Mid America Bank to settle discrimination suit in Chicago
The bank agrees to invest over 10 million dollars and open two branches in minority neighborhoods within 20 years. It will fund a five year financing program, pay at least 500 thousand for a homebuyer education program, and still seeks federal court approval of the settlement. The complaint alleges redlining and unequal access to products and services from 1994 to 2001, while the bank cites outdated census data and asserts a fair lending stance.
