Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently added information on the Fair Housing Act to its online library and resource center.

New York, NY, February 21, 2011 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently added information on the Fair Housing Act to its online library and resource center for Banks, Credit Unions and Money Services Businesses (MSBs) at www.bankersacademy.com/library.php. The library presents the important information that financial institutions around the world need to know about the Fair Housing Act in an organized and easy-to-use format.

On April 11, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968, commonly known as the Fair Housing Act or CRA '68, to follow-up the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The 1968 Act expanded on previous acts and prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, and as of 1974, gender. As of 1988, the Act protects the disabled in addition to families with children. It also provides protection for civil rights workers.

The Banker's Academy Library contains vital and current industry information such as regulatory references, forms, articles and other important documents. The Library currently includes the full Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Basel II, the FATF’s Forty Recommendations on Money Laundering, the FATF’s Nine Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing, the Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, EU Directives for Anti Money Laundering (AML), the Community Reinvestment Act, the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), the FACT Act or FACTA, the FCRA and the FDCPA.
