Regulatory Relief
Regulatory burdens on the banking industry have grown dramatically in recent years, stretching the resources of banks across the country and hindering their ability to help local businesses grow and create jobs.
Central Valley Businesses Give Back
Local members of the California Bankers Association are supporting several philanthropic endeavors in the Central Valley community, via the Central Valley Business Times. For example, in 2016 CBA member banks across California donated nearly $82 million.
Fix Dodd-Frank
Bankers want a surgical fix for Dodd-Frank. Learn more about the customers hurt by its overly burdensome rules.
The CBA is pleased to share with you the following video we have created that highlights the negative impact the qualified mortgage and ability to repay rules contained in the Dodd-Frank Act are having on banks’ lending activities. The video is intended to be a resource for all bankers to use to highlight the need to fix specific elements of Dodd-Frank, particularly QM/ATR, as you meet with local elected officials, community leaders, or in forums with your customers. Please also feel free to share and link to the video on your social media platforms.
