Community bank customers have joined the industry in expressing opposition to the Biden administration’s proposal to require banks to report their customers’ account information to the IRS.

Consumer Alert: Consumers have already sent thousands of messages to their members of Congress opposing the plan via ICBA’s new Consumer Alert webpage.

Consumer Outreach Vital: ICBA is encouraging community bankers to direct their customers to the site to demonstrate public opposition extends beyond banks themselves.

Custom Resources: Meanwhile, community bankers are using ICBA’s customizable email and social media content to raise opposition, with the #KeepMyBankingPrivate hashtag already garnering hundreds of thousands of impressions.
