The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating and supervising all national banks and federal savings associations.1

Involvement in BCCI Scandal

In February 1978, an OCC officer, Joseph E. Vaez, submitted a report on the Bank of Credit and Commerce International that characterized it as a bank dangerously out of control.1 The OCC claimed to have "lost" this memo, and only released it after a congressional subpoena.2
