They should be commended for what they are doing, treated fairly and equally, encouraged to do more, and not penalized for successfully performing their essential function.

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. An exit fee should be imposed on these acquisitions. This escalation of credit unions abusing of their tax-exemption should prompt Congress to act now. This abuse is an existential threat to community banks and the communities they serve. 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. Federal Reserves Role in Payments System Improvement (FedNow Service) 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 cooperate on a 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 and should be permitted. 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, these firm 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. Community Bank Positions on New and Emerging Issues - Digital Assets - Crypto Currency, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), and Stablecoins (Congress and the Agencies) The risks posed by digital assets are enormous, as well as the consequences for monetary policy, our financial system, and the banking industry (i.e., disintermediation.). They also pose threats to the privacy and security of consumers and small business. Of great concern is that there is no single regulator responsible for this rapidly growing sector which combines elements of currency, payments, and investments, and there is insufficient transparency and lack of accountability in this ecosystem. Policymakers must cooperate and collaborate in the development and implementation of a comprehensive approach to ensure a consistent Federal regulatory framework that does not permit digital assets to threaten the essential and highly successful business model of regulated and responsible community banks. IRS Reporting Plan (Administration, Congress and Treasury) The various proposed IRS reporting requirements are unprecedented, misguided, raises serious concerns about government overreach, and is an invasion of their financial privacy. If implemented, they will damage the trusted and beneficial relationship between community banks and their customers. If the IRS wants to ensure greater compliance with tax laws, it can be accomplished by more appropriately using the existing tools and the wealth of information it currently possesses. SBA Direct Lending (Congress) Community banks and the SBA have a long, beneficial, and cooperative private sector/public sector relationship, where SBA does not compete with banks in lending to small businesses. Direct SBA lending would violate this tradition. Community banks are far superior in establishing and prudently underwriting commercial lending relationships. The SBA originating and disbursing 7(a) loans will put billions of taxpayer dollars at risk of loss. 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 to 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 these collection and reporting requirements fall disproportionately hard on community banks, and community banks should be provided with meaningful exemptions in this rulemaking. 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. Financial Transaction Tax (Congress) Tax laws should encourage and promote robust economic activity and a thriving community banking sector, not impose new bank-specific fees, punitive new levies, transaction taxes, limitations on the deductibility of expenses, revenue offsets or pay-fors that target the banking industry. Rather, there should be parity among all financial service providers; there should be tax incentives for community banks serving low- and moderate-income individuals, small businesses, and small farms; and there should be a tax credit equivalent to the cost of community bank compliance with BSA compliance. Climate Risks (Administration, Congress, and the Agencies) CBAI opposes any climate change regulations that will adversely impact community banks and their ability to support their customers and communities including setting hard lending concentration limits on lending to fossil fuel or other carbon-intensive industries, stress testing or scenario analysis based on adverse climate change assumptions, and capital requirements based on climate risks. Community bankers high-contact and relationship-based lending model together with the soon-to-be-implemented Current Expected Credit Loss model, will incorporating material risk assumptions in estimating loan losses - including climate risks. Additional separate climate risk stress testing, concentration limits, and capital requirements for community banks are duplicative and unnecessary. 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 bail-outs, 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.
