COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT INFORMATION SHEET

**NATIONAL AGGREGATES**
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires certain lending institutions to make annual public disclosures of their small business, small farm and community development lending activity.  The CRA Aggregate and Disclosure system provides access to each lending institution's individual Disclosure Statement, Aggregate Tables covering the lending activity of all institutions subject to CRA for each MSA and non-MSA portion of each state as well as National Aggregate Tables covering the lending activity of all institutions for the entire nation.
