ABA seeks 30-day extension to comment on bank third-party risk guidance

US banking agencies have two third-party risk management proposals open for comment, with a Nov. 16 deadline. The American Bankers Association and three other groups want 30 more days, arguing early member feedback on due diligence and contracting needs fuller analysis. This covers what is on the table and why the industry wants more room before responding.

  • The ABA and three associations requested a 30-day extension to the Nov. 16 comment deadline on two third-party risk management proposals.
  • In September the FDIC, Federal Reserve, OCC and NCUA sought comment on revisions to the interagency third-party risk management guidance.
  • The Federal Reserve separately requested input on proposed third-party risk management guidance for community banks.
  • The joint letter flagged member concerns about effects on due diligence and contracting as warranting further analysis.

Public support for CEO activism on social issues continues to slip, surveys show

A review of two new surveys on corporate and CEO activism, published in ABA Banking Journal, tracks shifting public attitudes toward companies speaking out on social and political issues. For bank leadership and communications teams, the data bears on reputational risk management around public statements.

  • Approximately 55% of Americans believe CEOs should be outspoken on issues, down from 65% in 2018, per Stanford/Hoover research.
  • The Bentley-Gallup survey found the share believing businesses should be more vocal on controversial issues ticked down to 47% in 2026.
  • 76% of Americans said they would be less likely to purchase from a company whose CEO spoke out on a disagreeable issue, up 14 percentage points from 2018.
  • 62% of respondents could name a product or service they use less because of disagreement with a CEO's public stance, versus 40% who use one more for that reason.
  • Issues with lowest public support for business statements were religion (16%), abortion (22%), political endorsements (23%) and international conflicts (33%).

ABA podcast: how bankers can proactively manage core technology providers

The ABA Banking Journal Podcast features Steve Lewis, president and CEO of Thomaston Savings Bank and a member of ABA's Core Platforms Committee, on managing relationships with core technology providers. For compliance and operations leaders responsible for vendor oversight, it is a short, practical account of where a bank retains leverage even against a provider with significant market power.

  • Steve Lewis recommends that bankers review and reconcile bills from their core providers.
  • He advises monitoring for service-level agreements with the core provider.
  • He recommends meeting regularly at executive level with the core provider to understand its strategic roadmap and how it corresponds to the bank's own roadmap.
  • Lewis says technology is not the strategy and that banks should define what they want to deliver to clients before integrating the technology to do it.

ABA asks Treasury to soften trustee liability in Trump account rules

Treasury's August proposal sets eligibility limits for the new child retirement accounts created by last year's tax package. The American Bankers Association has written back with four specific drafting changes aimed at trustees who administer these accounts, covering retroactive status loss, monitoring burden, liquidation liability and successor transfers.

  • Treasury proposed regulations in August limiting Trump account investments to low expense ratio products without excessive fees or unnecessarily complex strategies.
  • ABA recommended preserving Trump account and IRA status when a trustee disposes of a disqualified investment and reinvests proceeds within 30 calendar days.
  • The proposal requires trustees to monitor eligible investments at least once every 12 months; ABA wants funds expressly approved by Treasury exempted from this requirement.
  • ABA recommended a safe harbor shielding trustees from liability for investment losses or market-related consequences of a required disposition, provided they act in good faith.
  • ABA proposed letting a successor trustee rely on a transferring trustee's documented eligibility determination until its next periodic review, no later than 12 months after the prior review, or until it has actual knowledge of ineligibility.
