Posts - Bill - HR 4544 American Access to Banking Act

house 07/17/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to make it easier for new banks and credit unions to get started by improving how federal agencies review applications, support capital raising, and provide guidance throughout the process. Our goal is to encourage the creation of more community-focused financial institutions through clearer communication and mentorship programs.
