Community banks are essential to America’s wellbeing but are under stress today from multiple forces. Challenged to compete with both large banks and fintechs, smaller institutions are well positioned to pioneer focused innovation in financial services, but need access to innovative technology that equips them to meet customers’ rising expectations and to contain operating and compliance costs.
Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, FDIC Chief of Staff Brandon Milhorn, ABA President Rob Nichols, and ICBA President Rebeca Romero Rainey joined with AIR and leading community banks and technology firms in a thoughtful exploration of solutions.
