St. Louis Federal Reserve President and CEO James Bullard, made news in Farmington, on May 23 when he presented the Zelda Martin Cozean Lecture at the request of Mineral Area College Foundation. The event was covered by representatives of the national financial media including Bloomberg, Dow Jones and Reuters datelined Farmington, Missouri. (Google “James Bullard” and “Farmington, Missouri” and see the many articles generated by his speech.) Before the lecture, Dr. Bullard attended a dinner meeting with directors and guests of the area’s community banks hosted by Mineral Area College. Directors from MRV Bank, New Era Bank, First State Community Bank, Belgrade State Bank, Bank Star of the LeadBelt, and Ozarks Federal Savings and Loan received an informal briefing on the obstacles to the nation’s economy. Dr. Bullard also entertained questions in a give and take from the directors. Dr. Bullard acknowledged that community banks were unfairly painted with the same brush as investment bankers and he praised community banks for the role they play.

MBA encourages fundraising for Joplin disaster relief “The images we have seen this week from the Joplin tornado bring back memories of Hurricane Katrina and the Flood of ’93.

MBA will be making a $5,000 donation to the American Red Cross for the relief effort. Banks that want to help the recovery in Joplin can donate to the American Red Cross. To assist you in making your donations and to help us keep track of the generosity of our members, please send your check(s) to the MBA and we will promptly deliver them to the Red Cross.

Chairman’s Corner

John KlebbaChairmanMissouri Bankers Association

It’s hard for me to believe that this is my 18th and last Chairman’s column. My year as Chair has gone by quickly, at least in part because it has been such an eventful 12

months. My Chairmanship has been a wonderful experience for me, and in the spirit of all the final exams that most students are taking at this time of year, I thought I would spend my last column expounding upon some of what I have learned in my year as Chair. First of all, my experiences at many levels of the MBA confirmed for me what a great staff we have at the association. Those of you who have served on various MBA boards and committees already know this. From top to bottom, the MBA employs people who understand the banking industry and who are dedicated to its mission of serving Missouri banks and thrifts. Our President, Max Cook, is highly regarded among his peers and I believe is one of the top executives of state banking trade organizations in the country. We are fortunate to have him and are well served by his experience and expertise. Second, my appreciation of the value of MBA membership to Missouri banks was only strengthened over the course of the year.

This past week alone I spoke at the MBA’s Operations Compliance Workshop, where roughly 170 bankers were able to learn about both the basics and the recent changes to a host of state and federal operational issues. At a time when the industry is being subjected to an unprecedented number of new and revised laws, regulations and guidelines, I frankly don’t know how a Missouri bank or thrift survives without the education, training and products provided by the MBA. Add to that the benefits of the association’s state lobbying efforts, and it becomes clear that from a cost-benefit analysis, MBA membership is a great value. Next, I learned last summer how important it is that we maintain solidarity in the industry. I have previously written about how much our entire industry suffered at the federal level when ICBA broke away from the ABA and other industry groups to play their own lobbying game as the Dodd-Frank bill was being debated. We are very fortunate that MBA and MIBA have

maintained a very good working relationship, and our success at the state capital is reflective of that. It will serve all of us to continue that relationship in the future. On a related matter, I learned how consequential elections can be. Again, I have previously written how the banking industry has suffered in the past several years from a “political risk” that we had perhaps not taken seriously enough. We as an industry, and all of us as individuals, need to increase our vigilance over the political process lest our community bank brethren become legislated and regulated out of existence. This has been especially true over the past several years at the federal level, in direct contrast to our recurring legislative successes in Jefferson City. May we strive to replicate among our Congressional delegation the same appreciation of the importance of a healthy banking industry as that held by our state legislators. I also learned how well Legends Bank can run without me, although I’m

not sure that is a good thing in terms of my job security. In any event, I am certainly grateful to my entire staff at the bank for all the extra work they have done as I was away on MBA business. I have a feeling I may need to repay that kindness as they take their turns in helping the association in fulfilling its mission. By the way, I should mention that I also learned how great it is to attend the MBA’s Winter Senior Bank Management Conference - especially when it takes place in Aruba – in January. Finally, I realized how much of a privilege it is to serve in a leadership position with the MBA. I have had the opportunity to travel the state, meeting with and learning from Missouri bankers from institutions large and small. Lisa and I have developed friendships we hope to maintain for the rest of our lives. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Chair this past year. I hope to see many of you in Branson in just a couple of days as we celebrate the MBA’s 121st annual convention.

As I mentioned in our last MBA Daily Update, MBA is in the midst of making some significant changes in our overall communications. You will begin to see the beginning of these changes starting in June, but they will be ongoing and fluid over the summer months.The Missouri Banker Our Association newspa-per, The Missouri Banker, will be switching to a once-a-month paper from its current 18 issues a year. We’re doing this for several reasons: Financial – Increasing publishing and postage costs Member preferences – Several surveys we’ve done over the past year indicate most bankers like the idea of one paper per month Our goal is that the once-a-month issue will be big-ger with a wider variety of stories.E-Newsletters To make up for the fewer paper issues, we are looking at changing our e-newslet-ters. Again, initial plans call

Changes are coming!

for a Tuesday Update in addi-tion to our regular Thursday Update. This will allow us to get more information to more bankers quickly and inexpen-sively. Just how this will all play out combined with our other e-newsletters is still in the discussion phase. We’ll delve into that in more depth after the MBA Convention.Student study MBA recently worked with a group of Missouri University students who were majoring in Journalism and Public Relations. They did a two-month review of MBA’s various communica-tions pieces and gave us an extensive follow-up. Among the areas they focused on were:• The Missouri Banker

newspaper• MBA website• E-newsletters• Social Media• Branding While this was a quick overview, it gives us a base on which to pursue some areas of change that will be our focus over the summer months. In the months ahead… Watch for: Changes in the newspaper

A new and improved website Changes in the e-newsletters we send out. We want all of our com-munications to be user-friendly and provide you with information that will both entertain and inform you in our quest to make the MBA your one-stop shop for everything dealing with Mis-souri banking. Watch for our changes and give us your comments as we start down this new road together.

Recently, we heard that lenders and others have been having a hard time finding the HUD Home Serial Numbers on manufactured homes. Here are a number

of places where the Serial Number can be found:1. Front cross member on

the left side (location required by HUD and preferred location to find the Serial Number). It is a violation of the federal HUD Standard to remove this front cross member.

2. Data plate inside home will list manufacturer, Serial Number and other data that is home specific

a. Inside cabinet door under kitchen sink

b. Inside one of the other kitchen cabinet doors

c. Inside one of the bedroom closets on the inside of the closet door or on the closet wall

d. Utility room – inside

or next to the electric panel box

3. If the Serial Number cannot be found after #1 or #2 and if the HUD labels are still on the home (located on the rear non-hitch end of the home), you should be able to provide the HUD label numbers to HUD and they can determine the Serial Number. (Note: There may be a charge for these requests but it is minimal and 99 percent successful)

4. If the home was ever titled in Missouri, should be able to obtain the Serial Number from the Department of Revenue using the previous owner’s name.

In MemoriamFrank Wiles Frank Wiles, former chairman of Community Bank of the Ozarks, Pleasant Hope, died May 23. Services are scheduled for 11 a.m. May 27 at Lohmeyer Funeral Home, 500 W. Walnut, Springfield. Mr. Wiles retired from banking about a year ago. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to Ann Wiles, PO Box 145, Pleasant Hope, MO 65725.


Washington Update

By Frank KeatingPresident and CEOAmerican Bankers Association When it comes to industry advocacy in Washington, D.C., or in Jefferson City, one of the worst things to be personally told by a lawmaker or a policymaker is, “I didn’t hear from any bankers on that.” We want to make sure that cannot happen. Ever. Effective political advocacy means organization and relationships. It’s about getting to know the members of your congressional delegation and keeping them informed about industry issues, key legislation and important votes. This is why we developed the ABA Bank Advocates Program. This new grassroots program supplements our successful Direct Contact Bankers program, which is made up of bank CEOs, presidents and chairmen who have built relationships with their members of Congress. We want to continue to increase our reach by providing bank employees and directors with the tools and resources to effectively represent our industry. We’re encouraging all employees and directors who are willing to advocate on behalf of banking to sign up for the program. When it comes to political clout, there is strength in numbers. Together, we can play a key role in effectively communicating the industry’s position on critical issues to elected officials and regulators with a strong, compelling voice. We’ve proven that through the more than 160,000 e-mails and letters bankers have sent to Congress on the debit card interchange issue through ABA and the state bankers associations. And that’s just this spring. Elected officials and regulators need to know where our industry stands. They should expect to hear from bankers on hot-button issues. Every bank employee should know the important role their bank plays in the economic life of their community. This unique perspective can become a valuable and trusted asset for policymakers whose decisions affect their constituents – and your bank’s customers.

Our direction is to move forward – to be on offense. While not all lawmakers or policymakers will always agree with our industry’s positions, we will be respectful and factual, but unrelenting in our political advocacy.

I’m counting on all of you to join us to help make that happen.

The pending Dodd-Frank Act-mandated mortgage-lending rules are more apt to hit the mortgage and servicing businesses like a tsunami than a simple wave, Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh

told the Financial Services Roundtable’s Housing Policy Council last week. There are many good ideas in Dodd-Frank, but there are so many new requirements coming at once that they could hurt the

fragile mortgage industry, Walsh said. He likened the regulations’ possible cumulative effect to that of a harmful drug reaction caused by taking pills for different maladies. “[O]ne regulation may strengthen the quality of capital; another might fix

problems with the servicing process; and yet another may ensure that compensation policies don’t encourage banks to take excessive risks. All of those goals are worthy, but it is hard to predict how they may all work together,” Walsh said. “We don’t yet know

how the new treatment of mortgage servicing rights will affect the price and availability of mortgage credit,” he said. “The same holds true for the risk-retention rules and other changes. It’s possible that the total effect may be more than the sum of the parts.”

Paid Advertisement Banks earned $29 Billion in First Quarter Deposit Insurance Fund balance nears positive territory Commercial banks and savings institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reported an aggregate profit of $29 billion in the first quarter of 2011, an $11.6 billion improvement (66.5 percent) from the $17.4 billion in net income the industry reported in the first quarter of 2010. This is the seventh consecutive quarter that earnings registered a year-over-year increase. For the sixth consecutive quarter, reduced provisions for loan losses drove the improvement in earnings. More than half of all institutions (56 percent) reported better quarterly net income from a year ago, and only 15 percent had a net loss for the quarter. The average return on assets (ROA), a basic yardstick of profitability, rose to 0.87 percent from 0.53 percent a year ago. First-quarter loss provisions totaled $20.7 billion, less than half the $51.6 billion that insured institutions set aside a year ago. However, some of the benefits from lower provisions were offset by reduced revenues. Net operating revenue (net interest income plus total noninterest income) was $5.5 billion (3.2 percent) lower than a year earlier, and realized gains on securities fell by $1.7 billion. Financial results for the first quarter are contained in the FDIC’s latest Quarterly Banking Profile, which was released today. Also among the findings: Quarterly net income rose to a three-year high. Net income was the best for the industry since the $36.8 billion earned in the second quarter of 2007. Loan balances continued to decline. Total loans and leases fell for the tenth time in the past eleven quarters (the one exception in first quarter of 2010 resulted from changes in reporting rules, not from actual loan growth). More than 70 percent of all insured institutions reported declines in loan balances in the first quarter. The number of institutions on the “Problem List” flattened. The net increase of four, to 888, is the smallest in three-and-a-half years. The number of “problem” institutions is the highest since March 31, 1993, when there were 928. Total assets of “problem” institutions increased from $390 billion to $397 billion. Twenty-six insured institutions failed during the first quarter, the smallest number in the last seven quarters. The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance neared positive territory. The DIF balance — the net worth of the fund — rose from negative $7.4 billion to negative $1.0 billion during the first quarter. Assessment income and continued improvement in the outlook for anticipated bank failures were primarily responsible for the growth in the fund balance. The contingent loss reserve, which covers the cost of expected failures, fell from $17.7 billion at year-end 2010 to $13.8 billion at March 31, the lowest reserve since the third quarter of 2008. “Barring unforeseen circumstances, the reported DIF balance at June 30 should turn positive, after seven quarters in the red,” said Chairman Sheila Bair. The complete Quarterly Banking Profile is available at http://www2.fdic.gov/qbp on the FDIC Web site.
