The American Access to Banking Act aims to streamline the process for new financial institutions to become regulated.
The American Access to Banking Act directs federal banking and credit union agencies to promote the formation of new financial institutions by reviewing application processes, examining capital raising methods, and establishing outreach programs. Agencies must consult with state regulators, provide caseworkers for applicants, and create mentor-protégé partnerships. They are also required to submit plans and reports to Congress and the public, and to engage with stakeholders to support the creation of new institutions, including those in rural areas and minority communities.
