ICBA’s Independent Banker magazine opened nominations for its 2025 Best Community Banks to Work For awards, sponsored by FIS.

The Treasury Department announced it is seeking public input on its plans to transition federal disbursements to electronic payments.

After community bankers convened in Washington this month for Capital Summit, ICBA noted the inclusion of a modified version of the Access to Credit for our Rural Economy Act (ACRE - S. 838) in the House version of the reconciliation bill (H.R. 1) and urged senators to include ACRE in its version of reconciliation.
