The North Dakota Bankers Association (NDBA) has proudly served North Dakota's banking industry since 1889. NDBA is the professional trade association organized to effectively represent the common interest and welfare of banks in North Dakota and to promote the professional development of its members. It's the mission of the North Dakota Bankers Association to provide "Extraordinary Leadership for North Dakota Banks." NDBA provides specific services that enhance the ability of member banks to operate effectively in providing services to the community. Each year, NDBA sponsors seminars, conferences, banking schools and an annual convention. Our educational programs strive to enhance the ability of its members to meet their needs in this complex and changing financial industry. Nurturing relationships between our member banks and organizations which provide products and services to them is of paramount interest. Consistent with that goal, the NDBA offers an Associate Membership to organizations engaged in the sale of goods and services to North Dakota banks.
