OCC soliciting input on proposed trust in banking survey

OCC

The Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced a request for information Friday to implement an annual survey aimed at tracking public trust in banking and bank supervision.

The survey’s goal would be to understand, measure, and track public trust in banking and oversight of the industry by the OCC and other regulators. The request for information is seeking voluntary input from interested members of the public regarding the proposed survey, including:

  • Financial industry participants;
  • Government agencies;
  • Academic and research organizations;
  • Consumer advocacy and financial education organizations;
  • Trade associations; and
  • Financial services customers.

The OCC said in a press release it would intend to publish the results of the survey in a report, which could be used to “inform policymakers, bankers, and researchers about the trends and drivers of public trust in banking and bank supervision,” the agency said.
