Our organizational and marketing in­

Norwest Mortgage to become the
mortgage lender of choice among these

“We are proud o f our leadership
position on a national scale, but we
have not yet reached that position in
each o f the markets that we serve.
As our unique approach to serv­

“Outstanding” for
Community
Reinvestment
Forthe fourth consecutive time,
federal banking regulators have
given their highest rating — an
“o u tstan d in g ” — to Bank o f
America NT&SA for its success
in meeting the credit needs o f low-
income communities.
Bank o f America today released
its performance evaluation by the
Office o f the Comptroller o f the
Currency (OCC), one o f several
regulatory agencies that evaluate
bank compliance with the 1977
Com m unity Reinvestm ent Act
(CRA). BofA received its last
evaluation in May, 1995. The
O CC’s current report evaluates the
bank’s performance from January
1996 through June 1997.
Declaring that BofA “contin­
ues to demonstrate its commitment
to lending, investing and servic­
ing all segments o f the states in
which it does business,” the OCC
commended the bank’s record o f
providing “an excellent level o f
all types ofcredit to low-and mod­
erate-income applicants.”
The regulatory agency reports
that BofA made 363,000 loans for
almost $3 billion to low- and mod
erate-income borrowers. It also
credits the bank for making 265
com m unity developm ent loans
worth nearly $462 million.
In addition to its lending perfor­
mance, the bank invested $406.7
million “for the capitalization of
loan pools, community develop­
ment corporations, syndicated
community development partici­
pations, government subsidized
programs, municipal securities fi­
nancing affordable housing, tax
credits and the support o f non­
profit developers, social services,
and support groups.”
Finally, the bank received high
marks for an extensive branch and
ATM network that helps meet the
financial needs o f its entire ser­
vice area, and for its expanding
telephone and personal computer
delivery capabilities.
In 1997, the bank’s parent com ­
pany — BankAmerica Corp —
pledged $140 billion over 10 years
for loans to small business owners
and lo w er-in co m e b o rro w ers
across the United States. It is the
biggest community lending com ­
mitment ever made.
