Incoming ABA Chair Talks 2024 and Beyond

Reading Cooperative Bank CEO Julieann Thurlow discusses high rates, fintech and regulation. We also look at commentary from a recent community banking conference.

Happy Monday, Bank Slaters!

I’m at the American Bankers Association’s Annual Convention in Nashville, where Julieann Thurlow, president and CEO of Reading Cooperative Bank in Massachusetts, is set to begin a one-year term as chairman. She made time last week to discuss the operating environment in 2024 and beyond.

The entire interview will be available in audio form for premium subscribers later this week (there’s still time to convert that free sub), including an in-depth conversation on tech solutions and human-centered product design.
