The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is a U.S. government regulator in the banking sector that charters, regulates, and supervises national banks and federal savings associations, as well as the federal branches and agencies of foreign banks. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it conducts on-site examinations through a nationwide cadre of bank examiners to ensure institutions operate in a safe and sound manner and comply with laws governing fair treatment of customers and fair access to credit. As an independent bureau of the U.S. Treasury, the OCC is led by a Comptroller appointed by the President with the Senate's advice and consent for a five-year term, and the Comptroller also serves as a director of the FDIC and NeighborWorks America. Its jurisdiction covers national banks, federal savings associations, and the international activities of foreign banks, with four district offices supporting oversight. In June 2026, the agency appointed Benjamin Eddy as Senior Deputy Comptroller for Regional and Midsize Financial Institutions.
