I appreciate the focus on helping regional banks specifically. Often, the advice out there is geared towards larger institutions and doesn’t address the specific constraints and opportunities that regional banks face. I think exploring strategies like M&A to achieve operational scale and offset regulatory compliance costs is critical for these banks.
