CONFERENCE OF STATE BANK SUPERVISORS

The government relations function of conference of state bank supervisors is the responsibility of the policy and supervision division. The division covers legislative issues and advocacy, regulatory policy, bank supervision practices and coordination, nonbank supervision, and consumer protection. The work of the division focuses on the diversity of the banking industry, tailoring regulation, and serving as state regulators' liaison with federal financial regulators. Staff also engage in efforts to enhance the effectiveness of state supervision of banks and nonbank entities, including financial technology, or fintech, companies. We dedicate considerable time and resources to assisting the states in the coordination of multi-state supervision of the nonbank mortgage industry. Collectively, our goal is to ensure the state financial regulatory system is strongly represented in the formation of federal public policy. We meet this goal by maintaining regular contact with state supervisors to be aware of current issues and coordinate best practices for the benefit of the system.
