New Tripoli Bank is mentoring a team of Kutztown University students participating in the 2019 Conference of State Banking Supervisors Community Bank Case Study Competition.

Sasha-Lee Hayward, Melissa Jenkings, Wesley May and Zachary McGowan will be working with bank CEO and President Dave Hunsicker and Executive Vice President John Hayes to evaluate how New Tripoli Bank has been impacted by the 2018 Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act.

The students visited New Tripoli Bank on April 1 to discuss the financial performance of the bank, impact of regulatory compliance on the bank, and other areas where the 2018 Act has had an effect.

This annual competition is open to all undergraduate students in all fields of study as an opportunity to gain valuable firsthand knowledge of the banking industry.

These teams compete for academic scholarships, a chance to get their work published in an academic journal and an opportunity to attend the seventh annual Federal Reserve Community Banking Conference in St. Louis, Mo. in October.
