The California Public Banking Alliance (CPBA) made history with the passage of the California Public Banking Act (AB 857). Two years later, our all-volunteer team and allies pushed forward again, securing the passage of the California Public Banking Option Act (AB 1177) to bring universal free banking services to all.
Now, we’re focused on turning these victories into reality. We’re working to establish socially and environmentally responsible public banks across California and ensure the CalAccount program delivers free banking services to every resident. Our volunteer-led team is also laying the groundwork for a State Public Bank campaign that will build financial power at the scale California needs, especially in the face of a hostile federal administration!
Join our statewide team of public banking advocates and take an active role in making this vision a reality! Be part of our trailblazing work to open the doors to public banks and expand financial access for all Californians.
