The Justice Department filed both its complaint against and proposed settlement with Ameris Bank on Thursday morning in federal court in Florida. The complaint alleges that between 2016 and 2021, Ameris Bank avoided serving majority-Black and Hispanic neighborhoods in Jacksonville and dissuaded residents living in those communities from obtaining home loans. The bank has 18 branches in Jacksonville but none in the city’s majority-Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, which account for nearly 20 percent of the bank’s service area.
