OCC Announces Enforcement Actions for January 2026 — 2026-01-16

WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released enforcement actions for January 2026. The OCC uses enforcement actions against an institution-affiliated party (IAP) to deter, encourage correction of, or prevent violations, unsafe or unsound practices, or breaches of fiduciary duty. Enforcement actions against IAPs reinforce the accountability of individuals for their conduct regarding the affairs of a bank.
