American Bankers Association (ABA)

The trade association for the banking industry.

$4.2 million

given directly to sitting members of Congress, across their careers on file. Direct PAC contributions are capped by law and reported by name.

396

current members received at least one contribution—173 Democrats and 221 Republicans. A contribution is context, not proof of influence: plenty of groups give to members who already agree with them.

None on file

in independent expenditures. This organization gives to campaigns but does not run outside ad spending of its own.

Where these figures come from

Direct contributions are the Commission’s itemized committee-to-candidate records; independent expenditures come from the same filings and are reported separately. This organization files through C00004275—each link opens the Commission’s own page for that committee, so any figure here can be checked at the source. How we count, and what we refuse to claim, is on the methodology page.
