Member Services Committee Chair: Mani Swarnam
With 11 standing committees, CBA offers member community banks a way to strengthen their association first-hand. The Committee Chair, along with committee members provide valuable feedback and guidance on the needs, challenges and opportunities of Georgia’s community banks.
We are pleased to feature the chair of the CBA’s Member Services Committee, Subramanian (Mani) Swarnam, SVP - Commercial Lending, Georgia Primary Bank, Atlanta.
CBA invited Mani to participate in a Q&A so you can learn about his bank, how his role on the committee helps other CBA members, and more.
How long have you been in banking?
21 years
What makes your bank different?
Helping clients sustain and grow their businesses by providing creative funding solutions in a responsive manner.
How does the Member Services Committee help CBA members?
By providing pre-screened vendor and service provider options (through its Preferred Service Provider program) to add to the quiver of member banks in serving their stakeholders. The Member Services Committee also strives to give its member banks additional exposure to the latest/ evolving products and services within the industry including Fin-Tech, so our fellow banks and bankers can be on the leading edge instead of playing catch-up. Additionally, I encourage our member banks to contact us and talk to us about burning issues or challenges they are faced with in today’s banking industry landscape, which I sincerely believe our committee could explore solving for them. The Member Services Committee along with CBA’s leadership can also collaborate with CBAs of other states as well as ICBA to help identify solutions for member banks.
