Office of the Comptroller of the Currency releases July enforcement actions, including BSA AML order for United Texas Bank

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released its July 2026 enforcement actions, led by a cease and desist order against United Texas Bank in Dallas, Texas, over deficiencies in its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance program. The release also includes an order of prohibition against a former JPMorgan Chase Bank employee for theft from the bank and four termination orders ending prior actions against other institutions. For United Texas Bank, the OCC said the BSA and AML weaknesses resulted in violations of law or regulation. The bank had previously consented to an August 2024 order issued with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and the Texas Department of Banking, and it consented to the OCC order as part of its conversion to a national bank supervised by the OCC. Separately, the OCC prohibited Ezekiel Dorsey, former lead associate for operations at the Edgewood, Atlanta, Georgia branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, after he stole approximately USD 120,000 from the bank while servicing automated teller machines. The OCC also terminated a formal agreement with Patriot Bank, National Association, and cease and desist orders against Quontic Bank and Sidney Federal Savings and Loan Association, as well as a formal agreement with Texas Heritage National Bank. The agency said it terminates actions when a bank has complied with all articles, when noncompliant articles have become outdated or irrelevant, or when those articles are incorporated into a new action.
