Let’s Hope We Free Our Community Banks in 2018THE CALENDAR HAS FLIPPED TO 2018—a new year filled with great expectations.I can’t help feeling optimistic as I look to the months ahead. Will this be theyear that comprehensive congressional regulatory relief for community banksfinally happens? Many communities throughout Texas have seen their local banksshutter or be absorbed by larger institutions over the past several years becauselaws and rules, originally intended to curb the abuses of the nation’s largest “toobig-to-fail” banks, have instead trickled down to negatively impact the smallest.“Too small to survive” is a termused to describe this. Urban and ruralcommunities alike have seen a consistent wave of mergers and acquisitionsin community banking. According tofederal data on the nation’s 1,980 ruralcounties, approximately one-third don’thave a local bank and many have no bankat all. Here in Texas, we’ve lost nearlyone-third of our banks since 2009.Without local banks, communitiesare starved of the capital they need forbusiness growth and economic development. Community banks with lessthan 10 billion in assets provide morethan 60 percent of all small-businessloans under 1 million and more than80 percent of all agricultural loans,both of which are extremely importantin the Southwest.Only Congress holds the key to unchain community banks from the burdenpushing them toward consolidation.There is hope that 2018 is the year thatour political leaders will finally get a billacross the finish line. For years now therehas been bipartisan support to make thishappen but, as things often go in D.C., theefforts have repeatedly stalled.Late last year, the Senate BankingCommittee passed the Economic Growth,Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act, legislation that would bringmeaningful community bank regulatoryrelief. It is focused on community banksand the customers they serve. And it wasintroduced with 20 bipartisan cosponsors—a promising sign in today’s divisiveCongress to bring this important bill upfor a vote and ensure its passage. Senateco-sponsors range widely, from MontanaDemocrat Jon Tester to Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton.Banks and consumers nationwidewill be the big winners as the benefitsof this legislation extend to communitybank customers, not just the banksthemselves. Overall, the bill providesrelief from the regulatory burden of reporting and various other requirements,which frees up resources so communityBANKS AND CONSUMERS NATIONWIDE WILL BE THE BIG WINNERS AS THEBENEFITS OF THE ECONOMIC GROWTH, REGULATORY RELIEF AND CONSUMERPROTECTION ACT EXTEND TO COMMUNITY BANK CUSTOMERS, NOT JUSTTHE BANKS THEMSELVES. OVERALL, THE BILL PROVIDES RELIEF FROM THEREGULATORY BURDEN OF REPORTING AND VARIOUS OTHER REQUIREMENTS.political climate. As half of the co-sponsors are Democrats, there should easilybe enough votes in the Republican-ledbanks can lend more and continue tooffer competitive products and services.Continued on page 7By CHRISTOPHER L.

OKLAHOMACommunity Bankers Association of Oklahoma Supports Equifax Class Action SuitE D I T O R ’ S N O T E: Recently, Craig Buford CAE, president and CEO of the CommunityBankers Association of Oklahoma, penned a letter to fellow community bankersregarding last year’s Equifax breach, the effect it has had on community banks andwhat the association is urging in response. Here is his message:Last year, Equifax experiencedthe most significant data breachin American history. Communitybanks were, and remain, on the frontlines in response. Financial institutionswere left to protect their institutionsand customer data. This massive databreach was significantly more impactfulas it changed the manner by which somany community banks authenticatecustomer identities. The theft of suchcritically sensitive information posesthe threat of identity theft for millionsof consumers well into the future. Community banks will remain at risk of fraudresulting from Equifax’s negligence inbasic cyber hygiene.6 Bankers Digest February 26, 2018In response to calls from community banks for action, the CommunityBankers Association of Oklahoma’sstrategic partner in Washington, D.C.,the Independent Community BankersAssociation of America, has filed a lawsuit against Equifax. Since then, severalcommunity banks have also filed suitagainst Equifax. ICBA’s lawsuit asks thatEquifax compensate community banksharmed by the breach. The case citesthe myriad damages it has caused, suchas the costs of customer credit freezes,protective measures to deter and/orprevent fraud and canceling and replacing payment cards. For a longer-termsolution, ICBA also asks that Equifaximprove its security infrastructureto prevent future data breaches. Thecourts have created two tracts for themany lawsuits that have been filed: onespecifically for consumers and anotherfor financial institutions and bankingtrade associations.Currently, we know of no classrepresentatives from Oklahoma in thesuit.

Banking Legislation continued from page 3Most notably, the bill will help thawmortgage availability for community bank customers. Mortgage rulesestablished after the financial crisishave made it difficult for communitybanks to loan to customers who do notqualify for a traditional 15- or 30-yearmortgage. This bill will allow flexibilityin working on terms and covenantsconsistent with the customer’s needsAMONG FAVORABLE CONSUMERPROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE BILLIS A FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORTFREEZE FOR CONSUMERS, ESPECIALLYHELPFUL WITH THE SEEMINGLYENDLESS NEWS OF DATA BREACHES,INCLUDING LAST YEAR’S MASSIVEEQUIFAX BREACH.so long as the bank keeps that loan ontheir books, which is common amongcommunity banks. Larger banks, onthe other hand, generally sell the vastmajority of mortgages they originateinto the secondary market.Among favorable consumer provisions contained in the bill is a free annual credit report freeze for consumers,especially helpful with the seeminglyendless news of data breaches, including last year’s massive Equifax breach.I wish I could say these breaches willstop, but sadly that’s just not true.On behalf of community banks andbranches in the Southwest—and thebankers who are committed to seeingtheir towns prosper and customers’dreams come true—I ask you to takea stand with me. The banking industryneeds all the help it can get and thetime is now for all community bankersto engage in the legislative process.We need your help preserving locally owned and controlled independentcommunity banks to sustain and bolstereconomies across the Southwest.Here’s to a great 2018, the passage ofmuch-needed regulatory relief and thestrength of every community we callhome.
