Welcome to the Tennessee Bankers Association's Linkedin page. The Tennessee Bankers Association (TBA) is a trade association established to serve the needs of our state’s banks, thrift institutions, and trust companies. 

The Association provides continuing education, develops and monitors state and federal legislative agendas, disseminates information on all facets of the financial services industry, and promotes the public image of financial institutions.

The TBA held its first annual convention on October 13, 1890, in Memphis. Today, 214 Tennessee banks, thrift institutions, and trust companies belong to the Association. 

Each year, the TBA conducts approximately 80 information, education, and training programs. Among these are the TBA Annual Meeting, Independent Bankers Division Convention, and the TBA Leadership Convention. The TBA conducts four banking schools—The Southeastern Schools of Banking, Commercial Lending, Consumer Credit, and Advanced Commercial Lending. 

On the legislative and legal fronts, TBA keeps members informed of rapid developments in the financial industry. The Association coordinates legislative programs on both the national and state levels, provides regulatory information to member institutions, researches legal questions posed by members, and serves as a liaison between member banks and the state and federal governing bodies and regulatory agencies. 

Through the Personal Economics Program (PEP), local bankers bring practical economic education to area schools, community, and civic organizations. The national Teach Children to Save Day and Get Smart About Credit Day, which teaches older teens about using credit wisely, are just two of the consumer-oriented activities under PEP.
