U.S. banks and credit unions received new credit-risk guidance for lending to borrowers without work authorization, tied to Trump administration directives. While the update is policy-driven rather than tied to any specific lender’s results, it is likely to increase perceived underwriting and compliance risk in this segment and could affect credit availability/pricing modestly.
