CBA Kicks Off 2025 Compliance & BSA Programs in Macon and Tifton!

BSA RAP Session-February 2025, Quarter 1 Macon Compliance Program-CRA,
Quarter 1 Tifton Compliance Program-CRA 

The 2025 CBA Compliance & BSA Programs have officially begun, and what a great start it’s been! We recently held successful sessions in Macon and Tifton, bringing together bankers and industry professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in compliance and BSA training.

This year’s first Compliance session focused on the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), an essential topic for financial institutions striving to meet their regulatory obligations. The session was led by Kristin Harville from PSI, whose expertise in compliance matters helped attendees better understand CRA requirements and how they apply to their institutions.

The day didn’t end there – Kristin also facilitated the BSA RAP Session, a practical, interactive workshop designed to help participants refine their BSA knowledge and ensure they are on top of the latest regulatory updates. These sessions provided valuable insights and actionable takeaways for attendees to implement in their daily operations.

It’s Not Too Late to Join the CBA Compliance Program!

The CBA Compliance Program is off to a strong start, but it's not too late for you to become a member. We have exciting topics lined up for the rest of the year, including:
