  • Predictable lobbying by Utah banker's association. Most glaring is the lack of understanding of federal taxation (credit unions) and Utah (taxs for education). Mr. Blackwell should have questioned many of the hyperbolic statements of the lobbyist.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why the Fight Over Preemption is Red Hot Again
Q: What would proper tailoring look like for community banks to stay competitive while maintaining safety and soundness?
Tailoring should be based on size, complexity, and risk profile, with regulation that reduces unnecessary costs while preserving core safety requirements, ensuring a level playing field with non-banks, and maintaining consumer protections.
Why the Fight Over Preemption is Red Hot Again
Q: Where do you see the current flashpoints of preemption between the OCC and state regulators?
The key flashpoints are chartering authority, trust charters for digital assets, and how mortgage escrow and stablecoins are regulated, all of which could shift the balance toward federal supremacy if not kept within Congress's narrowly defined powers.
Will the Administration Require Banks to Collect Citizenship Information?
Q: What happens if we require banks to collect citizenship information from pre-existing customers?
If implemented, banks would have to review all their customers to assess their citizenship status, leading to significant implications for privacy and regulatory compliance.
Will the Administration Require Banks to Collect Citizenship Information?
Q: Can you just tell us more about the order, what's being considered and how far along we are?
The administration is considering an executive order that would require banks to collect citizenship information, which would extend the campaign to identify and deport immigrants living in the US illegally.
How Fifth Third Thinks About Scale and Risk
Q: What are the biggest opportunities and risks for super regional banks?
The biggest opportunities lie in appropriate diversification across services, while the risks largely stem from concentrated business models and navigating regulatory changes.
