  • 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.

What Does Debanking Even Mean Anymore?
Q: Have we learned anything? Have we taken any way or changed anything?
Mikula says some banks have taken concrete steps after Synapse, but he continues to hear of partner banks with records they could not reconcile. He also warns that some newer fintech and stablecoin businesses may not have learned lessons about third-party risk, compliance and recordkeeping.
What Does Debanking Even Mean Anymore?
Q: What do you think this report established by the OCC, this latest one, and what does it leave unanswered?
Mikula says the report's anecdotes, lack of quantitative data and lack of examples demonstrating viewpoint discrimination do not support the OCC leadership's claim of irrefutable evidence of debanking.
Congress May Flip. What Actually Changes for Banks?
Q: If Democrats take the House while Republicans keep the Senate, how does that impact banks?
Ed Yingling expects Democratic House members to pass political message bills that are unlikely to become law and to focus instead on investigations. He notes that Senate dynamics may not reliably favor the president. The guests also discuss possible committee leadership and scrutiny of the CFPB, crypto, AI and bank regulators.
Congress May Flip. What Actually Changes for Banks?
Q: What have past election cycles taught you about what bankers should be paying attention to in a midterm election?
Cam Fine says midterms have become more consequential as Congress has grown more ideological, giving a chamber controlled by the opposition power to pressure regulators. He advises bankers to engage quickly with the incoming Congress. Ed Yingling says the current election may have limited short-term impact because there is no major pending banking legislation or crisis.
How Citi Is Putting AI to Work
Q: What are the biggest opportunities for AI to be a force for good when it comes to protecting the financial system from money laundering?
McIntosh says AI can connect data across systems, automate alert investigation and reduce false positives, allowing compliance staff to focus on consequential cases and helping move financial crime oversight toward outcomes.
