  MBA Testified in Front of House Financial Services Committee At 10:30 a.m. this morning, MBA Chairman Grant Smith and Immediate Past-Chair Jeanne Richter joined the MBA Advocacy team to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee. The committee was held to hear from the financial services trades regarding how COVID-19 impacted the industry. The MBA took this opportunity to share the work banks undertook to disburse capital to small business through PPP, offer relief programs to customers, and support your communities through both a world-wide pandemic and other disaster events that occurred simultaneously. Banks have a story that needs to be told and the MBA remains committed to taking every opportunity to do just that. View the testimony.
