Bank Enforcement Actions
Public regulatory enforcement actions against US banks and individuals issued by the OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve, and the Office of Thrift Supervision (legacy), plus agreements and orders that public companies disclosed in SEC Form 8-K filings. Coverage is strongest for OCC / OTS actions from 1989–2011; current-year actions reflect publicly-disclosed bulletins from each regulator.
What the order types mean: consent order, cease and desist order and civil money penalty.

Coverage note: occ_ots reflects the legacy OCC + OTS enforcement database (1989–2011); current-year coverage from FDIC, OCC, and FRB reflects publicly-released bulletins and is therefore lighter. sec_8k rows are agreements and orders that public companies disclosed in SEC Form 8-K filings. For full current actions, see the originating agency's enforcement website.
