Episode 28: Looking Back at 2024 Advocacy Efforts—and Toward 2025 — with Rebeca Romero Rainey

We’ve seen a lot of shifts and change this year—the continued uptick in check fraud, the election, credit union acquisitions, etc.—but we community bankers are as steadfast, scrappy and resilient as ever. In fact, we show no signs of slowing down. According to Rebeca Romero Rainey, ICBA president and CEO, we’ve had a very successful year for ICBA’s advocacy and grassroots efforts. Take the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Section 1033, for example, where ICBA helped secure an exemption for community banks under $850 million. “What this this exemption tells me is that we've been very effective and have been heard that the challenges for some of our smaller institutions when it comes to working, for example, with the corporate service providers and being able to provide these solutions with while not completely increasing the cost to do is an incredible challenge,” says Romero Rainey. “It's an example of what we've been able to achieve over the years.” ICBA’s pushback against Section 1033 is just the tip of the iceberg. In this episode, Romero Rainey and host Charles Potts reflect on 2024 advocacy and look ahead to the wins we are likely to see in 2025, thanks to the past year’s efforts.

Episode 27: Why Fraudsters Love the Holidays — with Kausar Kenning

As the holidays approach, it’s time to stay even more vigilant against fraud. That’s because fraudsters are more likely to seek out vulnerable, lonely or busy people at the end of the year. How can community bankers get ahead of year-end fraud and raise awareness among consumers? “I think that's the responsibility of community banks,” says Kausar Kenning, global head of payment systems intelligence for VISA. “Make sure that you're taking all those safety precautions, make sure that you're being proactive in your effort, and you're helping to prevent it from before it even begins.” As Kenning points out, proactivity is key to fraud prevention. She and host Charles Potts talk about the latest scams, why fraud increases toward the end of the year, and how community banks can fight it.

Episode 26: Get Schooled on Banking — with Alexander Price and Stephanie Gambill

If you’re looking to advance your career, you may be thinking, “Where do I start?” But options abound—you just have to know where to look. Alexander Price, CEO of Citizens State Bank in Ouray, Colo., pursued further education and career development at the Graduate School of Banking, at Colorado which is just one of the options available to bankers. “[School is] one of those things where you just have time, you have space, to think about things and to talk about things. It's worth its weight in gold,” Price says. “I would also say the Graduate School of Banking, its emphasis is in community banking, and that's the thing that I'm really passionate about now.” Price and Stephanie Gambill, VP of Grand Rapids State Bank in Grand Rapids, Minn., chat with host Charles Potts about their insights from banking school and other ways they’ve solidified their footing within the community banking industry.
