THE MISSISSIPPI BANKER

Joy in the Journey

By Mac Deaver, MBA President As I write these words, we are in the midst of “the most wonderful time of the year.” Despite the turmoil, tragedy and heartache that exists in the world, the holiday season gives all of us the opportunity to experience the joy that comes from faith and family.

While it is a wonderful Deaver time of celebration, it is, most importantly, a time to thank God for his blessings and to enjoy the company of family and friends.

At the same time, the holidays can be very hectic. It is easy for us to become so busy that we miss the point of Christmas.

In addition to dealing with the stress of holiday schedules, some of us can be overwhelmed with sorrow or regret this time of year. Or we can be depressed or disappointed because the holidays just don’t measure up to our high expectations.

Time and again, we are reminded of “the reason for the season.” Put another way, we all need to keep everything in perspective. One of the greatest pieces ever written that helps me put everything – including the holiday season – in perspective is the award-winning essay “The Station.” Written by Rev. Robert J. Hastings, this simple essay was first publicized by columnist Ann Landers in 1981.

Every time I read its words, “The Station” reminds me to cherish life’s journey and not become preoccupied with getting to a mythical destination.

In hopes that it will speak to your heart as it has spoken to mine, I am pleased to reprint “The Station”: Tucked away in our subconscious minds is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long, long trip that almost spans the continent.

We’re traveling by passenger train, and out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving 2

at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls, of biting winter and blazing summer and cavorting spring and docile fall.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour we will pull into the station. There will be bands playing and flags waving.

And once we get there so many wonderful dreams will come true. So many wishes will be fulfilled and so many pieces of our lives finally will be neatly fitted together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damming the minutes for loitering, waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

However, sooner or later we must realize there is no one station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

When we get to the station “that will be it!” we cry. Translated it means, “When I’m 18 that will be it! When I buy a new 450

THE MISSISSIPPI BANKER

SL Mercedes Benz, that will be it! When I put the last kid through college that will be it!

When I have paid off the mortgage that will be it! When I win a promotion that will be it! When I reach the age of retirement that will be it! I shall live happily ever after!”

Unfortunately, once we get “it,” then “it” disappears. The station somehow hides itself at the end of an endless track.

“Relish the moment” is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad.

Rather, it is regret over yesterday or fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who would rob us of today.

So, stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

With a heartfelt thanks for your friendship and support this past year, I wish each of you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

“Bill Freeman’s vast experience in community banking combined with his extensive leadership and military service are valuable assets to BankFirst. We are pleased to have him join our Board of Directors,” said Moak Griffin, president and CEO of BankFirst.

He retired from the bank in 2008 as senior vice president and COO to serve a four-year term as Adjutant General of the Mississippi National Guard under Governor Haley Barbour. Freeman returned to Newton County Bank in 2012 as president and CEO. Newton County Bank was acquired by BankFirst in August 2015.

“I’m honored to join the board of BankFirst,” states Freeman. “Newton County Bank’s recent merger with BankFirst has provided Newton clients the benefits of a

larger, high-performing bank while maintaining the culture and customer service focus they have always valued. As a part of BankFirst, our customers, our employees and our community will benefit immediately and over the years to come.”

Freeman is the chairman of the Mississippi Military Communities Council.

His military service with the Mississippi National Guard began in 1969, and he was promoted through the ranks over the years.

Freeman serves as vice chairman and board member of the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation, a public, non-profit corporation with the mission of coordinating a variety of state resources to assist businesses and industry in obtaining financing and in positioning the State as an aggressive competitor in the global market. He was Mayor of the City of Newton from 1980 to 1987 and Alderman from 1977 to 1980.

Freeman is a graduate of the Louisiana State University School of Banking, a graduate of the University of Mississippi where he earned his bachelor’s degree in banking and finance and a graduate of East Central Junior College where he earned an associate of arts degree.

BankPlus honored with ABA Foundation Community Commitment Award BankPlus was nationally recognized for its CreditPlus program with an American Bankers Association Community Commitment Award. The award, sponsored by the ABA Community Engagement Foundation, was given to BankPlus for its endeavors in the nontraditional borrower & underbanked category and was presented during ABA’s annual convention in Los Angeles.

CreditPlus, BankPlus’ anti-predatory lending program, educates Mississippians about how credit works, and helps them improve their credit scores. Since 2008, over 22,000 Mississippians have attended CreditPlus seminars. BankPlus has provided over 21,000 loans totaling

more than $16,000,000.

From a record-high field of nearly 200 entries, the ABA selection committee chose six banks based on the creativity and thoughtfulness of programs–that embody the ideals of corporate social responsibility and demonstrate success in measurable terms.

Entries were divided into seven categories including affordable housing, community and economic development, financial education, nontraditional borrower and underbanked, protecting older Americans, volunteerism and the George Bailey Distinguished Service Award.

Award winners were chosen by a field of nationally-recognized experts.

“CreditPlus demonstrates BankPlus’ strong and passionate commitment to bettering the lives of its customers and local community,” said Frank Keating, ABA president and CEO. “Their work embodies the mission of the Community Commitment Awards and they are a truly well-deserved recipient.”

“BankPlus and our employees are always looking to find new and meaningful ways to positively impact our community,” said Bill Ray, president and CEO. “We are humbled and honored to accept this award for our efforts.”

Nine banks work together to build Habitat home Strong neighborhoods build strong communities. That’s why nine local banking institutions united for the first time to build a Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Capital Area (HFHMCA) home for a local family, while helping to transform a south Jackson neighborhood.

Partnering in this unique collaboration are Regions, Trustmark, BancorpSouth, Wells Fargo Foundation, BankPlus, BankFirst, Origin Bank, Renasant Bank and First Commercial Bank. Employees from the nine banking institutions worked throughout the seven-day building process.

The 2015 Bankers’ Build forged a unique, collaborative team building experience for the respective banks that will last long after the build is completed. It will also serve as a model for the entire community, showing what can be accomplished when we work together.

The banks are proud to be community partners with Habitat and share in the goal to move families out of poverty housing and empower them through affordable homeownership, while helping to transform a neighborhood riddled with derelict houses into a safe, livable one.

The 2015 Bankers’ Build is the fourth HFHMCA house under construction this

fall on Greenview Drive – a once thriving neighborhood overrun in recent years with derelict and abandoned pieces of property.

Through the strong presence of community banking partners participating in the 2015 Bankers’ Build, the commitment to building the future of this area will be evident.

Congress ponders banking legislation as year ends As we approach the end of the year, Congress is working toward potentially enacting a number of pieces of legislation that could have a positive impact on banking. The MBA is working closely with the Mississippi Congressional delegation to ensure that they are considering banking interests as various pieces of legislation potentially move forward.

House Passes HR Portfolio Lending Bill – MS Delegation Votes On Party Line On November 18, the House passed HR 1210 – the Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act – by a vote of 255174. This bill, which would grant a safe harbor for loans held in a bank’s portfolio under the CFPB’s QM Rule, has been a priority item for the MBA for a number of years. Member bankers have worked to educate the Mississippi Congressional Delegation on the need for safe harbor protections for portfolio-held loans in meetings held in Washington, D.C. and all across Mississippi. The debate on HR 1210 was very partisan. House Republicans argued that portfolio lending would help community banks and other lenders to better serve their customers and communities, and House Democrats argued that passage of HR 1210 would remove important consumer protections and lead to more foreclosures and potentially another housing crisis. The final vote broke down almost completely along partisan lines, with only 12 Democrats voting in favor of HR 1210 and only 1 Republican voting against.

Senate Reg Relief Legislation Could Move Soon There is growing momentum for some form of banking regulatory relief legislation to pass the Senate by the end of this year. The proposal currently under consideration, known as the Shelby Bill, includes a number of important banking regulatory relief provisions advocated by the MBA including: • Provide a QM safe harbor for mortgages held in portfolio, similar to the House Measure HR 1210 mentioned earlier • Reduce the burden of unnecessary privacy notice paperwork; • Help rural customers receive CFPB mortgage exemptions; • Extend the exam cycle for institutions with less than $1B in assets; • Require a study of Basel III’s treatment of mortgage servicing assets; • Require the regulators to provide short form Call Reports based upon the size and complexity of an insured depository institution; and • Exempt insured depository institutions with less than $10 billion in assets from the “Volcker Rule,” unless they are part of a larger holding company or engage in nontraditional banking activities or activities that pose safety and soundness risks.

• Prohibit the bank and credit union regulatory agencies from implementing or participating in Operation Choke Point or any similar program • Raise the threshold for CFPB exams from $10 billion to $50 billion in assets.

The Shelby Bill also would make a number of significant changes to the CFPB and the GSE system, as well as address SIFI designation.

Bipartisan Highway Funding Bill Could Include Important Banking Measures Congress has officially begun the conference committee process on a long-term highway funding bill. If enacted, this bill would potentially fund maintenance of the federal highway system for up to 6 years. Before sending this measure to conference, The House of Representatives amended the bill to include two important banking regulatory relief provisions.

The first would change the requirement that banks mail privacy notices to account holders every year, even if no changes have been made to the institution’s privacy policy. The second would allow for longer exam cycles for well managed community banks.

The House also made an important to change to part of the highway funding mechanism that could potentially impact National and Fed-Member State Chartered banks. The MBA is happy to report that the entire Mississippi House Delegation – Congressmen Trent Kelly, Gregg Harper, Bennie Thompson, and Steven Palazzo - voted in favor of each of these important pro-banking changes.

We are working with Senators Cochran and Wicker to ensure that they are of both aware of the MBA’s support of these House provisions.

MBA recognized as top trade association In government affairs The Mississippi Bankers Association was recently named by The Southern Political Report as one of the South’s top trade associations for effectiveness in government affairs.

The MBA was one of five Mississippi trade association to be recognized by Southern Political Report in its Summer 2015 issue. The rankings were based on results of an online survey of government affairs specialists across 13 Southern states. In addition, lawyers and lobbyists were consulted in finalizing the rankings.

Mississippi voters elect 37 new state legislators On November 3, Mississippians went to the polls to elect state-wide office holders, members of the Mississippi Legislature, and various other positions.

MissBankPAC, the political arm of the Mississippi Bankers Association, was actively involved in supporting candidates in a number of races through its State Fund.

In the state-wide races, each incumbent won re-election including Governor Phil Bryant, Lt. Governor Tate Reeves, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, Attorney General Jim Hood, and TreaBryant surer Lynn Fitch. Following the completion of the upcoming four-year term in office, both Governor Bryant and Lt. Governor Reeves will be precluded from running for re-election by the state’s term limit laws

thereby insuring changes in state-wide officials next election cycle.

While there were no changes to the state-wide officials, a number of new legislators were elected – including 10 new members of the Mississippi Senate and 27 new members of the Mississippi House of Representatives. These newly elected members will be sworn in on January 5, the day the Mississippi Legislature is scheduled to convene the 2016 Regular Session.

Even with 10 new members elected, there are very few changes in the partisan make-up of the state Senate. This will allow Republican Lt. Governor Reeves to continue to lead the Senate with the same Republican super majority he has presided over for the last 4 years.

In the House, 18 of the 27 newly elected members are Republican. This substantial increase in the number of Republican representatives will grow

the GOP conference to 73 members (potentially 74 – one race is still pending at the time of printing). This will likely give Speaker of the House Philip Gunn a super majority, a significant change from the slim simple majority the Republicans have held for the last four years.

“With all of these changes, it will be more important than ever to develop and maintain strong grassroots relationships with legislators and other elected leaders,” said Gordon Fellows, MBA vice president of government relations. “In district contacts and conversations will be extremely important in educating newly elected legislators about banking issues.”

The MBA has already been involved in communicating with many of the new officials. After the association sets legislative positions and priorities for the 2016 session, MBA staff will begin explaining these positions to legislators and urging bankers to contact their local legislators.

MBA Washington Visit promotes reg relief legislation The 2015 MBA Washington Visit, the cornerstone of the MBA’s Congressional lobbying efforts, took place October 4-7. More than 30 Mississippi bankers attended this year’s trip, which focused on discussing efforts to pass important banking regulatory relief measures with Mississippi’s Congressional Delegation, federal bank regulators, and national banking trade associations.

‘A Banker in Every Classroom’

MBA project has another record-breaking year; Over 500 presentations made by Mississippi bankers, teachers Governor Phil Bryant proclaimed November 2-6, 2015, as ‘A Banker in Every Classroom’ week in Mississippi.

During that week, bankers across the state joined with local teachers in an effort like never before to present lessons in personal finance. As a result, more than 500 of presentations were made, reaching approximately 15,000 students.

‘A Banker in Every Classroom’ is a project sponsored by the Mississippi Bankers Association to bring financial education to students in grades K through 12 in Mississippi’s public and private schools.

In the project’s four years, more than 2,000 classroom sessions have reached approximately 57,000 students statewide.

The project was developed by the MBA in response to the critical need for more financial education in Mississippi schools and communities. “We are finding that, by bringing teachers and bankers together in the local schools, they can reach more students in a meaningful way,” said Mac Deaver, MBA president. “We do not dictate what topics are covered; that is up to the teachers and bankers to decide,” he added. “They are best equipped to know what information is most important to make a difference in the lives of young people in their community.”

A major objective of ‘A Banker in Every Classroom’ is to develop relationships between bankers and teachers. These

14

relationships have already resulted in many ongoing joint efforts to benefit students, Deaver said.

Amy Davis, MBA senior vice president, originated the idea for ‘A Banker in Every Classroom’ and, in just five years it has become one of the largest personal finance projects ever in Mississippi schools.

The MBA supports the project, first, by pairing teachers and bankers in local areas and, then, by providing materials and other assistance. Grade-specific materials are available on saving, credit, budgeting and many other personal finance subjects.

To participate, bankers and teachers register separately with the MBA, which works to schedule classroom sessions throughout ‘A Banker in Every Classroom’ week. In addition, teachers and bankers are encouraged to make presentations throughout the year.

The MBA would like to thank each bank, banker, school and teacher that helped to make this a record-breaking year! For more information on ‘A Banker in Every Classroom’ week and to see more photos, please visit www.msbankers.com.

GSB at LSU: Developing bank leaders since 1950

School’s 67th annual session set May 22-June 3, 2016, in Baton Rouge Since Mississippi banker Orrin Swayze led the establishment of the School of Banking of the South at Louisiana State University in 1950, the school has become one of the most successful graduate banking schools in the country. In 65 years, the school – operated today as the Graduate School of Banking at LSU – has awarded diplomas to almost 16,000 bankers.

There were 100 students in the school’s first session over six decades ago. Seventeen of these students were Mississippi bankers. Today, the school annually has an enrollment in excess of 450 bankers, hailing from throughout the United States and a number of foreign countries. Many leaders in Mississippi’s banking industry have graduated from GSB, which has become a cornerstone of banking education for Mississippi bankers. GSB alumni include current MBA Vice Chairman Frank Sibley. Approximately 10 percent of the school’s graduates – about 1,600 – have been Mississippi bankers.

When it was founded in 1950, GSB had the sponsorship of the Mississippi Bankers Association and 8 other state bankers associations. As the school grew and prospered, a number of other state associations joined in support. Today, 15 state bankers associations from Texas to Virginia are co-sponsors of GSB. Dr. Don Woodland is the long-time Director of GSB, and he works closely with the school's 33-member Board of

Trustees to keep the curriculum current and meaningful, and to maintain the highest standards among the school faculty. Max Yates, senior executive vice president of BankPlus, Ridgeland, is on the school’s Board of Trustees, and MBA president Mac Deaver currently serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees. The GSB faculty is made up of senior bank officers, industry regulators, banking educators, and professionals. A number of faculty members are Mississippians, including past MBA chairmen George Schloegel and Carl Chaney, as well as Dr. Ken Cyree, holder of the MBA/Frank R. Day Chair of Banking.

Mississippi bankers and the MBA have long been active in the leadership of the school. Six bankers from our state – beginning with Orrin Swayze – have served as GSB president. Swayze was an officer of Jackson's First National Bank (now Trustmark) when he was the school's first president in 1950. Other GSB presidents from Mississippi have included Bob Gaddis, George Schloegel, Harry Walker, Clifton Fowler and Tommy Darnell.

The three-year program of study at GSB at LSU includes three two-week sessions on the LSU campus and the successful completion of home study problems between sessions. Banker interaction and networking is a valuable part of the GSB experience, as students work together on case studies and projects, and compete

as teams in a computerized bank simulation exercise during their third year. In all, graduates of the school complete well over 100 hours of classroom instruction over three years.

While maintaining the most intensive program of any graduate banking school in the nation, GSB continues to offer the lowest tuition. This makes the school a tremendous value for educating the upand-coming bank leaders in Mississippi and the nation. Tuition for the 2016 session is $3,995.

Applications are now being accepted for the school's 2016 session, to be held on the LSU campus May 22 through June 3. Application forms are available online or from the GSB office.

Deadline to register for the 2016 session is April 18. Additional details on the school and an online application on the GSB website at www.gsblsu.org. The site also provides a complete list of courses and faculty, along with other information.

Bankers may also get information on how to apply by calling the school office at (888) 278-0025.

Since 1970, the MBA-sponsored Mississippi School of Banking has provided Mississippi bankers with a two-year program covering all aspects of banking activity and bank management. The MSB program consists of two one-week sessions on the University of Mississippi campus, with home study problems completed by students between sessions.

MSB works to foster academic and social interaction between its bankerstudents, which is conducive to problem solving during the school and in the bank.

The school’s curriculum is presented by a distinguished faculty of bankers, educators, regulators and industry professionals. In their second year, teams of MSB students compete in a computerized bank

MBA Education Foundation

Gifts from banks, bankers support foundation’s mission To fund scholarships, financial education in Mississippi The Mississippi Bankers Association Education Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary of the MBA established in 2012, is completing its 2015 campaign to raise funds to support its mission of providing college, high school and banker scholarships and promoting financial education in Mississippi schools and communities.

Frank Sibley, president and chief executive officer of Citizens Bank & Trust, and MBA vice chairman, serves as president of the Education Foundation.

The Foundation awards annual scholar- Sibley ships in conjunction with the Mississippi Young Bankers section and supports personal finance education provided by the MBA, MYB and our member banks. The goal of the Foundation is to be a stable, long-term source of funding that will allow for the continuation, and enhancement, of these important activities. Current scholarships include the Orrin Swayze Awards, given to college seniors studying banking and finance; the Leadership Scholarship, given to a college junior studying banking; the Merit Scholarship, given to a high school senior who is the son or daughter of a Mississippi banker; and the Mississippi School of Banking Awards, given to the top students at the MBA-sponsored banking school. (Each scholarship has specific rules governing eligibility and selection criteria).

Through support of the Education Foundation, banks and bankers make possible activities which benefit our communities and state – and promote an accurate and positive image of our industry. In a letter to bankers earlier this year, Sibley encouraged bankers to consider making a gift before the end of 2015 and putting the Education Foundation in their budgets going forward. As a charitable organization, the foundation may accept tax-deductible gifts under state and federal law.

Sibley chairs an eight-member board of 18

directors which governs the foundation.

The board is composed of bankers who serve as members of the MBA Executive Committee and officers of the Mississippi Young Bankers. MBA treasurer Jerry Host of Jackson is vice president of the Foundation. Other board members are George Marx of Hazlehurst, Freddie Bagley of Brandon, Parker England of Greenville, Johnny Barrett of Oxford, Buddy Mortimer of Kilmichael, Kent Mortimer of Kilmichael and Wes Rouse of Hattiesburg.

Mac Deaver, MBA president, serves as secretary-treasurer of the Foundation.

Since it began fundraising in November 2012, the Foundation has received 89 cash gifts from 51 corporate and individual donors. A number of these are recurring annual gifts. Presently, after awarding $15,500 in scholarships in 2015, the Foundation has a fund balance of $118,440. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded a total of $46,500 in scholarships. Under policies set by the board, cash gifts to the foundation’s general fund can be accepted without restriction. Any non-cash gifts or gifts designated for a particular purpose require approval by board action.

The board has established five levels of recognition for those making gifts to the foundation. Bankers are encouraged to make gifts in memory or recognition of persons who have made notable contributions to Mississippi banking. A Pledge Card, along with other information on the Education Foundation, are available on the MBA website – www.msbankers. com. All bankers are encouraged to contact Deaver to get answers to questions

EMV chip cards: ABA breaks down how the chip card Will change the banking landscape This fall banks across the country have started issuing new credit and debit cards to their customers. These new cards feature a “chip” technology that provides an additional layer of security to financial transactions.

What are EMV Cards?

Called EMV cards – short for Europay, MasterCard, Visa – they are already a common form of technology used around the world. EMV cards are essentially a standard-size credit card with an embedded microprocessor chip that stores and protects cardholder data. This computer chip is a small, metallic square on the front of the credit or debit card. It utilizes a process that scrambles personal and financial data to make it virtually useless to criminals. It generates an encrypted, one-time-use digital key for each transaction.

consumers are protected as soon as possible. Magstripes will still work at stores without a chip terminal. Since this is a gradual process, consumers don’t have to worry about their current cards being accepted after October 1.

Liability Shift

If the digital key is stolen, it is useless, as the criminal cannot use it to conduct another transaction. However, EMV does not prevent or deter fraudulent card-notpresent purchases, such as online shopping. Most card fraud in the U.S. takes place in card-not-present transactions.

“Banks are continually looking for ways to leverage technologies to protect their customers whether it’s at a store, at the ATM or online,” said Frank Keating, president and CEO of the American Bankers Association. “This chip technology is another layer of security for the millions of in-person transactions made every day.”

Banks have already made significant headway in leading the EMV transition, with a total of 575 million EMV cards expected to be issued by the end of 2015. Many large retailers have moved quickly to adopt EMV as well, but small businesses have been slower to implement these terminals. According to ABA Banking Journal, a survey conducted by Newtek Business Services showed only 41 percent of business owners currently have the ability to accept EMV credit and debit cards. Of those with EMV terminals, 53 percent reported that they have no plans to update their technology to become EMV compliant. Banks or retailers that are not using chip technology by October 2015 will assume liability for any fraud that occurs thereafter.

Transition to EMV Cards

Consumer Education

Fraud Prevention

Starting this October, banks began to offer cards equipped with chip-based technology, while some retailers installed terminals capable of reading the chipbased cards. This is not a government mandate, nor is it a deadline. It is a private sector-initiated incentive to ensure that

Many consumers may wonder if there will be cost to upgrade their current cards to an EMV card - there is no cost to consumers. Banks and payment networks have invested billions into EMV. Banks are absorbing the cost of issuing EMV cards, which cost the banks about 15 times

THE MISSISSIPPI BANKER

what magstripe cards cost.

As these new cards are being issued, it will be important for banks to educate their customers on the benefit of the new technology embedded in these chip cards and how to use these new cards. “Bank customers will continue to enjoy protections from fraud liability. When you dip your chip card, you are using technology that makes life harder for fraudsters,” said Keating. As cardholders adjust to this new technology, bank staff needs to be well educated as well on how these chip cards work. On the opposite page is an infographic created

by ABA to help educate on EMV cards and how to use them.

Moving Forward

EMV chips are an important innovation that better protect consumers’ financial data, but they are only part of the greater effort made by banks and networks to combat hackers. Other innovations are on the horizon and will play an important role fighting future threats.

CHIP CARDS Banks are issuing payment cards embedded with security chips to help protect you against fraud at the register.

WHAT IS A CHIP CARD?

HOW DO I USE IT?

A chip card—also known as an EMV card—is your financial institution’s way of adding an extra layer of security when you pay. Chip cards can be used anywhere your other cards are used, but the chip functionality only works at a business that has an activated chip-enabled terminal.

1

Insert your card into the chipenabled terminal with the chip first, facing up.

2

Leave the card in the terminal until the transaction is complete.

You may be prompted to sign your name.

3

If there isn’t a chip-enabled terminal, use the card the traditional way and swipe.

WHY ARE CHIP CARDS MORE SECURE?

BANK NAME

Consumers continue to have zero liability for fraudulent transactions.

1234 5678 9012 3456

The chip in your card is virtually impossible to duplicate.

That means attempts by a fraudster to create and use counterfeit cards will be much harder.

Exp. 2018 JOHN DOE

The chip generates a unique, one-time code each time you dip your card at a chip-enabled terminal. Your purchase can only be approved with the chip-generated code.

American Bankers Association THE MISSISSIPPI BANKER

Proud to Have Served America’s Hometown Bankers

By Gov. Frank Keating, American Bankers Association President and CEO

Well before I began my tenure as president and CEO of ABA, I had a sense of the crucial role that banks play in their communities. I knew because when I was first running for governor of Oklahoma, I logged hundreds of Keating miles visiting towns in every corner of the state. And in each of those towns, the local bank shone like a beacon. It was always the best-maintained, most respectable facility on Main Street.

To me, that was a symbol of hope and prosperity, a vote of confidence in the town’s future.

After five years at ABA, I can tell you that my early impressions were spot on.

Hometown banks -- and the good men and women who work for them -- are the biggest investors in their communities. They are the reasons for good things happening in cities and towns across the country. And it has been an honor to become part of such a noble profession.

I leave my post proud of what we have accomplished together, and confident that ABA’s new leader, Rob Nichols, will continue to move our Agenda for America’s Hometown Banks forward. I have known Rob for several years and can vouch for his stellar credentials, policy background and established relationships with policymakers -- all of which will serve you and our industry well.

The current policy environment – featuring a chaotic session of Congress and intimidation of thoughtful policymakers

who dare to consider corrections to the flawed Dodd-Frank Act -- often forces us to measure progress in inches, not miles.

But every inch or section of a rule that we make more workable for banks and their customers -- as we did with several “qualified mortgage” provisions and other rules, such as Basel III and the Volcker Rule -- is important. And every chink we put in the armor of our government-subsidized competitors can help us in our long-term efforts to level the playing field.

There’s no changing policy affecting banks without first changing the conversation about banks and the vital role they play in our economic ecosystem. That’s something we have done together. We have, for instance, put a real face on the industry with our America’s Hometown Banker ads, and we’ve made a point to tell policymakers how proposals affect not our banks or bottom lines, but our customers and communities. That’s putting it in language policymakers understand best -- and care about most.

Of course, there is so much that remains on the industry’s to-do list.

Dodd-Frank Act provisions, including the dreadful Durbin interchange amendment, have proved difficult to undo. But as I write this, ABA is working with the state associations on a no-holds-barred effort to persuade the Senate to pass regulatory relief. And we are continuing to press regulators to do what they can to tailor rules, making them appropriate for banks of different business models and risk profiles. One example: We have proposed to regulators -- and they seem receptive -that well-capitalized community banks be

exempted from complex Basel III capital calculations.

The key to our future success is the same as it is today: banker engagement.

Not that ABA and the state associations don’t play an important role in advocating for you. But when it’s time to cast a vote -- on a rule or a bill -- a policymaker is most likely to be persuaded by his or her constituents. That means they must hear from you. Regularly.

I also urge you to engage at a broader political level. No doubt the 2016 elections will have a big impact on our industry. You can help shape the outcome of races by offering your time and talents to candidates, and by contributing to organizations like BankPac and the Financial Education and Advocacy Initiative, the 501(c)4 that ABA set up in 2012 to provide another avenue for banker political participation.

Your continued engagement and partnership with your trade associations is a difference-maker. Please give them all you’ve got. The banking industry’s future is in your hands.

As for my future, I will leave ABA on Dec. 31 proud of having served a whitehat industry and grateful for the chance to have worked with the industry’s finest leaders.

Thank you for your support, and thank you for all you do for our great nation. © 2015 American Bankers Association. All rights reserved. Reprinted with permission.
