Fifty-eight percent of registered voters in key battleground states say the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) should be run by a bipartisan commission, according to a Morning Consult poll commissioned by the Consumer Bankers Association (CBA), the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), and the American Land Title Association (ALTA).

ICBA expressed support for the Main Street Regulatory Fairness Act (S. 1139), introduced by Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.).

ICBA president and CEO Camden R. Fine today issued a statement on Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mel Watt’s testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.

Mobile platforms for prepaid cards and omni-channel merchant capture are just a few of the innovative technologies community banks can leverage to establish traditional banking relationships with the unbanked or underbanked. Scalable cloud-based solutions make it affordable for even the smallest banks to compete with large banks and with nonbank financial services competitors, such as check cashers.

In an exclusive meeting between ICBA and President Trump, Vice President Pence, NEC Director Cohn and Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon, ICBA urged common-sense regulatory relief that would unleash the economic power of the nation’s more than 5,800 community banks.
