OCC Bulletin 2026-27: Filing Decision Process
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued this bulletin to clarify the standards and procedures governing its decisions on bank filings under 12 CFR 5.13. The agency mandates that filings must contain all necessary information to avoid being returned as materially deficient, while approvals may be conditional to ensure safe and sound operations. Furthermore, the OCC plans to publicly disclose all denial decisions to enhance transparency regarding how statutory and regulatory criteria are applied to applicants.
