communities. Any bank or lender can create one, but SPCPs have to be backed up by a written plan, and the need has to be supported by lending data.
The new CRA rule states that SPCPs “can be a type of responsive credit program.” This is great news for CRA professionals, and now is the perfect time to learn about these programs and how to create one.
Join Kadince and FDIC representative Paola Diaz on January 31st at 12 pm CT. You’ll learn what an SPCP program is, how it benefits disadvantaged communities, and how to create one. If your community development efforts need a boost, you don’t want to miss this webinar. Register now.
