ICBA, fintechs push for modernized CSI framework
January 15, 2026 / By ICBA
ICBA and the American Fintech Council encouraged the federal banking agencies to modernize the framework governing confidential supervisory information.
Details: In a joint letter to the FDIC, Federal Reserve, and OCC, ICBA and AFC said:
They fully support the foundational purpose of CSI: preserving candor between supervisors and banks, protecting depositor confidence, and preventing sensitive findings from moving markets.
Some supervisory practices may be out of step with the realities of a partnership-driven banking ecosystem, and tailored sharing of CSI can help bring them into alignment.
The agencies should clarify and align the scope of CSI and enable inclusion of agents and key partners.
