Recent Changes

AllSafe Bank is currently operating in a very challenging regulatory environment that is impacting the entire financial services industry. Because of the challenging economy and well-publicized banking failures, regulators have become much more rigorous in examinations and are increasingly conservative in the approaches they will accept.

In view of COVID-19, the market conditions are worsening.

Additionally, previously collegial regulators sometimes appear adversarial and confrontational. Regulations that used to take months to develop are now changed quickly by regulatory agencies.
