OUR GOALS
EMPOWERING BANKERS
Our goal is to teach and guide through education, collaboration, and find new ways for community banks to make money. BaaS is a highly specialized niche and one that is seeing a tremendous increase in bank participants. Fueled by rapid expansion in fintech funding and a constant supply of new startups, there simply aren’t enough BaaS Sponsor banks to meet the growing demand from hundreds of FinTech applicants. The BaaS Association aims to serve the unique needs of BaaS Sponsor banks.
To conduct legislative and regulatory advocacy efforts to promote an environment for the responsible delivery of Banking as a Service (BaaS) by Federally insured depository institutions.
To promote best practices and standards for the delivery of BaaS to non-banks.
Stay ahead of compliance in close contact with regulators. Standardize compliance best practices, side by side with regulators.
To build a community of like-minded bankers, and other industry participants, to share experiences, insights, successes, and failures realized in BaaS endeavors.
To connect Federally insured financial institutions to the partners who will help them facilitate a successful BaaS program.
