About

What We Believe:

Our mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between independent banks to ensure that we are serving our communities in the best way possible. In addition, we also strive to provide education opportunities for our members and facilitate interaction between community banks. We believe that community banks play a vital role in each local community and work to continually communicate that to the banking public.

In addition to the activities listed above we also believe in supporting the following:

- Maintaining the dual banking system

- Advocating for both Federal and State legislation to encourage policies which provide for sound economic development and help to preserve the competitive position of our members

- Advancing and safeguarding the American system of community banking in the belief that it is best suited to provide financial services to the diversified communities in the United States
