Since 1905, the Oregon Bankers Association has served state and national commercial banks, extra-national banks, and savings banks chartered to do banking business in Oregon. Banking-oriented businesses and non-Oregon banks may also participate as Associate Members of the Oregon Bankers Association.
The Oregon banking industry is one of the most competitive and dynamic banking systems in America. Geographical limitations on branching and interstate banking have been removed at the request of the industry itself. The dual-chartered system of banking, involving both state and national charters, is well utilized in the Oregon banking industry. It promotes a strong, competitive banking system designed to maximize service to Oregonians.
