“We know the Biden administration has said they're expecting a dark winter,” said Christine Channels, the head of community banking and client protection at Bank of America. “There's a lot of positive news around the vaccines — and certainly, we're excited about that — but we know that people need access to more money. We know that small businesses are needing access to this money.”

It includes simpler Paycheck Protection Program forgiveness and a consistent approach from federal regulators to reforming the Community Reinvestment Act, says Bank of America's Christine Channels, who chairs the Consumer Bankers Association's board.
