ABA Banking Journal

It’s been a big day for us at the ABA Banking Journal & ABA Daily Newsbytes. Thanks to all who have contributed to this rollout — and to readers who have reached out with feedback! (Please keep the input coming.)

To mark Independence Day, enjoy this replay of the ABA Banking Journal's podcast which explores the role of banking and finance in the American Revolution and the founding era. John Steele Gordon, an acclaimed economic historian whose books include "Hamilton's Blessing," "The Great Game" and "An Empire of Wealth" discusses how not having chartered banks prior to 1782 put the United States at a disadvantage during the Revolution; how the Bank of England was a "secret weapon" for Britain during the war; the role of patriotic financiers like Robert Morris in achieving U.S. victory; and more.

One of the best parts of my job is getting to spend time visiting our bank members, and each summer Sheryl Johnson and I spend time with our incoming American Bankers Association chair to produce a video and ABA Banking Journal cover story. We enjoyed a hot but fun visit to Richmond (that's me with Richmond native and Virginia banking legend Maggie Lena Walker) to learn more about John Asbury and his strategy to grow Atlantic Union Bank. Thanks to John, Lucy Whitmer and the AUB team for your hospitality, and stay tuned to the Banking Journal for the cover story this fall!

Always a memorable moment when a person gets their first published byline in our publication. That special feeling now belongs to Melina Golembiewski! Thanks for (and congrats on) the co-bylined piece about fun, familial ways to drive finlit during the summer. https://lnkd.in/e8-JkKkP #financialliteracy #communityengagement #banking #ABAFoundation

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems have become indispensable tools, streamlining sales and marketing efforts. Despite the technology’s widespread adoption in industries like real estate and B2B sales, the banking sector has lagged due to integration challenges and initial resistance from bankers. However, a recent ABA Marketing Technology and AI Survey reveals a shift, with nearly half of bank marketers now using CRMs and a quarter planning to implement them soon.
