Banking Appeals
Because disagreements can arise from bank examinations, OCC offers the Bank Appeals Process to provide an independent avenue for appealing certain supervisory actions. We encourage your bank to first attempt to resolve disagreements through informal discussions with your immediate supervisory office or the Banking ombudsman.
You may seek review of matters that qualify for appeal by submitting a written description of the matter(s) under dispute to either the OCC ombudsman or your immediate supervisory office. Your president or chief executive office must submit the appeal and indicate your board's approval of the action.
