Associate Financial Members

Associate Financial Members state, national or foreign banks/state or federal savings banks, or savings and loan associations that are doing business in Maryland and do not qualify to be a Charter Member. Additional candidates include Trust companies, insurance companies, securities broker-dealers, or other corporations/partnerships that provide financial services as their primary business and are currently doing business in Maryland, but do not qualify to be a Charter Member.​

​As an Associate Financial Member of the Maryland Bankers Association, the following are just a few ways your organization can benefit through membership:

The Maryland Bankers Association actively participates in legislative, regulatory and judicial affairs at the state and federal levels and when warranted, locally. MBA’s legislative efforts include drafting, monitoring, and influencing the outcome of legislation in Annapolis and in Washington D.C. that is beneficial to the banking industry.

In addition to its legislative efforts, the Association sponsors the Maryland Bankers Political Action Committee (Maryland BankPAC) to help elect candidates to state and federal office that are supportive of the banking industry.

Associate Financial Members have the opportunity to serve on select MBA Councils and Committees.

Associate Financial Members receive all MBA publications.

MBA continually provides new information and skills to the membership, so that they may improve their productivity in the workplace and ultimately improve the bottom line. Programs offered by MBA inform members of regulatory changes and new trends, provide training essential in performing specific functions and keep the membership up-to-date on important issues as well as changes in the industry. MBA also provides executive education as well as other programs throughout the year.

Associate Financial Members are offered sponsorship opportunities for conferences throughout the year as well as our premier events such as the Annual Convention.​​Associate Financial Members receive discounted advertising opportunities.
