Quote of the Week
“We are seeing a great deal of interest from fintech companies that want to learn more about doing business and collaborating with banks....Early in this process, our regulatory instinct has been to say no and to be too risk averse. In the last two years, we’ve worked very hard to take a more open approach.”
- OCC Comptroller, Tom Curry
