Goldman’s new CEO is expected to instill more corporate discipline; second quarter earnings jumped nearly 40% compared to a year earlier on higher revenues.

The appointment of David Solomon, who will take over for retiring CEO Lloyd Blankfein, has not altered the bank's aggressive plan to build a mobile phone-based bank for consumers in the U.S. and beyond.

The central bank has encountered criticism for allowing three banks to direct funds to dividends and buybacks even though their capital levels fell below required minimums.

After he takes over as CEO Oct. 1, Solomon has some key executive appointments to make, and observers will keep a close eye on the resources he devotes to help the bank accomplish its target of $5 billion in new revenue opportunities by 2020.

David Solomon is officially named as Blankfein’s successor; the British bank is under pressure from an activist shareholder to boost its stock price.

Succession plan could be formalized this week; bankers may be getting nervous about extending construction loans.

The moves are seen as setting the stage for CEO James Gorman’s eventual retirement; banks outside the U.S. are suffering from the greenback’s recent rise.

LendingClub, Prosper, SoFi and other fintechs are driving the expansion, according to new data from TransUnion, and that could spell bad news for credit unions.

The Senate Banking Committee's top Democrat singled out Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, which he said "got passing grades" despite being unable to maintain minimum required capital levels.

Almost 10 years after the financial crisis, Wall Street was starting to wonder aloud: Might Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley make a big acquisition? Much of that speculation got a reality check on June 28 when both firms scraped through the Federal Reserve's annual stress tests.
