Fannie Mae soon began to demand that lending institutions they were dealing with portrayed evidence to prove that they were not engaging in the act of redlining. The new requirements enforced by Fannie Mae subsequently lead to lending institutions lowering their standards on granting loans and charging higher interest rates on loans.
