On May 31, 2023, ESSA Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of ESSA Bank & Trust (“ESSA Bank”), issued a press release announcing that ESSA Bank entered into a consent order with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to resolve allegations of violations of the fair lending laws within the Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Under the settlement, ESSA Bank agrees to provide $2.9 million in mortgage loan subsidies over a five-year period for majority Black and Hispanic census tracts, with at least 50% of those subsidies to be invested in specified Philadelphia MSA census tracts in proximity to ESSA Bank’s two Delaware County branch locations. The remainder of the subsidies may be used in other qualifying areas.
ESSA Bank is also committing $250,000 in additional focused marketing and outreach, $125,000 in community development partnerships, and making investments in additional mortgage professionals and a community development officer focused on statistically underserved communities.
The settlement includes no civil penalties levied against ESSA Bank.
