@mobankers @GovMikeKehoe Lots of people to thank for our success. @SandyCrawford2 and Reps. @missouri4philip, Terry Thompson, @billowen14, & Doug Clemens, among others. And a big thank you to all of our Target Bankers who helped educate their state lawmakers on these important provisions. Thank you!

Illegal formation. It was a terrible call. The flag was thrown really late, too.

[Alex T. Eaton @alexteaton]

@JaneDueker Was this called back for illegal touching? I didn’t watch the game but lots of outrage this AM. Also, they are still down 14 after this catch but I won’t get into the weeds

Great group of Missouri bankers working hard on Capitol Hill! Thank you for your tremendous effort! @mobankers

[Missouri Bankers @mobankers]

A great day for the banking community today as @GovParsonMO signed legislation with several MBA-priority provisions. MBA is extremely proud of the legislative success we had this year. Thank you to our members for their engagement with lawmakers. #moleg

Was asked to ascend the Dias for the signing of the MOBUCKS Bill to make it truly agreed and finally passed.

[Missouri Bankers @mobankers]

Thrilled to share that our priority bill to increase the MOBUCK$ cap is headed to @GovParsonMO!! This is a significant win for MO farmers & small business owners! Thanks Rep. Thompson & Sen. @SandyCrawford2 for your leadership in guiding this bill! 👏👏👏 #moleg @MOTreasurer

[Missouri Bankers @mobankers]

UPDATE: Farm Relief Loan Program extended until October 31st.

“Agriculture is the most important industry in Missouri. I’m proud to continue helping farmers deal with drought and crippling inflation with the Farm Relief Loan program.”

[Missouri Bankers @mobankers]

MBA Chairman Adrian Breen said Hawley's "misguided bill" is "bad federal policy that opens Pandora’s box on government intervention while having a devastating impact on the consumers he claims to be interested in helping." https://t.co/VipHQSt1PV @bankofmissouri @ABABankers

[Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek @MOTreasurer]

It's been one thing after another for Missouri’s farmers and ranchers. Flooding in 2019, COVID, and now this drought.

Farm Relief Loan program underscores my commitment to supporting farmers during these challenging times & aiding in rebuilding and preserving their way of life.

MOBUCK$ Farm Relief Loan program will provide reduced-rate loans to drought-affected farmers. $100 million will be allocated for Farm Relief Loans

Application portal will close October 13, 2023 or earlier if demand exhausts funds.

@MichaelOD_MO @mobankers Thank you Mr. Chairman for your support! ATMs play a critical role ensuring people have 24/7 access to financial services. This new law will help protect ATMs from “smash-and-grab” crimes, which have been on the rise in MO. Glad to get this across the finish line this year!

[Missouri Bankers @mobankers]

Some lawmakers in Washington are pushing a credit card proposal that inflicts devastating harm on consumers & Main Street America. MBA, @theMIBA & @CornerstoneCUL urge @HawleyMO & @Eric_Schmitt to oppose this bill. @ABABankers https://t.co/oyZ8rLctQo
