Advocacy

CBA’s advocacy team represents our member banks at all levels of government to promote and protect the banking industry. Our advocacy team operates under the guiding principles of: striving to promote a competitive and free market, ensuring a level playing field with our competitors, and opposing state statutes that are overly-burdensome, inconsistent and/or duplicative of federal rules. The banking industry serves diverse communities throughout the entire state and the association plays a critical role in assisting decisionmakers’ understanding of the nuances of the banking industry and how a robust, competitive market benefits California’s economy.
