Mayer Brown partner Matthew Bisanz is quoted in this article regarding enforcement action issuances plummeting to a record low while terminations surged in 2025 as federal banking regulators shifted supervisory priorities. "There has been a strong shift to focusing on material financial harm as a reason for bringing enforcement activities and not penalizing people for technical compliance failures or inadvertent immaterial oversight," said Matthew Bisanz.
