Last week, Nebraska bankers and NBA staff were in Washington, D.C., to meet with Nebraska’s congressional delegation and advocate for policies that strengthen our industry and communities. They discussed the role banks play in driving Nebraska’s economy and the challenges that continue to hinder our ability to serve customers effectively.
During the visits, several legislative priorities were discussed, including:
- Fraud - Addressing rising fraud concerns impacting banks and their customers
- Supporting the ACRE Act - The Access to Credit for our Rural Economy (ACRE) Act, which would expand access to credit for farmers and ranchers and in rural communities
- Opposing ESG-Related Mandates - The Fair Access to Banking Act, which could impact how banks manage risk and lending practices
- Credit Unions and Farm Credit - Promoting tax and regulatory fairness to level the playing field and protect consumers
In addition to these meetings, attendees participated in the ABA Washington Summit, where they heard insights from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Acting FDIC Chairman Travis Hill and key members of Congress, including Rep. French Hill and Sen. Tim Scott.
Your Voice Matters
Federal policies directly impact Nebraska banks and the communities they serve. In D.C., Nebraska bankers shared real stories of how these issues impact their banks. Those conversations were an important first step. Engage with the legislative process by staying informed of issues impacting our industry.
