ICBA issued a customizable op-ed that community bankers can use to raise awareness of credit union acquisitions of community banks.

Details: The op-ed—which is available in Microsoft Word so community bankers can personalize and distribute it to local news media—cites the harmful impact of the acquisition trend on local customers and tax revenues.

More: The custom op-ed is available on ICBA’s Wake Up page. It follows last week’s American Banker op-ed on credit union acquisitions by ICBA Chairman Brad Bolton.
