Welcome to the California Bankers Association. As one of the largest state
banking trade associations and one of the largest state trade associations
in the country, CBA has a long and proud history of providing its member institutions
with the tools and resources to succeed in California’s dynamic banking
marketplace.
Founded in 1891, the California Bankers Association now represents more than
200 members in the state, including commercial banks, industrial loan companies
and savings institutions. California has the eighth largest economy in the
world and is home to millions of people with diverse backgrounds and interests
and is often regarded as an incubator for new business ventures. And at the
center of all this is California’s banking industry, providing jobs to
more than 100,000 Californians and financial security and opportunities to
millions more. CBA member banks hold more than $5.5 trillion in assets and
loans in excess of $3.5 trillion. Their interests range from agri-business
to consumer lending, from small business to international economic development.
CBA’s mission is to provide our members with unparalleled resources to
help them prosper in California’s dynamic marketplace. We help them stay
ahead of new banking trends and on top of critical issues.
If you are not yet a member, I encourage you to contact
us. In addition, CBA successfully leverages the buying power of our membership
and partners with best-in-class organizations to create value-added products
and services which are integral to the success of our membership. Our educational
offerings and events connect our members
with the knowledge and forums necessary to grow their business and to keep
it profitable.
