  • Informative but too political

    They do a good job keeping me up to date with current issues in the industry, but I don’t need to have the host’s political views pushed on me with snide comments & blatant bias every show.

  • Good info but too obviously political

    This could be a really great show with the wealth of knowledge and experience John has. However he can’t seem to separate himself from his obviously leftist ideologies and interject passive aggressive comments towards the other political party or opposing thoughts. I’m hear to learn about AML and better my knowledge, I don’t need your beliefs or agenda being pushed. Keep those to yourself. Real shame.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Fintechs Are Turning to OCC Limited Purpose Trust Charters
Q: Could these charters expand to new activities beyond fiduciary custody and asset management?
Yes, there is discussion of expanding to new activities; applicants may seek regulator approval for unenumerated powers within the charter, driving ongoing evolution in the regulatory framework.
Why Fintechs Are Turning to OCC Limited Purpose Trust Charters
Q: What governance and compliance changes should fintechs anticipate after obtaining a charter?
Fintechs will face heightened exams, stricter issue management cycles, and formal governance expectations like independent boards, three lines of defense, and robust risk appetite and escalation processes.
Why Fintechs Are Turning to OCC Limited Purpose Trust Charters
Q: What differentiates limited trust charters from full-service charters in terms of capabilities?
Limited trust charters focus on custody, asset services, and digital assets without deposit-taking or loan origination, while full-service charters operate more like traditional banks with broader authority.
Why Fintechs Are Turning to OCC Limited Purpose Trust Charters
Q: What's behind the surge in OCC Limited Purpose Charters for fintechs?
The surge is driven by a regulatory environment that is encouraging AML/compliance maturation, a faster and clearer path through a single regulator, and charter flexibility that supports innovation without full banking scope.
Unpacking the AML/CFT Program Rule: Key Changes and Industry Implications
Q: But like you said, you should be focusing on higher risk issues anyway, but what does that mean for overall risk? Or is it all based on how the risk assessment categorizes everything?
The emphasis is on tying the program to your internal risk assessment; if your risk assessment is accurate and your implementation follows it, you should be in good standing, and enforcement actions should be limited to cases of significant or systemic failure in implementation.
