Michelle Bowman was sworn in as vice chair for supervision at the Federal Reserve on June 9.
Bowman aims to relax regulations on smaller financial institutions to address risks in the system and allow banks to fail without destabilizing the banking system.
She emphasizes the need to streamline de novo bank processes, re-examine regulations for community banks, combat fraud, and encourage innovation in the banking system.
The focus is on establishing clearer standards, separating smaller banks from larger ones in terms of supervision, and addressing issues such as fraud and embracing innovation in financial services.
