SOUTH BRONX/SDNY, Dec 1 – Associated Banc-Corp, with a track record of disparate lending and consumer complaints, now proposes to expand into Nebraska and Iowa by taking over American National Bank.
Fair Finance Watch, while the Federal Reserve refuses to act to ensure public access to Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data, notes the 2024 HMDA data of Associated National Bank, starting in Wisconsin: it denied more mortgage applications from African Americans, 90, than it made loans to African Americans, 86. Meanwhile it made fully 4243 loans to whites, while denying only 1430 loans. We will have more on these troubling disparities, including under the Community Reinvestment Act. Watch this site.
