CSBS Bank Membership

The U.S. financial system is among the most dynamic and resilient in the world, thanks in large part to the diversity of institutions encouraged by the dual-banking system. From small towns to major cities, from family-owned businesses to large employers, this framework supports access to financial services that reflect the needs of the communities they serve.

The state-bank charter is central to this strength. It preserves local accountability, fosters innovation, and sustains a competitive marketplace where no single approach dominates.

As members of CSBS, banks support the state charter and the dual-banking system while gaining special access to CSBS leadership, dual-banking policy insights and communications, and tools that support bank operations and the safety and soundness of the banking system.
