How can I find information on a national bank or federal savings association?

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) makes the following bank records and corporate filings available to the public:

Some merger applications and securities filings are available in the FOIA Reading Room on the OCC's website. Enforcement actions and Community Reinvestment Act performance evaluations are also available on the OCC's website.

To obtain records that are not available online, you should file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request through the OCC's FOIA Portal. The portal also contains information concerning fees for FOIA requests.

The OCC generally does not maintain bank customer records, such as

  • loan papers,
  • account statements,
  • promissory notes, or
  • signature cards.

You must contact the bank directly for these records.
