NEFMA 2026 Fall Conference

No bank or credit union wants to be accused of redlining. Beyond the serious compliance implications, redlining can damage your institution’s reputation and weaken community trust. Every member of your community deserves equitable access to credit, and your institution should be part of the solution, not the problem.
In this session, Charles LeFevre, marketing and compliance expert and Kadince’s Director of Compliance, will share how to identify redlining risk and create an action plan to address it quickly. You’ll explore inclusive marketing strategies that reach the whole community, identify outreach opportunities that mitigate risk, and ensure that your institution is aligned with fair lending expectations—before redlining becomes an issue.
Whether your institution has already faced redlining scrutiny, this session will give you the tools you need to protect your institution’s reputation, build trust, and stay ahead of regulatory risk.
