Comment Period: Request for Information on Bank-Fintech Arrangements Involving Banking Products and Services Distributed to Consumers and Businesses

AGENCY:

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

ACTION:

Request for information and comment.

SUMMARY:

Over the past several years, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Treasury; the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board); and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (collectively, “the agencies” or “agency” when referencing the singular) have observed and reviewed arrangements between banks and financial technology (fintech) companies. The agencies support responsible innovation and banks pursuing bank-fintech arrangements in a manner consistent with safe and sound banking practices, and with applicable laws and regulations, including consumer protection requirements and those addressing financial crimes. Bank-fintech arrangements can provide benefits; however, supervisory experience has highlighted a range of potential risks with these bank-fintech arrangements. This request solicits input on the nature of bank-fintech arrangements, effective risk management practices regarding bank-fintech arrangements, and the implications of such arrangements, including whether enhancements to existing supervisory guidance may be helpful in addressing risks associated with these arrangements.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before September 30, 2024.
