Title Agency Ownership Program
MBA Title Insurance program is one of the most uniquely successful programs in the country providing over $9.3 million in dividends with an average ROI of 2,100%. Unlike other Title Companies whose service is based on the branch location providing the insurance, the MBA program provides service from one location with insurance coverage anywhere in Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana providing the same consistent, exceptional service. It is the only program available with the bank’s protection being a priority.
The program has been recently enhanced to provide banks with multiple turnkey structural options without the headaches of managing staff and its operations. The MBA does not own any interest in the Agency and provides a structure to fit each bank; multiple-bank owned Agency, single bank-owned Agency, or joint venture.

Great Lakes Capital Fund
Michigan Bankers Association has partnered with Great Lakes Capital Fund to create the Michigan Community Fund (MCF). Historically, financial institutions that didn’t have the means to invest a minimum of $1 million in a multi-investor tax credit had no option to invest in affordable housing. MCF has been created to benefit banks with the MBASC’s goal of "the Power of the Group” by bringing together a number of banks into one fund thus allowing investments as low a $250,000.
This program will enable your bank to reduce your federal tax liability through Low-Income Housing Tax Credit investments. With a superior track record of no foreclosures, a competitive rate of return to the bank through tax credits and losses, and the social and economic impact of investing in Michigan real estate, this fund provides multiple benefits to the Member Banks.

Senior Housing Crime Prevention Program (SHCPF)
Recently endorsed by the Michigan Bankers Association, through its for-profit subsidiary MBA Service Corporation, the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation (SHCPF) is a highly successful conduit for banks to earn risk-free CRA loans and investment credit, while achieving above market yields and helping to resolve a problem that plagues society – the exploitation and abuse of nursing home residents. Loans and investments made by banks enable the SHCPF to provide the nationally acclaimed Senior Crimestoppers program at no cost to low and moderate income senior housing facilities.
