News reports of data breaches have consumers wondering about the safety of their information. While most of these breaches have not occurred at banks, they have affected our customers. No industry has a higher standard of protection than the banking industry. That is why ABA supports national legislation that will bring non-bank entities up to bank-like security standards.
