OCC Announces Enforcement Actions for July 2026

WASHINGTON-The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released enforcement actions for July 2026.

The OCC uses enforcement actions against banks to require the board of directors and management to take timely actions to correct the deficient practices or violations identified. Actions taken against banks are:

  • Cease and Desist Order against United Texas Bank, Dallas, Texas, for deficiencies in its Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) compliance program, which resulted in violations of law or regulation and the bank consenting to the issuance of an August 2024 order with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and the Texas Department of Banking. The bank consented to the issuance of this order as part of its conversion to a national bank supervised by the OCC (OCC Corporate Decision 1375). (Docket No. AA-ENF-2026-29)

The OCC uses enforcement actions against an institution-affiliated party (IAP) to deter, encourage correction of, or prevent violations, unsafe or unsound practices, or breaches of fiduciary duty. Enforcement actions against IAPs reinforce the accountability of individuals for their conduct regarding the affairs of a bank. The term "institution-affiliated party," or IAP, is defined in 12 USC 1813(u) and includes bank directors, officers, employees, and controlling shareholders. Orders of Prohibition prohibit an individual from any participation in the affairs of a bank or other institution as defined in 12 USC 1818(e)(7). The OCC has taken the following actions against IAPs:

  • Order of Prohibition against Ezekiel Dorsey, former Lead Associate for Operations at the Edgewood Atlanta, Georgia, branch JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Columbus, Ohio, for stealing approximately $120,000 from the bank while servicing automated teller machines. (Docket No. AA-ENF-2026-28)

The OCC terminates enforcement actions when a bank has demonstrated compliance with all articles of an enforcement action; or when the OCC determines that articles deemed "not in compliance" have become outdated or irrelevant to the bank's current circumstances; or when the OCC incorporates the articles deemed "not in compliance" into a new action. The termination actions are:
