Forum Applauds Senate Banking Committee Passage of Financial Integrity and Regulation Management Act
Washington, D.C. – Financial Services Forum President and CEO Kevin Fromer issued the following statement after the Senate Banking Committee voted today to advance the Financial Integrity and Regulation Management (FIRM) Act to remove reputational risk as a measure used by federal banking agencies to supervise financial institutions:
“We appreciate the Senate Banking Committee’s action to advance common sense legislation to provide greater clarity and create a more stable regulatory environment. The FIRM Act is an important first step to ensure bank supervision is rooted in objective measures of financial and material risk. We look forward to continuing to work with the committee to identify solutions that allow America’s leading banks to continue to provide the products and services their customers rely on.”
