What's new? OCC Bulletin 2025-22

DateTuesday, September 23, 2025 at 6:59PM by AuthorBanking Spectrum

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) published Bulletin 2025-22 on September 8, 2025, clarifying how it considers "politicized or unlawful debanking" when reviewing bank licensing applications and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) performance.

The OCC will now evaluate a bank's record of and policies against this practice as part of its holistic, case-by-case review for licensing filings and CRA ratings.
