HOUSTON — Financial freedom and the role of banking institutions were key topics at the 2026 NRA Convention, where industry leaders and attendees focused on trust, values and consumer choice.
In an interview at the event, Eric Ohlhausen, chief strategy officer of Old Glory Bank, discussed how the institution is positioning itself as Americans pay closer attention to where they bank and how financial institutions operate.
The conversation highlighted a growing trend: consumers increasingly tying financial decisions to personal values.
Ohlhausen emphasized that the discussion goes beyond traditional banking services, pointing instead to trust, transparency and long-term alignment with customers.
As economic pressures and political divisions continue to shape consumer behavior, interest in alternative banking options has grown. That shift was evident throughout the convention, where attendees expressed a desire for institutions that reflect their priorities.
The interview also addressed a broader question facing the financial sector: whether Americans have meaningful choices when selecting institutions aligned with their beliefs.
Old Glory Bank’s approach appears focused on meeting that demand, positioning itself within a changing financial landscape.
The full interview with Ohlhausen is available below.
