Martinez was at the House of Representatives on behalf of the
Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America to voice the concerns of
community banks in the United States, who represent, service and
support millions of customers.
“Every hour a bank employee spends on regulatory compliance is
an hour that the employee is not able to spend on what we value
most – helping our customers achieve financial success,” Martinez
said.
Martinez has held the position of BSA officer at IBC Bank for
more than 27 years. This experience has given her a front-row seat
for the unintended consequences of regulation on community
banks.
“I hope I have conveyed to you that regulatory costs and burdens
imposed on banks affect our nation’s small businesses,” Martinez
testified.
Community banks across the country struggle with many gray areas
of the Customer Due Diligence Rule that are difficult to implement,
resulting in accounts being turned away, or causing delays in
opening accounts. The rule also puts a burden on banks to ensure
the information the customer provides to open an account is
accurate without giving banks the tools or guidance they need to
determine accuracy of information.
“In the 5 years and 4 months I have had the privilege and honor
to sit on this committee, we have received testimony from an
incredible number of interested stakeholders ranging from consumers
seeking to protect consumers to those who are regulated,” said Rep.
Denny Heck (D-Wash.) a member of the Financial Services Committee
and U.S. Congressman who represents Washington’s 10th District. “In
all that time, Ms. Martinez, I don’t think I have ever heard a
testimony presented as strong and clear and supported as
yours. You are a credit to your profession and I just wanted
to thank you for that.”
