The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency published its public enforcement update for November 2025. It reported no new enforcement actions against national banks or federal savings associations, but released two actions against institution-affiliated parties and terminated two previously issued bank actions. The individual actions included an Order of Prohibition against Amy Jo Reid, former Senior Vice President and Director for Purchasing at Associated Bank, N.A. (Green Bay, Wisconsin), for using the bank’s purchasing cards for personal transactions totaling at least USD 411,000 and providing false documents and information to induce the bank to pay those expenses, and a Personal Cease-and-Desist Order against Claudia Russ Anderson, former Community Bank Group Risk Officer of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Sioux Falls, South Dakota), in connection with the bank’s longstanding sales practices misconduct. The terminations covered a Cease-and-Desist Order against Blue Ridge Bank, N.A. (Martinsville, Virginia) that addressed Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) compliance violations and unsafe or unsound practices including capital, liquidity risk management, and information technology controls, and a Formal Agreement with The First National Bank of St. Ignace (St. Ignace, Michigan) addressing unsafe or unsound practices in capital planning, capital stress testing, and strategic planning, as well as a violation related to the payment of dividends. The OCC noted that it terminates actions when an institution demonstrates compliance with all requirements or when remaining provisions are outdated, irrelevant, or incorporated into a new action.
