Since 1891, the Arkansas Bankers Association has been representing the interests of bankers. The ABA is also concerned about helping bank customers of all ages throughout the state. We have established programs to reduce crime and fraud, and to help youngsters achieve financial literacy.

Crime Prevention
The ABA Robbery Reward program offers rewards for information leading to the identification, arrest and/or conviction of persons who commit robberies and other crimes against commercial banks. By working directly with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, this program serves as a deterrent to bank robberies.

Financial Literacy
Teaching personal finance to the next generation makes good business sense. That's why the ABA has partnered with the American Bankers Association to promote financial literacy. Two programs that help youth in our communities learn about saving and credit issues are Teach Children to Save Day and Get Smart About Credit Day.

Identity Theft
ABA makes presentations around the state educating bankers on how to combat identity theft. These programs provide information on how customers can protect themselves for falling victim to identity theft.

Foreclosures are increasing nationwide, and so are scams that promise to “rescue” homeowners from foreclosure. These con artists take advantage of people who have fallen behind on their mortgages and face foreclosure. They know that people in these situations are vulnerable and likely to be desperate.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency offers advise to help borrowers from falling victim to these scams and a list of resources to find qualified sources for help.
