BancorpSouth Bank, Tupelo, Receives American Saves Designation of Savings Excellence for Second YearBancorpSouth Inc. announced on Au-gust 4 that the holding company and its banking subsidiary, BancorpSouth Bank, both of Tupelo, have received the America Saves Designation of Savings Excellence for Banks, a des-ignation from America Saves which recognizes banks that go above and beyond to encourage people to save money during America Saves Week. BancorpSouth, along with 14 other bank recipients of the designation, was recognized at the America Saves National Savings Forum and received a Designation of Savings Excellence seal for their website. “This is the second year Bancorp-South has received this prestigious designation,” said Dan Rollins, Ban-corpSouth chairman/CEO. “Our team-mates throughout our 8-state market area again worked hard in conduct-ing saving-related financial education programs and distributing materials.” Recipients were chosen by two se-lection committees, one for banks and another for credit unions. Steve Bartlett of Treliant Risk Advisors chaired the committee of bank lead-ers. “These designations recognize those institutions that have acted af-firmatively on behalf of the long-term interests of their customers and their families,” says Bartlett. “Savings equals long-term security and quality of life.” “For years, banks and credit unions have participated in America Saves Week by offering products and services that encourage individuals to save mon-ey and build wealth,” said Nancy Regis-ter, national director of America Saves. “America Saves launched the America Saves Designation of Savings Excel-lence in 2015 to recognize banks that go above and beyond to promote and sup-port saving during America Saves Week. This year we are proud to recognize and announce the second group of banks that achieved this designation.” In addition to BancorpSouth Bank, the following banks in the Bankers Di-gest coverage area received Designa-tion for Savings Excellence: Broadway Bank, San Antonio, TX; First Arkan-sas Bank & Trust, Jacksonville; First-
Capital Bank of Texas, Midland; and VISION Bank, Ada, OK. America Saves recognized excep-tional banks that succeed in promot-ing savings or other wealth building accounts and have high levels of ac-counts opened or added to during America Saves Week 2016.

Bear State Financial of Little Rock Partners with two FinTech Startups at FinTech Accelerator ProgramBear State Financial Inc. of Little Rock has partnered with two startups — LumoXchange of Atlanta, GA, and Monotto of Charleston, SC — that participated in the first FinTech Accel-erator program hosted by the Venture Center of Little Rock and global tech-nology provider FIS of Jacksonville, FL. The news was reported in an article by Sarah Campbell posted on www.arkan-sasbusiness.com. The announcements were made during a demo day held August 3 at the Clinton Presidential Library. LumoXchange, a low-cost remit-tance marketplace that will allow cus-tomers to compare exchange rates in countries across the world and send money online using local foreign ex-change rates, is looking for a perma-nent location in Little Rock. Shelly Loftin, chief marketing offi-cer for Bear State, said LumoXchange is “revolutionizing” how people send money to their loved ones in other countries. It offers, through a smart-phone app and website, an alterna-tive to using large companies, such as Western Union. The bank will help LumoXchange on the “back end,” and the two will work to-gether to build the network the startup
needs, Loftin said. “It’s not a monetary investment,” she added. “It’s an invest-ment of people and back-end resources of a financial institution, so to speak.” Monotto offers a personal finance solution that automates the process of saving and investing and is designed for college students and millennials. Loftin said Monotto had developed an app that helps people save “auto-matically” and “seemingly in the back-ground.” The startup’s original idea was to sell it directly to consumers, but Bear State helped convince the company to brand their platform for financial institutions and integrate it into those institutions’ existing online and mobile software suites. Loftin described Bear State as Monotto’s “beta bank.” The two will work together to figure out what the platform should look like, what the app should look like, what function-ality it should have and need, and to work it into the set of products Bear State offers to customers. Loftin said that Bear State would be contributing its expertise in mar-keting and financial literacy educa-tion, to the Monotto partnership as both spend money to build the tech-nology Q

CALL REPORTSComments Requested on Streamlined Call ReportThe federal banking agencies, as members of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), are calling for comments on a proposed streamlined Call Report for small financial institutions, according to press release dated August 5 on www.ffie.gov. The proposal from the FDIC, OCC, and Federal Reserve would affect fi-nancial institutions with domestic offices only and less than $1 billion in total assets, which is 90% of insti-tutions required to file Call Reports. The proposal would reduce the Call Report from 85 to 61 pages and result in the removal of about 40% (950) of the data items. Some data items would be elimi-nated and reporting frequency would be reduced for others. Five schedules would be consolidated into a single supplemental schedule for certain complex and specialized activities. “For years, IBAT and its members have been calling for the federal bank-ing regulators to reform Call Report requirements to lessen the regulatory burden on small banks,” remarked IBAT President/CEO Chris Williston said on www.ibat.org. “It is victories like this that give the industry the energy and hope to continue to fight for regu-latory relief.” “ICBA is encouraged that regulators have proposed call report relief for community banks, and we look for-ward to reviewing details of the pro-posal,” ICBA President/CEO Camden R. Fine said on www.icba.org. According to ICBA’s survey, 98% of respondents said a short-form call report would re-duce their regulatory burden, and 72% said the reduction would be “substan-tial.” Q
