Our Purpose

The voice

And Community

of Mid-Sized Banks in America

The Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America (MBCA) was founded in 2011 by a small group of CEOs who believed mid-size banks were underrepresented and underserved in national conversations. What began with ten institutions has grown into a peer-led coalition of more than 100 banks across all 50 states and Puerto Rico, representing over $3 trillion in assets and powering communities nationwide. MBCA is not a traditional trade association.

It is a self-help community of CEOs and senior executives, built on trust, candor, and shared purpose — a place where leaders connect, exchange practical insight, and amplify the collective influence of mid-size banks.

Our Purpose

Advocate for what matters most to mid-size banks

We focus on the issues where mid-size banks have a distinct perspective — ensuring that viewpoint is understood in Washington. Our advocacy is selective, and grounded in how policy affects lending and Main Street outcomes — ensuring mid-size banks can compete fairly and fully while continuing to fund businesses, support small business success, and serve families, entrepreneurs, and communities.

Collaborate through trusted peer exchange

MBCA is a high-trust, peer-to-peer community where executives share how their banks actually operate. We facilitate the exchange of data, practices, and experiences through benchmarking, surveys, and executive community sessions — focused on practical “how,” not theoretical “what.”

Innovate to deliver shared advantage

We develop and advance shared capabilities that help our members compete more effectively. Through collective investment in tools, data, and solutions, we enable mid-size banks to move faster, operate more efficiently, and extend their impact in the communities they serve.
