OCC Announces Enforcement Actions for April 2025 — 2025-04-17

WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released enforcement actions taken against individuals currently and formerly affiliated with banks the OCC supervises. 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.
