2025 Fair Lending All-Day Live Streaming

Despite news to the contrary, fair lending continues to be a very hot topic in 2025, even with a constant flow of new developments and expectations. Lenders continue to have important legal obligations to fulfill, and litigation is becoming more prevalent. As well, the states have begun acting to “fill in the gaps” in perceived retrenchment of enforcement. Over the past few years, we’ve seen new requirements and enhanced enforcement we must monitor.

Are you keeping up with all these changes that will impact your institution? It is more critical now than ever to ensure your fair lending program covers all the bases. There are new ways of looking at lending patterns, activities, and risks, and new expectations from the agencies.

In this all-day streaming session, we’ll go in-depth with a discussion of fair lending principles, expectations, and techniques. We’ll explore what’s new in the area of fair lending, to new interpretations of protected classes, to future potential legislation and new agency leadership and priorities. We’ll also cover aspects of formulating and maintaining an effective fair lending risk assessment, a critical component of an institution’s fair lending compliance program. We’ll also explore the many risks and hot spots to monitor for fair lending, and discuss how to best comply with the new requirements and expectations. We’ll ensure you’re ready for your next fair lending compliance examination so you can put your best foot forward.
