Bringing Opportunities to Challenged Neighborhoods

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) continues to guide Kearny Bank’s efforts to invest in underserved communities across New Jersey. In a recent New Jersey Business Magazine interview, Yvonne Louro, 2nd VP/CRA Officer–Governance & Advisory Manager, explained that CRA plays a vital role in ensuring fair access to credit and supporting low‑ and moderate‑income neighborhoods.

Louro emphasized that Kearny Bank aligns its lending, investments, and community programs with local needs — including financial literacy initiatives for students, seniors, and families. “We’re really committed to empowering individuals across all age groups with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve financial well-being,” she said.
