Community Bank Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 has focused community bank efforts on helping their individual and small business customers and their communities weather the virus crisis and assist in the recovery effort. This was a commitment above and beyond what was normally expected, but one which community bankers were happy to fulfill. Community banks stepped-up during the crisis despite the many challenges and frustrations they encountered.

CBAI joins the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in supporting a more efficient system of regulation, unbiased laws governing the financial sector, a safer and more secure business environment, and more efficient agricultural policies to support the nations economic growth and development in every corner of the country.

Additional Meaningful Regulatory Relief for Community Banks

Community bankers seek additional regulatory relief including on several fronts (i.e., BSA reform, CTRs, and SARs) to permit them to better serve their customers and communities while proudly fulfilling their reasonable responsibility to identify and report illicit actors. 

The Community Bank Position on Credit Unions and Their Expanded Powers

Credit unions have long-since strayed from their founding purpose of serving individuals of modest means and with a common bond. They blatantly abuse their competitive advantages and are virtually indistinguishable from tax-paying community banks. Credit union acquisitions of community banks is a recent and disturbing trend that negatively impacts all taxpayers. This escalation of credit unions abusing of their tax-exemption should prompt Congress to Wake Up and act - NOW. This abuse is an existential threat to community banks and the communities they serve.

The Community Bank Position on the Farm Credit System and its Expanded Powers

The Farm Credit System (FCS) has long-since strayed from its founding purposes, blatantly abusing its competitive advantages against community banks. The FCS is the only GSE that competes directly with community banks. This blatant and continuing discrimination against community banks must end and FCS competitive advantages must be reined-in, and the playing field leveled for community banks.

The Federal Reserves Role in Payments System Improvement

A fast and secure payments system is the very foundation of financial services and economy and must be modernized. The payments system must not be monopolized by The Clearing House and its 25 large bank owners that endangered our financial system and the entire economy during the financial crisis. Community banks, small businesses and consumers must rely on the Federal Reserve to provide access to a safe and secure payments system. The Federal Reserve must be supported in its development of the FedNow Service to ensure that all participants have access to a real-time system on a fair and impartial basis. 

Modernizing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)

The modernization of the CRA must enhance the ability of community banks to serve their communities and must not impose any additional regulatory burden. All financial service providers must be subject to the CRA to provide a complete picture of every financial institutions performance in serving their communities. A modernization of the CRA that does not encompass credit unions, Farm Credit System lenders and Fintechs (including the OCCs Special Purpose National Banks) will be a sham. All the banking regulators must agree on joint final rule to modernize the CRA.

Safe Harbor for Banking Cannabis-Related Businesses

Without taking a position on the legalization of cannabis, a safe harbor from federal sanctions for financial institutions that choose to serve legally compliant cannabis-related business in states where cannabis is legal is a matter of public safety. CBAI has expressed its support in Congress for the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act which provides this legal safe harbor. 

Agriculture and Rural America

A vibrant rural economy is vital to Americas prosperity. The multi-year Farm Bill provided a strong safety net for farmers and ranchers including adequate price-protection programs and enhanced USDA-guaranteed farm and business loan programs. These programs must be protected from cuts or any adverse changes that would discourage farmer and rancher participation or undermine private-sector delivery. 

Enhanced Data, Cyber and Payment Card Security (Data Security)

Enhanced security standards should be enforced through a tiered system where the more restrictive rules and are imposed on the largest and most critical members of the financial system and economy where their lapses pose the greatest threat to the largest number of consumers. Core data security principals in standards enacted by legislation and regulations must include the complete cost of data breaches being borne by that party that caused the breach; all participants should be subject to verifiable Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act-like data security standards; and any new data security standard proposals should ensure that community banks are not overburdened with redundant standards. 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Reform and Meaningful Exemptions for Community Banks 

Regulations promulgated by the CFPB must provide community banks with the flexibility to meet the needs of its customers and they must not be burdened with additional and unnecessary regulatory requirements that would prevent them from serving their customers and communities.  A one-size-fits-all approach to CFPB regulations harms the successful community bank business model. 

In reforming the CFPB, the single Director governance should be replaced by a five-member board or commission; a broader definition of firms that grant credit should be subject to the CFPB rules, they should be robustly supervised and examined; and the focus of any enhanced regulation of financial products should be on the mega banks and financial firms, the unregulated shadow financial industry and emerging Fintech companies. 

The CFPB has the statutory authority under the Dodd-Frank Act to exempt any class of providers [community banks] or any products or services from the rules it writes, but to-date the Bureau has been far too reticent to do so.  The effective use of this authority will ensure community banks continue to be a healthy alternative to large banks and non-banks for consumers seeking to use responsible financial service providers.

The Community Bank Positions on Emerging Issues

Customer Data Sharing - CFPB

Community banks are financially sound and take great care in protecting consumer privacy. Non-bank entities must be held responsible for ensuring the safety of the customer information they are accessing and be able to satisfy the liability for any financial harm which they cause community banks and their consumers.

Small Business Data Collection - CFPB

Small business lending data clearly suggests fair lending is not a problem at community banks as they treat their customers honestly and fairly. The regulatory burden of the collection and reporting requirements fall disproportionately hard on community banks, and Section 1071 should either be repealed, or community banks should be provided with a meaningful exception.

Reporting Beneficial Ownership Information - FinCEN

Provisions in the NDAA in the 116th Congress shifted the burden of collecting and reporting beneficial ownership to FinCEN. This transfer must be accomplished expeditiously.


Finally Address the Risks of Too-Big-To-Fail Banks and Financial Firms to Protect Our Financial System, the Economy, and American Taxpayers from Future Bailouts

The financial crisis, taxpayer bailouts, and subsequent recession was caused by the misconduct of the nations largest banks and financial firms. These megabanks have proven, at great cost to American taxpayers, that they cannot be effectively managed, supervised or disciplined. They are clearly too-big-to-change, too-big-to-fail and must be downsized.

Take action for PPP loan forgiveness today by letting your representatives in Congress know that you support H.R. 7777 and S. 4117, the Paycheck Protection Program Small Business Forgiveness Act. If enacted, this bipartisan legislation would forgive all PPP loans of less than $150,000 upon the borrowers completion of a simple, one-page forgiveness document.

Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act; H.R. 842
Last month the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, HR 842 was introduced in the House of Representatives. This bill seeks to radically rewrite our nations labor laws in favor of unions and at the expense of workers and employers. There are several troubling provisions in the law, but some of the most concerning include the following:

Gives unions the power to demand employers not do business with other non-union companies
Gives unions the sole determination over the manner elections are conducted-effectively eliminating secret balloting
Eliminates workers rights to remove unions that have failed to adequately represent their interests
Limits the ability of businesses and individuals to utilize independent contractors
Bans all state right-to-work laws
Eliminates the right of employers to withdraw recognition from a union, even upon evidence that all employees want the union out
Mandates civil fines up to $50,000 for any unfair labor practice (double for repeat offenders), and $10,000 daily fines for non-compliance with any National Labor Relations Board order
This legislation will kill jobs, strain supply chains, and significantly reduce opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and harm contractors across the country.","Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ),Energy, Dept of,Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Labor, Dept of (DOL),Natl Labor Relations Board (NLRB),SENATE,Small Business Administration (SBA)",,,0,0,2021-07-16T09:56:07.833000-04:00
