Bank Portfolio Lenders
Bank portfolio lending is an important capital source for financing commercial and multifamily properties.

MBA supports policies that enhance banks’ ability to lend in local communities, that promote balanced regulatory and examination regimes and provide flexibility to address all economic conditions. We recommend that banking regulators use a transparent and flexible examination approach that avoids a one-size-fits-all methodology. MBA also advocates for banking laws and regulations, including CRA, to be implemented in ways that do not unduly impair the ability of banks to engage reasonably in commercial real estate finance.
