Fair Access to Banking Act ensures lawful businesses receive fair access to financial services.
The Fair Access to Banking Act aims to ensure fair access to financial services for lawful businesses by prohibiting financial institutions from denying services based on subjective criteria. The Act allows individuals to sue covered banks for violations, with potential for treble damages and attorney's fees. It also mandates that financial institutions base their services on impartial, risk-based standards and prohibits them from using taxpayer-funded discount window lending programs if they deny lawful businesses services.
