Summary
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has established a newDigitalizationpage on its website-www.occ.gov-dedicated to resources to help community banks1 meet their digitalization objectives.
Note for Community Banks
This bulletin applies to community banks.
Highlights
Digitalization is the use of technology to change a business model, provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities, or automate business processes. New and emerging technologies are important tools for community banks to meet customer demand, increase revenue, improve efficiencies, and remain competitive.
The OCC recognizes that community banks may face key challenges when implementing a digitalization strategy. The new page highlights relevant OCC rules, statements, and guidance that community banks can reference when pursuing their digitalization efforts. The OCC plans to maintain the page by keeping it up to date as new resources become available.
The OCC is technology-neutral and does not endorse any particular digitalization strategy.
