Enforcement Actions

The OCC may take enforcement actions for violations of laws, rules or regulations, final orders or conditions imposed in writing; unsafe or unsound practices; and for breach of fiduciary duty by institution-affiliated parties (IAPs).

We are authorized to take enforcement actions against:

  • National banks
  • Federally chartered savings associations and their subsidiaries
  • Federal branches and agencies of foreign banks
  • IAPs, including officers, directors, employees, controlling stockholders, agents, and certain other individuals

The Enforcement group serves as the OCC's counsel for formal investigations and enforcement actions.
