Press Releases: Banking:
Regulatory Order Release

Summary

The ongoing impact from the recession, combined with increased regulatory oversight, has resulted in a recent wave of regulatory orders for community banks. Unfortunately, the outlook is for many more enforcement actions in the coming months.

MarshComm has assisted nearly a dozen banks in communicating enforcement actions. We have developed an approach that places the bank’s efforts in the context of an overall strategic plan to improve the safety and soundness of the bank. This opens the door to talking about the enforcement in positive terms, such as the bank having already made significant progress on many of the areas laid out in the agreement, and the relationship with the bank’s regulators being a partnership to ensure that the bank improves its safety, soundness and ability to succeed over the long term.

Our proven process provides a clear-cut difference for our clients, especially in terms of treatment in the press, as compared to many banks that did not strategically and proactively communicate with the media and stakeholders.
