Public Access to Bank Change Filings
The public portions of applications to acquire large shares of a bank or bank holding company are available for immediate inspection at the Federal Reserve Bank(s) listed and at the Board of Governors' offices. You can also request the information on an expedited basis from the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank or via the Board's Freedom of Information Office at https://www.federalreserve.gov/foia/request.htm.
Public Comments Are Publicly Disclosed
Interested persons may submit written comments on the change-in-control applications, but comments must be received by May 27, 2026 at the Reserve Bank indicated or at the Board of Governors (Benjamin W. McDonough, Secretary of the Board, 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20551-0001). Comments received will generally be made available to the public without change and will not be modified to remove personal or business information, so do not include confidential information you do not want disclosed.
