Myers los Angeles times a Trade group representing More than 3,000 mortgage lenders signed an agreement with the Federal government wednesday aimed at making More Loans to buyers in poor neighbourhoods and increasing the number of minorities who work in banking.

The agreement does not create any new loan programs for poor or minority borrowers but requires the lenders to do a better Job of telling borrowers about such programs. Although the voluntary agreement does not carry the Force of Law most mortgage Bankers have said they will abide by it a in part because they fear that otherwise the government would impose mandatory guidelines even More strict and cumbersome.
