Washington, D.C. (Feb. 12, 2025) — Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey issued the following statement on President Donald Trump’s nomination of Jonathan Gould to serve as comptroller of the currency.
“ICBA and the nation’s community banks congratulate Jonathan Gould on his nomination to serve as comptroller of the currency.
“The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency serves a critical role in ensuring a safe and sound national banking system that serves local communities and the nation’s economy.
