The Independent Community Bankers of America® (ICBA) today announced the selected companies for its ninth ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator program (AP9).

With the latest interstate acquisition of a tax-paying community bank by tax-exempt credit unions extending into Montana, ICBA said it is time for the increasing criticism of credit union tax and regulatory exemptions to finally result in policymaker action.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau joined other groups in asking a federal court to scrap a regulation barring consumer credit reports from including medical debt.
