Diversity and Inclusion Requirements

Certain vendor contracts with FHLBank Indianapolis must contain a clause committing the contractor to practice equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination in all of its business activities. Further, each contractor must include the clause in each subcontract it enters into for services or goods provided to the bank.

This requirement applies to contracts for services in any amount and to contracts for goods that equal or exceed $25,000 in annual value, whether in a single contract, multiple contracts, a series of contracts, or renewals of contracts, with a single vendor.

Our goal is to build relationships with businesses that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve because we know, from experience, this contributes to fostering healthy, dynamic communities.

Reporting of Fraud and Suspicious Activities

FHLBank Indianapolis is committed to protecting its revenue, property, reputation, and other assets. Our Anti-Fraud Policy supports this commitment and strengthens our compliance efforts. This Policy addresses instances of possible fraud, money laundering, suspicious activities, and other illicit activities within the bank, but also includes the same activities if detected in our dealings with our members, Affordable Housing Program partners, and vendors.

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations require FHLBank Indianapolis to report suspected fraud, money laundering, suspicious activities, and other illicit activities when they are detected. In turn, FHLBank Indianapolis expects all of its vendors to report to it any instances of the foregoing involving FHLBank Indianapolis, whether it occurs inside or outside the bank. Such reports should be made by contacting FHLBank Indianapolis’s Bank Secrecy Act & Anti-Money Laundering Officer at 317.465.0419 or AML_Officer@fhlbi.com. Reports can also be made anonymously through EthicsPoint at www.ethicspoint.com or 866.850.1408.

Vendor Grievance Process

The Vendor Grievance Process provides potential vendors with a mechanism to appeal procurement decisions if they believe the award process was not followed in an open, fair, and competitive manner. Such incidents should be reported to the FHLBank Indianapolis Office of Diversity and Inclusion. A written complaint can be sent to OMWI@fhlbi.com. The complaint should be as detailed as possible, including the names of the individuals involved, the names of any witnesses, direct quotations when language is relevant, or any documented evidence.
