CBA's John McNair
Community banks make 42 percent of small business loans in the country, according to a recent FDIC survey on small business lending. "Community banks are making almost one out of two small business loans in a community,” says John McNair, President & CEO of CBA. “Small business nationally is your top employer, [so] if you don’t have a vibrant, robust, healthy community banking industry, you don’t have small businesses.”
Boosted by a strong economy, Georgia’s community banks are healthy – and competitive. Banks are also seeing more competition for loans as well. To increase liquidity available to the state’s community banks, CBA helped pass a bill in the state’s last legislative session that will open up loan opportunities to smaller banks. SB 157, which Gov. Brian Kemp signed in May, allows community banks, many of which are located in rural Georgia, to accept local government funds to reinvest and loan back into their communities to help drive economic activity.
Georgia was the last state in the nation to pass legislation like this, says McNair, and the change should help as community banks eye big loan growth. “We’re projecting the increase in loan growth anywhere between $2 billion and $6 billion … over multiple years,” says McNair. Right now, the mission for the state’s banks is clear: compete for, diversify and continue to grow loans. Read the full article from the July issue of Georgia Trend magazine.

SB 157: New Banking Law Helps Communities— Finally!
SB 157 – unanimously passed by the General Assembly during the 2019 session– was signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp in May, yet its purpose and benefits have been widely under-reported. The law allows community banks, many of which are in rural Georgia, to accept local government’s funds and allows these banks in turn to reinvest and loan monies back into their own communities and spur economic activity. Such increased lending, of course, will spur business growth, jobs, and boost statewide economic activity.
Caric Martin, Senior Vice President of the Vinings Bank in Smyrna, shares the view of many community bankers. “My basic thought on government entities being able to use a Deposit Placement Service, authorized for government entities by SB 157, is that it puts deposits on Main Street and not Wall Street. Instead of community banks having to buy government bonds (Wall Street) the money will be lent out on Main Street. Because of rules limiting the size of loans for banks based on their capital levels, by default deposits placed in community banks will go to local small and medium size businesses, local agricultural concerns, local small commercial real estate projects and in many cases to mortgages,” Martin explains.

Georgia Community Bank Profitability "Peachy" in Q1'19
Georgia's community banks and thrifts posted strong profitability in the first quarter, outpacing the Southeast and the nation as a whole.

Meanwhile, the median net interest margin for the state was 4.26%, higher than the Southeast median of 3.92% and the U.S. median of 3.79%.
Georgia's nonperforming assets ratio improved by 15 basis points year over year to 1.03% as of March 31, but that was still higher than the Southeast median of 0.83% and the national median of 0.64%. The state's year-over-year loan and deposit growth also trailed the Southeast and U.S. medians. Read the full article. Guest article from CBA Endorsed Member Company S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Key Senator Opposes Delay in Credit Union Capital Rules
Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said he is disturbed that the National Credit Union Administration proposed another delay in implementing risk-based capital rules for large credit unions. In a statement, Brown commended NCUA board member Todd Harper for voting against the proposal, which was approved last week on a 2-1 vote.
The proposed rule would delay the effective date by more than two years, to January 1, 2022. The vote follows a one-year delay approved in October 2018 that exempted more than 1,000 institutions under $500 million in assets.
In his dissent, Harper noted that risk-based capital rules went into effect for banks years ago. He also cited the recent taxi medallion credit union failures as a warning against lax oversight. "We are forgetting the past repeatedly, just like characters in Groundhog Day," he said. Read Brown's statement

ICBA Continues Pressing Fed on Faster Payments
ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey and ICBA Chairman Preston Kennedy urged the Federal Reserve to operate a Real-Time Gross Settlement service in support of all financial institutions and their customers. In a letter to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, the ICBA leaders said the agency’s dual payments role as a regulator and provider of check, ACH and wire transfer services ensures customers have a trusted option for accessing these services. “Without the Federal Reserve linking together the nation’s financial institutions, there will be slow and unequal access to real-time settlement and ubiquity will not be achieved,” they wrote. Kennedy advocated Fed involvement in real-time payments in a recent American Banker op-ed, as did ICBA in a December comment letter.
