OCC Losing Support for Its Fintech Charter

Recent comment letters in response to the OCC's fintech charter show increased criticism for the agency's proposal; consumer protection groups, community banks and state regulators have all voiced opposition while supporters have been disappointed by the process for the charter; supporters are concerned that financial inclusion plans and other provisions for the charter might be overly burdensome; consumer protection provisions are also a point of emphasis with groups suggesting specific consumer protection measures such as interest rate caps, default rate limitations and underwriting standards; lack of details on a number of business factors including capital requirements and balance sheet versus off balance sheet funding have also reduced confidence in the charter.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors is Suing the OCC in Opposition to its Fintech Charter

Opposition to the OCC's fintech charter continues with a new lawsuit filed by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors which says the OCC does not have the legal authority to issue the fintech charter that it has proposed; the lawsuit says the OCC will need "specific congressional approval" for the charter and that nondepository companies are not considered to be engaged in the business of banking; preemption of state consumer protection laws has evoked strong opposition to the OCC's fintech charter and the lawsuit by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors is the first court action taken by an opposing party; the OCC's financial inclusion provisions, lack of clarity on state mandated requirements such as interest rate caps, default rate limitations and underwriting standards, and lack of detail on business factors including capital requirements and other balance sheet measures have caused decreasing support for the charter overall.

Thomas Curry Discusses Fintech Charter at LendIt USA

Thomas Curry spoke on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's fintech charter at LendIt USA; Curry primarily refuted arguments against the OCC's authority for establishing a fintech charter; Curry sited the National Bank Act stating, "To be clear, the National Bank Act does give the OCC the legal authority to grant national bank charters to companies engaged in the business of banking."; the banking charter would encompass all fintech companies engaging in banking activities regardless of whether or not they take banking deposits; the OCC is still evaluating the provisions of the fintech charter following its December 2016 white paper and comment period which ended in January 2017.  Source
