Discrimination has no place in our society, in financial services or anywhere else. We also applaud the\u00a0DOJ, OCC, and CFPB for taking another important step to end the legacy of redlining of Black and Hispanic communities by pursuing a strong enforcement action. No person should be denied banking services or other economic opportunities based on their race, national origin, or other factors that impede on their civil rights. Accountability must continue in order to rectify and prevent predatory and discriminatory housing and lending practices.
