Banking Exchange

Banking Exchange has covered community and regional banks since the 1930s under various names, and its newsletter keeps that focus: the mid-size and small banks that don't get much attention from the national financial press but make up a large share of American banking. Compliance, lending strategy, and core-technology coverage dominate.

It's a trade publication in the old-school sense, practical and a little dry, written for bankers rather than about them for outsiders. If you work at or sell to a community bank, it's more directly useful than the big national banking headlines.
