ICBA issues custom op-ed opposing public banking

ICBA released a customizable op-ed that community bankers can use to spread the word about the risks posed by proposals to establish taxpayer-funded public banks.

The Problem: As ICBA’s Aaron Stetter writes in a new Main Street Matters post, public banking would displace community banks and shift risks to states and taxpayers.

Taking Action: ICBA’s custom op-ed encourages policymakers to instead support the 5,000 community banks already meeting the needs of consumers, small businesses, and agriculture borrowers.
