"
Regulators now in fact micromanage the daily activities of community banks and every decision made at the bank has the air of "How will the regulators view this decision"? My experience is right in line with the information in your article, being at a bank that is regulated by the OCC, and coming from a bank that was essentially "regulated" by the FDIC into being sold to a large regional bank.
Thank you for bringing this information to light, it is appreciated.
