Government Relations

The Government Relations function at CBA combines grassroots support with the knowledge and talent of professional lobbyists. CBA's grassroots efforts are consistently increasing in reach. CBA works directly with decision-makers at all levels to ensure that the interests of CBA's members and the banking industry are considered and made part of important policy decisions such as financial privacy, unfair credit union competition, predatory lending and freedom of pricing.
