Community Bankers Association of Illinois

*** PREFERRED VENDOR ***

The Community Bankers Association of Illinois is the state's only true advocate of community banking. Formed in 1974, CBAI has weathered the changes in banking that have buffeted Illinois since then, emerging as a mature, full-service association for today's community bankers.

CBAI proudly represents approximately 480 Illinois financial institutions and 150 associate members. The Association creates money-saving opportunities for its members and provides first-class educational seminars and schools. Moreover, CBAI professionally lobbies for the Illinois community banker.

The Community BancService Corporation, Inc. (CBSC), a subsidiary of CBAI, selected CTH Technologies as its preferred provider for data loss prevention (DLP) solution. The CTH SecureCARE software product is designed to help community banks manage and secure their most valuable asset, customer data.

“By partnering with CTH, CBAI members now have access to an affordable security solution that will detect and prevent the unauthorized access and transmission of confidential information,” said Robin Loftus, CBSC Chairman and COO of Security Bank, Springfield.

Whether it's improved machine availability, reduced inventory or enhanced asset utilization, ATS can design an outsourced solution that delivers improved productivity and profitability.

Oklahoma Bankers Association

For more than 100 years, Oklahoma banks have relied upon a strong and active statewide organization working to address their changing needs and challenges.

That organization - the Oklahoma Bankers Association - today serves 254 member banks. Based in Oklahoma City, the OBA assists its members with government relations, educational programs, legal and compliance services, communications, insurance products and numerous products and services.

The Association was created in June 1897 when 25 banks from Oklahoma Territory assembled to organize in pursuit of their common goals. It was 10 years before Oklahoma became a state. Of course, the OBA has undergone many changes over the past century, but it has stayed true to its basic mission of helping banks cope with their common concerns and needs.

The OBA works with banks to ensure they have the tools they need to support their communities. We provide fraud training programs to banks at no charge, we bring financial literacy programs to communities across the state and so much more.
