​Legislative and Regulatory Affairs

PACB is the only trade association in Pennsylvania that advocates exclusively for the community banking industry.

The financial services industry is broad and very diverse. No segment of the industry is more critical for the health and vitality of local economies than community banks. A deep understanding and commitment to their local communities; responsiveness; flexibility and personal relationships are the hallmarks that allow community banks to so ably serve the families and businesses on Main Streets across Pennsylvania. You finance family dreams and are the economic engine that drives small business.
​
Yet, almost daily, legislators weigh in on a myriad of issues that can affect your ability to serve your customers. PACB is dedicated to advocating for community banks and educating legislators about your value in the community and the critical issues that threaten your existence. In Harrisburg and Washington, PACB is the front line of defense protecting Pennsylvania’s community banking industry.
