OBL HOSTED ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL DC FLY-IN

If ever there was an important year for Ohio bankers to visit their legislators and regulators in Washington D.C., it was this one. With many issues on the forefront that affect the industry, nearly 80 Ohio bankers took to The Hill to make their voices heard. The event took place in early March and bankers visited with nearly the entire Ohio delegation. In addition, bankers met with Acting FDIC Chair Gruenberg, Senior OCC Staff and Fed Governor Bowman. While there, bankers discussed important topics such as interest rate caps, ESG, digital assets, interchange, credit unions, cannabis banking, overdrafts, fintech charters and more.

The OBL was also proud to have the OBL Bank Leadership Institute students join their peers at the DC Fly-In this year. The event proves to be an incredibly valuable learning experience to those who are new to governmental advocacy.
