The Liberia Bankers Association (LBA) is a legally recognized organization dedicated to fostering financial sector development in Liberia. Membership is open to all commercial banks operating within the Republic of Liberia. The LBA aims to serve its members by enhancing their role as financial service providers. This is achieved through advocacy from both legislative and regulatory perspectives, public awareness and education, research, and the promotion of financial products.

The Association is governed by its By-laws and Constitution. The management of the Association is vested in the Secretariat, under the supervision of the Executive Committee. The LBA plays a pivotal role as a stakeholder in supporting the Government of Liberia in the implementation of monetary policies.

In furtherance of its objectives, the LBA established the Liberia Bankers Association Secretariat, which is responsible for the daily operational activities of the Association. The Secretariat is headed by Mrs. Doreen McIntosh, a former bank executive. Its establishment has provided a physical presence for the Association, located on the 3rd floor of the Luke Building, at the intersection of Broad and Johnson Streets, Monrovia.

The Secretariat oversees all administrative matters of the LBA, including the dissemination of information and correspondence to and from the Central Bank of Liberia and various government agencies. It also coordinates interactions with the West African Bankers Association (WABA) and other regional or supranational associations, and maintains the Association’s library, files, and records.

The Association is led by its President, Mr. Olalekan Balogun, Managing Director of BLOOM BANK. His functions are carried out through standing committees, under the supervision of the Secretariat.
