CBA is pleased to introduce a new blog, “Innovation Circuit,” a repository of innovation news, resources, and happenings for Georgia’s community banks.
 
“For quite some time, CBA’s Innovation Committee has partnered with the four major fintech organizations in Georgia,” stated John McNair, President & CEO of Community Bankers Association of Georgia. “The Innovation Circuit includes upcoming events from these organizations, news, podcasts, guest articles and more—all in one place.”
 
The new blog has RSS feeds from ATDC, Fintech Atlanta, Georgia Fintech Academy and TAG. The Innovation Committee, chaired by Chris Stanley, Atlantic Capital Bank, is extremely involved with the four organizations.
 
“CBA is proud to assist Georgia’s community banks in navigating solutions to increase efficiencies and enhance their customers’ experience,” explained Mr. McNair. “From banks who are advanced in their innovation/technology offerings, to those who are exploring where to begin, we are pleased to offer a variety of resources for our members.”
 
The Innovation Circuit and a weekly innovation e-blast are sponsored by Atlas Platform by Streetshares, and space is limited to three sponsors. Contact Lindsay Greene for more information.
