The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has fined Bank of America $12 million for allegedly submitting inaccurate mortgage lending information to the federal government.
The agency said Tuesday that the bank’s loan officers failed in some instances to ask mortgage applicants certain federally required demographic questions, including about race, ethnicity and sex, but incorrectly reported that the applicants had opted not to respond to those questions.
