The Voice of Minority Banking Since 1927
About us
The voice of minority banking since 1927. The National Bankers Association (NBA) works to support and strengthen America's minority-owned and -operated banks. Our members include Black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, and women-owned and -operated banks across the country, all working to help low- and moderate-income communities who are underserved by traditional banks and financial service providers. Creating change through Policy, Partnerships, Profiles, and Partnerships Recognized as the voice of minority banking in the U.S., the NBA continues its role as chief advocate for these banks in the nation’s capital. Through the decades, NBA has helped to shape public policy at the White House, on capitol hill, within the regulatory community and throughout the federal bureaucracy. The association participated in strategy sessions to address the S&L crisis; lobbied Congress for passage of Section 308 of FIRREA; advocated for the creation of the New Markets Tax Credit Program; and helped Congress to pull the U.S. economy back from the precipice by rallying members of the Congressional Tri-Caucus to support the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 which created the Tarp program. The NBA is an honest broker on capitol hill: Articulating the business concerns of Republican Members of Congress and many of the social issues that are priorities for Democrats. The NBA offers itself as a bridge to the partisan divide by being willing to dialogue with committee chairs and White House staffs representing both major political parties. Finally, through its member banks, the NBA continues to serve low – to – moderate income communities all over America. NBA member banks are deeply committed to providing employment opportunities, entrepreneurial capital and economic revitalization in neighborhoods which often have little or no access to reasonably priced financial services and products.

42% of Americans identify as a minority, and yet only 2.8% of FDIC Banks are Minority Depository Institutions. MDIs need support.💪🏼 As the digital divide and the competitive landscape widen, it puts them at a substantial disadvantage compared to other financial service providers. That's why the National Bankers Association is committed to strengthening them through capital, advocacy, and modernization.
