WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today announced actions to eliminate politicized or unlawful debanking in the federal banking system. “The OCC is taking steps to end the weaponization of the financial system,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould. The OCC also updated its online customer complaint website to assist consumer reporting and agency identification of any unlawful debanking by its regulated institutions. The OCC is reviewing its consumer complaint data and data from other government and third-party sources to further refine OCC examination efforts. The OCC also encourages its regulated institutions to ensure their policies and procedures align with EO 14331 to avoid unlawful debanking.
