The Conference of State Bank Supervisors stands firm in its commitment to advancing professionalism in all state banking departments. We are not the average Washington association... we are an extension of your primary regulator. Our strength lies in bringing all state banking departments together with bankers like you to present a unified voice in Washington.

Founded in 1902 as a clearinghouse for ideas to solve common problems of state bank regulators, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) has evolved into a vital force that strengthens state banking departments. For one hundred years, CSBS has been uniquely positioned as the only national organization dedicated to protecting and advancing our nation's dual banking system. Through CSBS, state bank regulatory agencies and state-chartered banks continue to champion a system that offers competitive chartering options, efficient and effective supervision, and a lower cost of regulation for all banks.
