Passing SAFE puts the cannabis industry into the financial system where cash can be tracked, and helps cut down violent cash related crime. Tell your senators to vote YES on SAFE!

The ABA is a $1.6 million dollar tax-exempt organization and this is our yearly 990 filing to ensure that we are following our mission and don’t have frivolous expenses. Why don’t Credit Unions (also tax exempt and much larger) have to do the same??! @ArkBankers

Brooks Koepka talked about how, during practice rounds, he stands in the middle of a green and looks back at the hole to see how to play it.
Many architects will tell you the same, that the best way to study a golf course is to walk it backwards, green-to-tee

Ask Congress to support the resolution of disapproval of the CFPB’s final rule on Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rule could make it more expensive for lenders to make loans to small businesses and compromise small business privacy.

This commonsense, bipartisan bill would resolve the ongoing conflict between state and federal law so that banks can serve state-authorized cannabis and cannabis-related businesses, and would also enhance public safety.

Credit unions are not subject to consumer compliance exams by their primary regulator, the NCUA. It’s past time for lawmakers to reexamine this policy. Consumers won’t be fully protected until CUs are properly supervised. reformcu.social/3I5Or6L

If credit unions are financial institutions specifically chartered to serve low-income communities, why don't they have to document their service to those low-income communities?

The financial quagmire that cannabis businesses are thrust into when a state legalizes marijuana stems from the fact that it is an illicit substance. That traps banks between their goal of servicing the financial needs of their communities & federal law. @JoeWMBA @MinnBankers
The legalization of marijuana in Minnesota seems likely, but federal rules may still keep banks out of the lucrative market. bizjournals.com/twincities/n…

Ultra-large CUs’ tax-exempt status helps them rack up profits and acquire community banks. While consulting firms are reaping the benefits of these deals, taxpayers are left with less money to help their communities. Read more: reformcu.social/3hrUzMa
