OCC Enforcement Actions - March 2026
Summary
The OCC has released its enforcement actions for March 2026, including an Order of Prohibition against a former bank employee for unauthorized withdrawals totaling over $19,000. The release also details the termination of four previous enforcement actions against various banks.
What changed
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued its March 2026 enforcement actions. This release includes an Order of Prohibition against Tabitha McCallister, a former Client Service Representative at Old National Bank, for misappropriating over $19,000 from customer accounts. The OCC also announced the termination of four prior enforcement actions: a Consent Order against Heritage Bank, National Association, and Formal Agreements with 1st National Bank, Slovenian S&LA of Franklin-Conemaugh, and Touchmark National Bank.
These actions highlight the OCC's commitment to holding individuals accountable for misconduct within financial institutions and to formally closing out past regulatory matters when compliance is demonstrated or issues become irrelevant. Regulated entities should be aware that the OCC continues to pursue enforcement actions against individuals for violations and unsafe practices. While no specific compliance deadline is mentioned for these actions, the prohibition order against McCallister is a binding directive. The termination of prior agreements indicates that those specific regulatory obligations have been met or resolved.
What to do next
- Review OCC enforcement actions for March 2026 for potential impact on institutional policies and procedures.
- Ensure robust controls are in place to prevent unauthorized withdrawals and breaches of fiduciary duty.
- Monitor OCC's enforcement actions database for ongoing trends and individual accountability measures.

OCC Announces Enforcement Actions for March 2026

WASHINGTON— The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released enforcement actions for March 2026.
The OCC uses enforcement actions against an institution-affiliated party (IAP) to deter, encourage correction of, or prevent violations, unsafe or unsound practices, or breaches of fiduciary duty. Enforcement actions against IAPs reinforce the accountability of individuals for their conduct regarding the affairs of a bank. The term “institution-affiliated party,” or IAP, is defined in 12 USC 1813(u) and includes bank directors, officers, employees, and controlling shareholders. Orders of Prohibition prohibit an individual from any participation in the affairs of a bank or other institution as defined in 12 USC 1818(e)(7). The OCC has taken the following actions against IAPs:
Order of Prohibition against Tabitha McCallister, former Client Service Representative at Old National Bank, Evansville, Indiana, for making unauthorized withdrawals from Bank customer accounts totaling over $19,000. (Docket No. AA-CE-2026-11)
The OCC terminates enforcement actions when a bank has demonstrated compliance with all articles of an enforcement action; or when the OCC determines that articles deemed “not in compliance” have become outdated or irrelevant to the bank’s current circumstances; or when the OCC incorporates the articles deemed “not in compliance” into a new action. The termination actions are:Order Terminating the Consent Order against Heritage Bank, National Association, Spicer, Minnesota, dated April 2, 2024 (Docket No. AA-WE-2024-24). (Docket No. AA-WE-2026-10)
Order Terminating the Formal Agreement with 1st National Bank, Lebanon, Ohio, dated July 25, 2024 (Docket No. AA-CE-2024-27). (Docket No. AA-CE-2026-1)
Order Terminating the Formal Agreement with Slovenian S&LA of Franklin-Conemaugh, Conemaugh, Pennsylvania, dated July 26, 2024 (Docket No. AA-CE-2024-65). (Docket No. AA-CE-2026-13)
Order Terminating the Formal Agreement with Touchmark National Bank, Alpharetta, Georgia, dated April 17, 2024 (Docket No. AA-SO-2024-25). (Docket No. AA-SO-2026-12)
