The Virginia Bankers Association is a banking industry organization that acts as the collective voice for Virginia’s state and commercial banks, ranging from smaller institutions to larger ones. Its activities include government affairs and legal work with state and federal legislators to uphold banking standards, along with a professional development program that offers seminars, workshops, and conferences to support lifelong learning for bank staff. The association also collaborates with vetted vendors to provide products and services that banks need to serve customers effectively, and it operates a benefits program through the VBA Benefits Corporation to help members access health-related coverage and rates. Based in Glen Allen, Virginia, the VBA has served the industry since 1893, indicating a long-standing role in shaping industry standards and fostering cooperation within the Virginia banking community. A recent development noted the VBA forming a partnership with the Maryland Bankers Association to align efforts across the region.
