The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found that all nine largest national banks maintained policies from 2020 to 2025 that potentially restricted access to banking services based on political, religious, or lawful business activities, including for crypto businesses. The OCC is considering further regulatory changes to address these issues and has already removed reputational risk from its bank examination criteria.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a changing regulatory environment as the OCC clamps down on banks denying services based on politics or business type, especially in crypto. Start preparing compliance measures now to safeguard banking access before new rules hit.
