Passing SAFE puts the cannabis industry into the financial system where cash can be tracked, and helps cut down violent cash related crime. Tell your senators to vote YES on SAFE! bankingdive.com/news/senate-ba…

The ABA is a $1.6 million dollar tax-exempt organization and this is our yearly 990 filing to ensure that we are following our mission and don’t have frivolous expenses. Why don’t Credit Unions (also tax exempt and much larger) have to do the same??! @ArkBankers


Great work, Tess. This is what a strong advocacy program looks like. Achieving excellent results is difficult, but the MBA gets it done. @MinnBankers

Brooks Koepka talked about how, during practice rounds, he stands in the middle of a green and looks back at the hole to see how to play it. Many architects will tell you the same, that the best way to study a golf course is to walk it backwards, green-to-tee

The Minnesota Bankers Association is pleased to support this bill on behalf of our state’s rural communities. Thank you for your leadership, @RepFeenstra and @wileynickel.

Rising interest rates & inflation have increased costs for our farmers & prevented families in rural America from securing a mortgage. I’m proud to work w/ @RepWileyNickel to ensure our families & producers have access to the capital they need to thrive. feenstra.house.gov/media/press-re…

Ask Congress to support the resolution of disapproval of the CFPB’s final rule on Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rule could make it more expensive for lenders to make loans to small businesses and compromise small business privacy. Take action: secureamericanopportunity.com/take-action/ne…

This commonsense, bipartisan bill would resolve the ongoing conflict between state and federal law so that banks can serve state-authorized cannabis and cannabis-related businesses, and would also enhance public safety.

Credit unions are not subject to consumer compliance exams by their primary regulator, the NCUA. It’s past time for lawmakers to reexamine this policy. Consumers won’t be fully protected until CUs are properly supervised. reformcu.social/3I5Or6L

If credit unions are financial institutions specifically chartered to serve low-income communities, why don't they have to document their service to those low-income communities? These are the type of questions we are committed to asking. reformcu.social/3HKamPt

MBA Past Chair David Krause and I had a good visit with ⁦@RepFinstad⁩ this week. The Minnesota banks do a great job of serving their customers and communities. We were proud to deliver that important message to our elected officials in Washington, DC.
