Suit Against OCC Fintech Charter Thrown Out

The lawsuit by the New York Department of Financial Services aimed at blocking the OCC Fintech Charter has been thrown out; Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald stated, “Since the OCC has not reached a final ‘fintech charter decision,’ defendants’ … motion is granted as plaintiff has suffered no injury in fact … and because plaintiff’s claims are not ripe.”; it is possible that they could attempt to re-sue once the fintech charter is created.
