MADISON, Wis.,—Bankers’ Bank, has formed an Asset Tokenization Committee, a strategic initiative designed to help community banks navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of digital payments, stablecoins, and deposit tokens. As a payments partner processing nearly $1 trillion annually and operating the largest Fed-connected payments system in Chicago, Bankers’ Bank is uniquely positioned to deliver secure, real-time settlement and funding for its client banks.
Recognizing the accelerating pace of innovation and the impact of new legislation such as the GENIUS Act, Bankers’ Bank’s Executive Management Team and Board of Directors have launched this committee to explore how emerging digital payment technologies—including stablecoins and deposit coins—could shape the future of community banking. The committee brings together experts from Payments & Cash Management, Commercial Banking, Investments, Compliance, and Audit to evaluate tokenization opportunities and operational considerations.
Bankers’ Bank’s technology relevance approach ensures that community banks have access to cutting-edge tools while remaining compliant with emerging regulatory guidance. The bank is actively collaborating with core providers, fintech companies, and industry associations to build a future-ready payments ecosystem that keeps its customers relevant and competitive.
Since its inception, Bankers’ Bank has been a leader in payments innovation. The organization maintains dedicated internal workgroups focused on understanding and meeting the needs of community banks. Recent activities include meetings with several fintech companies, core processors, and participation in industry presentations, further demonstrating its commitment to staying at the forefront of digital asset developments.
Bankers’ Bank has been selected as a custodian for a customer bank electing to issue a stablecoin, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in the digital asset space.
As federal agencies work to implement the GENIUS Act’s regulatory framework over the next 18 months, Bankers’ Bank will continue to provide regular updates and guidance to its client banks, ensuring they are informed and prepared for the future of payments.
“At Bankers’ Bank, we believe that innovation and security go hand-in-hand as we help community banks navigate the future of digital payments. Our commitment to exploring stablecoin and deposit token technologies reflects our dedication to providing our clients with the tools and guidance they need to thrive in a rapidly changing financial landscape. By forming our Asset Tokenization Committee, we’re ensuring that community banks remain at the forefront of payments innovation—ready for tomorrow’s opportunities and challenges.” said Brad Stamper CEO, Bankers’ Bank.
