ICBA told the OCC it strongly opposes Circle’s application for a national trust bank charter for its proposed subsidiary, First National Currency Bank N.A. ICBA said granting the charter would undermine the stability of the financial system by allowing a non-traditional institution to offer deposit-like services without adequate regulatory oversight. ICBA also said the OCC should reject FNDCB’s application to prevent the risks posed by stablecoins, including potential deposit drainage, increased fraud, and circumvention of critical banking regulations.
