Our Story

Compliance Pathways provides a roadmap of plain language solutions to the regulatory compliance burden that is overwhelming community banking. The program was developed with the assistance of focus groups of both compliance managers and executives from community banks of various sizes and compositions. Our purpose is to find ways to smooth out the “bumps in the road” created by an increasingly complex regulatory scheme.
