The Oregon Bankers Association, like the general public, is concerned about the growing spread of the coronavirus and the impact it will have around the country and here in Oregon. The OBA is committed to sharing vital information and updates with the banking community and their customers. This Coronavirus Response resource page includes helpful links and information that will be updated regularly.
 
In the immediate term, OBA has canceled all in-person meetings through April, and has implemented appropriate sanitary and safety measures to protect staff.
