About the BEA Program The BEA Program was enacted to provide an incentive to FDIC-insured banks and thrifts to increase either their level of support to certified CDFI or increase their provision of loans, investments, and financial services in distressed communities, such as opening new savings accounts, providing mortgages or investing in local small businesses, or both. CDFI are specialized community-based financial institutions that are able to respond to gaps that exist in their local markets.Select the service that is right for you!
