Public Comments on Applications

Written comments on a corporate filing should be submitted to the District Licensing Office where the bank filed the original application.  Commenters can identify the appropriate District Licensing Office by referencing the alpha code in the OCC control number (e.g., 2011SO021234).  “SO” for Southern District, “NE” for Northeastern District, “CE” for Central District, and “WE” for Western District.  A complete list of district contact information and a district map is available at Application Contacts.  For more information, refer to the “Public Comment” section in the Public Notice and Comments (PDF) booklet in the Comptroller's Licensing Manual.

To view the public comment period end date for a filing by a national bank for a merger, consolidation, or purchase and assumption, see the Weekly Merger Public Comment Period Report (PDF).

Registered Agents

National banks do not have "registered agents." Therefore, matters relating to registered agents should be directed to the specific bank's president. Please contact the bank directly to obtain the name and business address of the bank's president.
