A coalition of trade groups urges federal agencies to match private-sector cybersecurity standards.

In a letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the American Bankers Association rebuffed state regulators' calls to rescind the agency's broad state preemption rule, defending federal law's supremacy in the dual banking system.

Months after OceanFirst Financial settled federal redlining allegations, it received the highest possible Community Reinvestment Act rating from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. CEO Christopher Maher said the bank made a "significant effort" to introduce its lending products to markets it had recently entered via acquisition.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors says the OCC's 2011 preemption rules are out of step with Supreme Court rulings and unfairly disadvantage the state banking system.

Julian, the bank's onetime audit chief, recently agreed to settle with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a tiny percentage of the $7 million the agency had been seeking. In an interview, he spoke about the expensive legal fight and who bears responsibility for the bank's fake-accounts scandal.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency says it's still reviewing compromised emails and attachments after hackers gained access to the regulator for over a year and has not ruled out exposure of customer or supervisory data.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency disclosed a significant email system security breach that revealed sensitive data about federally regulated banks. The breach follows a similar incident at the Treasury Department earlier this year.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said it would cease its participation in interagency principles for regulating climate-related risks at the banks it regulates. 

Places to work at the 7 Times Square location "will be available on a daily first-come, first-serve basis," the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency told employees who supervise major U.S. banks.

A new Office of External Relations and Strategic Partnerships will continue the work of helping banks develop affordable credit for consumers lacking a credit score using untraditional methods of determining creditworthiness, the agency's acting head said.
