The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency plays a central role in the supervision of national banks and, under Gould's leadership, could provide new impetus in the regulation of technology and innovation in finance. The confirmation of the new OCC head is a significant step toward stabilizing and modernizing financial regulation in the United States, particularly in light of the challenges and opportunities presented by digital transformation.
