Maryland Bank Services, Inc., a wholly-owned affiliate of the MBA, works with qualified vendors to provide products and services that allow members to enhance revenue or reduce expenses. By seeking opportunities to leverage the collective buying power of the industry, Maryland Bank Services helps financial institutions and Associate Members achieve greater value from their membership.
Banking is a highly specialized industry requiring highly specialized support. Very often a financial institution manager is charged with finding qualified expertise for a new company initiative, with increasing non-interest revenue, or with protecting the safety on the institution itself.
Most businesses ordinarily need to look no further than the telephone directory for quality vendors. The banking industry, however, often must chose from among only a few vendors who serve the entire nation. Through Maryland Bank Services, members of the MBA have immediate access to some of the finest industry support in the country - vendors who make a strong commitment to Maryland banking.
The Maryland Bank Services Board of Directors, comprised of officers for MBA member institutions, conducts a due-diligence review of all proposed endorsed relationships. The board then revisits the relationship periodically to ensure that the provider offers genuine value and quality service to Association members. Maryland Bank Services receives a small fee in return for marketing support and promotion, which in turn supports the work of the MBA staff. Vendors must maintain quality service to retain their endorsements.
MBA Associate Members are welcome and encouraged to take full advantage of opportunities available through Maryland Bank Services, thereby adding further value to their MBA membership.
