Deposits and Payments Committee

The mission of CBA’s Deposits and Payments Committee is to focus on education, legislative and regulatory issues and information sharing for consumer deposits and related payments systems within banks.
This Committee is committed to taking a leadership role in providing members with an appropriate open forum to discuss best practices, emerging trends, offer networking opportunities and provide advocacy in the federal legislative and regulatory environment.
The Committee's goals are:
- To provide guidance to the industry for navigating the uncertainty of the new regulatory and legislative environment and to shape the future of regulation and reform;
- Proactively work to improve the industry’s reputation; and
- Promote product innovation to ensure consumer choice.
