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%).

NIST sets out ten design tenets for managing AI agent identities

NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence has published an initial set of ten design tenets for identity, authentication and authorization of AI agents. The post draws on public comments to an ongoing NCCoE project and will guide forthcoming demonstrations. For firms planning to deploy agents at scale, it signals the controls that emerging standards work is likely to coalesce around.

NIST proposes that agents hold zero standing privilege, with access bounded to the minimum scope for a task and granted just-in-time, time-bounded and audience-specific.
The logic determining what an agent attempts should be architecturally separated from the systems determining what it is allowed to do, because LLMs process data and instructions as a single token stream.
Deterministic capabilities should be the primary mechanism for access decisions, with probabilistic information used only as input, to limit the impact of attacks such as prompt injection.
Enterprises should maintain an independent, append-only, tamper-evident log of agent identity, delegated intent and resulting actions, kept outside the agent's reach.
NIST states not all tenets can be met by current standards and technology and frames them as a roadmap for the NCCoE's planned agentic demonstrations.

ABA sets strategy to help banks navigate tokenized money

This item covers remarks by ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols opening the 2026 ABA Annual Convention, in which he outlined the association's plan to support member banks on tokenized money. Compliance and digital asset teams at smaller banks should note the resource gap Nichols flagged and what ABA is offering to close it.

ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols outlined the strategy in remarks opening the 2026 ABA Annual Convention in Salt Lake City.
ABA will serve as the banking industry's "on-ramp," positioning itself as a primary source of education, guidance and practical support on tokenized money.
ABA will also act as a "trusted convener," bringing industry participants together and advocating for fair, equitable access to tokenized money infrastructure.
Nichols said many banks lack the resources, expertise or market visibility available to larger institutions when it comes to tokenized money.

BIS renews export denial order against Mahan Airways for another year

This Federal Register order renews a long-running temporary denial order (TDO) that strips Mahan Airways and several affiliated individuals and companies of U.S. export privileges. It covers the procedural history and factual basis BIS relies on to extend the order, relevant to compliance teams screening counterparties and aircraft transactions involving Iran-linked carriers.

The original temporary denial order against Mahan Airways was signed on March 17, 2008 and took effect upon Federal Register publication on March 21, 2008.
BIS's Office of Export Enforcement submitted a written renewal request on September 8, 2026, more than 20 days before the TDO's scheduled expiration, as required by 15 CFR 766.24(d)(1).
The renewal continues denial of export privileges for twelve named respondents including Mahan Airways, Al Naser Airlines, Kerman Aviation, Sirjanco Trading LLC and Issam Shammout.
No opposition to the renewal request was received, and no appeal has been filed against any of the related-person determinations made in six prior renewal or modification orders.
BIS based the renewal on evidence including unauthorized re-export of U.S.-origin Boeing 747 and Airbus aircraft, procurement of U.S.-origin engines, and transport of controlled aircraft parts to Iran.

ABA backs Nacha proposal to formally define 'banking day' in ACH rules

Nacha has proposed writing a formal definition of 'banking day' into its operating rules, replacing reliance on whether a bank is physically open. ABA's comment letter backs the change, arguing it modernizes how settlement timing is measured across the ACH Network. Relevant for payments and operations teams tracking ACH rule changes.

Nacha proposed defining 'banking day' as a calendar day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal banking holiday in the United States.
The proposal would replace references to 'date' with 'banking day' in the definition of 'settlement date'.
The term 'business day' would be eliminated from that section of Nacha's rules.
ABA submitted a letter urging Nacha to adopt the proposal, citing greater certainty, consistency and operational fairness.
Current practice relies on an understanding that 'banking day' means Monday through Friday excluding federal holidays, according to Nacha.

Eighth Circuit strikes down Fed's debit card interchange fee cap

A federal appeals court has struck down the Federal Reserve's 15-year-old Regulation II, which capped debit card interchange fees. This affects how banks with over $10 billion in assets calculate swipe fees, and the Fed must now rewrite the rule. Compliance and payments teams should track the Fed's response.

The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Fed's Regulation II debit card interchange fee structure, adopted in 2011.
The ruling upholds a lower court decision from August 2025 in which Judge Daniel Traynor found the Durbin Amendment bars the Fed from considering costs beyond incremental authorization, clearance or settlement.
Under the current rule, institutions with more than $10 billion in assets can collect 21 cents per debit transaction plus 0.05% of the transaction amount and an additional cent for fraud prevention.
The court ordered the Fed to rewrite the rule because it improperly allowed banks to include costs such as fraud prevention in swipe fee calculations.
A separate federal appellate court is considering similar questions in the Linney's Pizza case, where the district court upheld the Fed's rule.

Fannie Mae has revised its artificial intelligence and cybersecurity requirements through Supplemental Bulletin 26-01, which becomes effective on Jan 18. The update introduces a 36-hour incident reporting window, new controls for what it now calls 'super intelligence' systems, and a reshaped set of business continuity obligations. It matters to any lender or servicer that does business with the GSE and manages third-party technology risk.

Supplemental Bulletin 26-01 becomes effective on Jan 18 and renames all AI references to 'SI', for super intelligence, per the Trump administration's preference.
Companies must report cybersecurity incidents to Fannie Mae within a 36-hour window, including event date, actions taken and whether operations were suspended.
New SI requirements cover risk assessments, data governance standards, model training and testing controls, and monitoring for security risk.
Unlike Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae does not require an indemnification agreement, but the bulletin makes companies responsible for third-party vendor compliance.

Gainesville DME owner convicted in $8.6M Medicare orthotic brace fraud scheme

A federal jury in the Middle District of Florida has convicted the owner of a durable medical equipment company over an $8.6 million Medicare fraud built on forged and purchased prescriptions for orthotic braces. The case shows how telemarketing lead-buying, kickbacks and billing for unwanted devices combine into a chargeable scheme, and where DOJ's reconstituted Fraud Division is now focusing.

A federal jury in the Middle District of Florida convicted Sophie Dufort, 57, in a scheme causing over $8.6 million in fraudulent Medicare claims for orthotic braces.
Dufort was convicted of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud, two counts of health care fraud, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and pay illegal kickbacks, and one count of offering and paying illegal kickbacks.
The prescriptions were bought from marketing firms that used high-pressure telemarketing or stole physician credentials to create forged prescriptions without any patient evaluation.
Dufort faces a maximum of 20 years for the fraud conspiracy, 10 years for each fraud and kickback count, and 5 years for the conspiracy to defraud the United States, with sentencing set for January 2027.
The case was investigated by HHS-OIG and the FBI and prosecuted under the Justice Department's National Fraud Enforcement Division and its Health Care Fraud Strike Force Program.

NYSE moves to overhaul clearly erroneous trade rule and raise multi-stock threshold

The SEC has put out for comment a NYSE proposal to rewrite Rule 7.10 on clearly erroneous executions. The filing reorganises the rule into definitions, availability and procedures, raises the multi-stock event threshold, removes multi-day event provisions and codifies cross-market coordination. For anyone trading NYSE-listed names, it changes when a trade can be broken and who can trigger review.

NYSE filed the proposal on October 8, 2026 and the SEC published notice in the Federal Register on October 23, 2026 to solicit comments.
The multi-stock event definition would rise to 50 or more securities executed within five minutes, up from 20 in the current rule, a threshold NYSE says has not been updated since 2010.
Rule 7.10 would be reorganised into three paragraphs: (a) Definitions, (b) Availability of Clearly Erroneous Review structured as numbered Cases 1 to 5, and (c) Procedures.
A new cross-market coordination provision would codify the Exchange's practice of coordinating with other SROs, and current paragraph (b)(2) on routed executions would be deleted.
Several deadlines would move to 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the following trading day in light of T+1 settlement, and CEE Panel member representatives would be cut to 5 from 10.

The National Security Division has resolved its first 'near miss' non-prosecution agreement under the 2026 Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy. Extreme Networks avoided prosecution despite disclosing only under threat of a news report, because it cooperated fully and remediated. The case shows how the Policy treats disclosures that fall short of 'timely' but still earn credit, and what penalty level that produces.

Extreme Networks agreed to pay criminal penalties totaling $975,721.84, comprising $487,860.92 in forfeiture and a $487,860.92 criminal fine.
This is the Department's first 'near miss' non-prosecution agreement under the 2026 Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy.
The disclosure was deemed untimely because it came under imminent threat of disclosure by a news publication, but cooperation and remediation still earned NPA treatment.
Between March 2018 and March 2022, the company's Russia subsidiary filled 11 purchase orders for MMZA, a producer of S-300 and S-400 systems owned by SDN-listed Almaz Antey.

ABA survey finds most U.S. consumers wary of letting AI agents move their money

The American Bankers Association released Morning Consult polling at its 2026 Annual Convention gauging consumer attitudes to agentic AI in banking and to pending digital asset legislation. The numbers arrive as banks weigh how to handle AI agents seeking account access, and as Congress revisits the stalled Clarity Act. For compliance and policy teams, it signals where the ABA will press lawmakers and supervisors next.

The survey reports 79% of adults say consumers should not be required to share online banking usernames and passwords with an AI tool, and 80% think a bank should be able to tell whether it is dealing with a customer or the customer's AI agent.
Seventy-seven percent are concerned about giving an AI tool permission to move money or make payments, and only 27% say they are likely to use an AI agent to autonomously manage cash balances in the next 12 months.
Nineteen percent say an AI agent has already asked them for login credentials or card numbers, and 74% say they care whether the business handling their finances is held to the same legal requirements as a bank.
On digital assets, consumers by a five-to-one margin (66% vs 14%) want Congress to be cautious, and 61% support prohibiting crypto firms from offering interest-like rewards on stablecoins if they could draw deposits from local banks.
Consumer digital asset adoption remains low in the survey: 17% currently own digital assets, 30% have ever owned them, and 59% say they are not relevant to daily financial life.

FINRA interpretation lets portfolio-margin firms margin hedging swaps with dealers on a PM basis

FINRA has added an interpretation to Rule 4240, its margin regime for security-based swaps carried by members that are not registered SBS dealers. Published October 27, 2026, it narrows one computation: how a portfolio-margin-approved firm sets initial margin on an Uncleared Basic SBS entered with a dealer counterparty to hedge its own commercial risk. The change is technical but affects capital and collateral for firms running SBS books under portfolio margin.

The interpretation, dated October 27, 2026, sits under Rule 4240(b)(2)(A)(ii), which governs the Initial Margin Requirement on an Uncleared Basic SBS by reference to Rule 4210 margin on the Equivalent Margin Account.

BIS flags fast-growing AI infrastructure debt and its spillover risk to bond markets

The BIS has published a short bulletin on how the buildout of AI infrastructure is being financed and what it could mean for wider credit markets. It describes the structures moving this debt, the double role banks play, and why spillovers to US Treasury and investment-grade markets have stayed contained for now. Compliance and risk readers at lending and investing institutions should know what the BIS is watching.

AI infrastructure capex is growing fast, with a rising share financed through long-term debt and complex off-balance sheet arrangements.
Off-balance sheet commitments from a few large firms help transform the credit rating of the debt and draw in institutional capital.
Banks often lend both to the financing vehicles and to the investors holding the debt, creating a double exposure.
Spillovers to US Treasury and investment-grade bond markets on AI-financing news days in 2026 were small and short-lived.
The authors warn that sustained issuance at the current pace could change the spillover picture.

ECB's Schnabel sets out three routes for central bank money to go on-chain

Isabel Schnabel used a speech honouring Charles Goodhart to lay out how the Eurosystem intends to place wholesale central bank money onto distributed ledgers. The talk is not a rule, but it signals the architecture the ECB is testing through its Pontes and Appia projects and the model it wants markets to build around. Worth the time for anyone planning tokenised securities or deposit settlement in euro.

Schnabel argued a tokenised system can replicate the two-tier structure of money if central bank money is provided on-chain at 1:1 with tokenised bank deposits.
She distinguished three routes to on-chain central bank money: direct issuance of natively tokenised reserves, bridging or synchronisation leaving reserves non-tokenised, and a private intermediary tokenising fully backed reserves.
Pontes launched on 21 September 2026, combining a bridge solution with Eurosystem DLT and offering settlement via TARGET2 or DLT, with 24/7 availability and decentralised programmability planned.
Project Appia explores architectures including a single unified ledger, interconnected networks and multiple shared ledgers.
Tokenisation's claimed benefits rest on programmability, making settlement conditional on automatically executed rules, and atomicity, where transaction legs settle together or not at all.

Ofqual fines Innovate Awarding £185,000 over qualification fraud failings

Ofqual has penalised awarding organisation Innovate Awarding over its handling of a single centre delivering a Level 3 business administration diploma. The case turns on how long weak controls and a slow investigation left doubtful certificates in place, and sets out what a settlement with the exam regulator now costs. It matters to anyone responsible for fraud oversight across a network of delivery partners.

Ofqual fined Innovate Awarding £185,000 and ordered a £15,000 contribution to investigation and enforcement costs.
Of 858 learners awarded the Level 3 diploma between January 2021 and December 2024, 851 were registered through the centre in question, and 847 of those certificates have been revoked.
Innovate flagged concerns in January 2024 after 130 learners were registered and certificated within 24 hours, but only widened its investigation after Ofqual engaged.
Certificate withdrawals were completed in August 2026, more than two years after concerns first emerged.
Innovate admitted breaching rules A5.1 (via A5.2), A6.1, A6.2, A8.1, A8.2, A8.3, B4, C1, C2, G8.1(b), H2 and H5.3(b), and agreed to 12 months of monitoring.

The release follows the 2000/2001 ECJ and House of Lords rulings.

Washington's Department of Financial Institutions has published an Investment Scam Tracker alert describing a cryptocurrency-linked fraud that impersonated a licensed broker-dealer and a private bank. The alert details the recruitment channel, payment rails and advance-fee tactic used, and sets out how residents can verify licensing and report losses. It is a public-education notice, not an enforcement action.

A firm calling itself Rockland Securities allegedly impersonated the legitimate Rockland Securities, LLC, with contact made via a Facebook work-from-home advert and WhatsApp.
The investor reported losing approximately $23,505 sent via Cash App and Western Union into a platform called Skysphere promising high returns.
An entity impersonating the Bank of Singapore demanded a $3,038 tax fee before withdrawal, a classic advance-fee tactic; the investor did not pay and could not recover funds.
DFI states the allegations and reported losses are unverified and that it cannot assist in recovering lost cryptocurrency funds.

A keynote from the ECB's Supervisory Board flags where risk is building even as reported bank metrics look strong. It covers credit underwriting, capital planning, geopolitical stress testing, climate exposure, AI-driven cyber threats and data quality, and argues against unwinding post-crisis regulation. Relevant for prudential and risk teams tracking supervisory priorities into next year.

Montagner said a recent ECB reverse stress test on geopolitical risk showed effective preparation cannot rely on a single scenario.
The ECB will continue horizontal analyses, targeted reviews and on-site inspections of bank loan-granting practices.
Some banks show shortcomings in risk data aggregation and reporting, which can limit crisis response even when aggregate ratios look robust.
The speech cited extreme 2026 summer heat and exceptionally low water levels on the Rhine and Danube as evidence climate risks are already materialising.
Montagner said the ECB supports removing regulatory redundancies and inconsistencies but opposes dismantling core post-crisis reforms.
