FDIC looks for banker input
FDIC Chairman Jelena McWilliams and newly appointed Chief Innovation Officer Sultan Meghji have asked the banking industry for input related to innovation around four general themes.
- Inclusiveness — How to increase access to banking services for those who want/need those services.
- Resilience — The safety and security of the industry.
- Ability to adapt to change.
- How to protect the future of America’s competitiveness — Making certain that the environment banks operate in, particularly community banks, supports and encourages innovation.
Specific areas that have been mentioned, but are by no means all-inclusive are: chartering, fintech, regulatory reporting, core providers, examinations, cyber protection, education and workforce development. For additional background. here is a link to the FDIC’s FEDTECH website: https://www.fdic.gov/fditech/index.html#what.
Please share your ideas with us by email by Wednesday, Sept. 1 (adrian@oba.com, megan@oba.com). We will compile the input received into a report to share with FDIC.
Chairman McWilliams and her team have stated they committed to innovation and making fundamental changes, but they need your input in order to know where to focus their attention and prioritize their efforts.
Thank you for your participation in this effort!
