Washington, D.C. (July 10, 2025)—Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey issued the following statement on the Senate confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nomination of Jonathan Gould to serve as comptroller of the currency.
“ICBA and the nation’s community banks congratulate Jonathan Gould on his Senate confirmation to serve as comptroller of the currency.
“The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency serves a critical role in ensuring a safe and sound national banking system that serves local communities and the nation’s economy. ICBA continues to encourage policymakers in Washington to address excessive regulatory burdens on community banks, ensure a level regulatory playing field between banks and nonbank entities to support a secure environment for consumers and the financial system, and preserve the independence of our dual banking system.
“We look forward to working closely with Gould, the Trump administration, and the 119th Congress to continue advancing the critical policy reforms outlined in our ‘Repair, Reform, and Thrive’ plan for the new Congress and administration as well as our open letter to the 119th Congress.”
