As a part of @ABABankers' Teach Children to Save initiative, I enjoyed hosting community bankers from around the country for a discussion on financial literacy here at the @USTreasury.

During our talks, I was glad to hear about their financial education initiatives and to gather their feedback on how Treasury can support their efforts.

Community banks are the backbone of Main Street’s small businesses, and these institutions play an outsized role in enabling financial literacy in communities across America.

Today at #GlobalFraudSummit in Vienna, @BankersPrez announced ABA’s widely used Fraud Contact Directory is now open to international banks, marking a significant expansion of one of the banking industry’s key tools for combating fraud.

Just released - ABA and 52 state bankers associations strongly oppose attaching credit card rate caps to the GENIUS Act: https://t.co/knwL0tbr86

[American Bankers Association @ABABankers]

It doesn’t take a genius to see that the fastest way to sink the Senate’s GENIUS Act is to add a misguided credit card routing mandate. The crypto community should join #AmericasBanks in opposing any effort to add the Durbin-Marshall bill to the GENIUS Act.

[American Bankers Association @ABABankers]

Just released - new letter from financial trades expresses strong opposition to misguided Durbin-Marshall credit card mandate being attached to the GENIUS Act.
